Overview #

Popup Maker registers a Subscription Form shortcode with WordPress ([pum_sub_form]) that is available to all plugin users. The  MailChimp Integration plugin extension adds features to this shortcode specific to the use of MailChimp. 

The MailChimp plugin uses the Popup Maker shortcode user interface (UI) to allow for easier shortcode editing and live form previews in the Popup Editor. Shortcode attributes can also be viewed directly on the Editor Text tab to inspect, add, edit, or delete settings.

This article describe the shortcode options added by the MailChimp Integration plugin to the Subscription Form box. The related article link below describes how to set up a subscription form popup with the Popup Maker shortcode button.
