Using our Shopit snippet functionality, you can easily integrate a Mailchimp 'Sign up to our Newsletter' box on your website.

2. Go to Audience - Signup Forms
   
3. Select or Create and Audience (or List, e.g. Website signups)
   

Embed a Form (e.g. in the footer)

1. Choose Embedded Forms
   

1. Create your Form - we suggest using the Advanced - Custom CSS so that the design works well with your website design
   
2. Shorter forms (such as the Mailchimp Condensed) work better with Footer messages or Popups, or you can create a whole new page on your website for longer forms (such as the Mailchimp Classic)
   
3. Copy the code generated for you under 'Copy/paste onto your site'
   
4. Go to your Sales Channel Design page and click Edit - Edit website
   
5. Scroll down to e.g. the Footer_block_1 snippet and click the green bar to edit
   

1. Paste your Mailchimp code in and customise accordingly.
   

1. For example:
   
2. Change the "background:#fff" to "background"#000" if you want it black
   
3. Add "color:#fff;" if you want the font color to be white on this new black background.
   
4. For more simple CSS guidance, we recommend visiting W3 Schools or FreeCodeCamp or contacting us on LiveChat via your Shopit admin for some help
