Plugin: Spotler MailPro (WebPower)

Spotler MailPro (WebPower) Title Image

With our Spotler MailPro (WebPower) plugin, we combine the strengths of Shopware and Spotler. With this integration, you can seamlessly integrate your e-commerce system and your newsletter system. In Shopware, the standard newsletter functionality focuses on managing subscriber lists and ensuring GDPR compliance through a double opt-in process. However, Shopware lacks built-in tools for creating or sending newsletters. As a result, it's common practice to integrate Shopware with external newsletter systems to handle the marketing aspects effectively.
