Newsletter capture and sending, without a third-party list tool
Email lists rot when they live somewhere your website cannot see. GoGee keeps the subscriber list in the same database as your customers and orders, so a subscriber who becomes a buyer is one record rather than two systems to reconcile.

Newsletter capture + platform send, data flow, generated from the shared GoGee feature diagram template.
Capture that converts on the spot
The signup form writes straight to your subscriber table, and it can hand back a voucher immediately, which is the difference between a list that grows and a footer form nobody fills in. Because voucher issuance is the same mechanism used everywhere else, that welcome discount carries proper limits and an expiry.
Sending happens on-platform
Campaign and transactional mail is sent through the platform's own mail infrastructure rather than by exporting a CSV into someone else's tool. Deliverability, templates and sending all sit behind the same admin as the rest of the site.
To be precise about scope: automatic two-way syncing to external list platforms such as Mailchimp or Klaviyo is not built. If you use one of those, the list is exported or integrated deliberately as part of the project rather than kept in sync automatically.
- Subscriber list stays in your own database
- Email addresses de-duplicated by the database, not by the form
- Signup time is stored, which is what a consent question needs
Questions we get asked
Do subscribers sync to Mailchimp automatically?
No. Sending is handled by the platform's own mail infrastructure; external list-tool syncing is not an automatic feature.
Can I give a discount for signing up?
Yes, signup can issue a voucher from a template, with the usual expiry and usage limits.
Who owns the list?
You do. It lives in your project's database alongside your customers.
