README

A Shopware 6 plugin that adds a newsletter subscription checkbox to the checkout confirmation page, allowing customers to subscribe to the newsletter during the order process.

Features

• Newsletter subscription checkbox on checkout confirmation page
• Checks if customer is already subscribed (won't show checkbox if already subscribed)
• Newsletter subscription is only processed when order is completed
• Integrates with Shopware's native newsletter system and double opt-in flow
• Admin configuration to enable/disable the feature
• Multi-language support (German & English)
• Compatible with Shopware 6.6.10 - 6.7.x

Requirements

• Shopware 6.6.10 or higher (up to 6.7.x)
• PHP 8.3 or higher

Installation

Via Composer (recommended)

bin/console plugin:refresh
bin/console plugin:install --activate ActNewsletterCheckout
bin/console cache:clear

Manual

1. Download or clone this plugin into your custom/plugins/ directory

How it works

1. Checkout Display: When a logged-in customer reaches the checkout confirmation page, the plugin checks if they are already subscribed to the newsletter
2. Checkbox Visibility: If the customer is not subscribed, a newsletter subscription checkbox appears below the terms and conditions
3. Order Processing: When the customer completes their order with the checkbox checked, the plugin subscribes them to the newsletter
4. Newsletter Integration: The subscription uses Shopware's native newsletter system, respecting double opt-in settings if configured
