WP Smart Consent adds a GDPR-compliant opt-in checkbox to MetForm. When a customer ticks it and submits a form, their details are automatically forwarded to MailPoet in real time.

The connection explained
WP Smart Consent adds a GDPR-compliant opt-in checkbox to your form. It is unchecked by default, so the visitor must actively tick it to subscribe. When they do and submits a form, WP Smart Consent immediately captures the consent with a timestamp and stores it in your WordPress database, giving you a complete audit trail without any third-party dependency. In the same request, it adds the contact directly to MailPoet inside your WordPress installation, with name, email, and any custom fields you have mapped. No data leaves your server. No cron delays. No code.

FAQ
No. WP Smart Consent hooks directly into MetForm's action system and injects the checkbox automatically. There is nothing to edit in your theme, checkout template, or form layout.
Yes. The checkbox is unchecked by default, so the customer must actively tick it to subscribe. This is intentional: explicit, unambiguous consent is required by GDPR. Only customers who tick the box are forwarded to MailPoet. Customers who leave it unticked are never added to your list.
By default: first name, last name, and email address. You can map additional custom fields from the WP Smart Consent dashboard to any field your source plugin captures , such as order value, product name, or any custom form field.
Consent is logged locally in your WordPress database with the subscriber's email, the source plugin name, and a timestamp, giving you a complete audit trail without any third-party dependency.
Yes. You'll need an active MailPoet account and an API key (or equivalent credential) to enter in the WP Smart Consent settings. The plugin handles all API communication from there.
