Opt-In Downloads (formerly Subscribe & Download) is a plugin that allows you to distribute files via subscriptions. If people want to download something from your website or third-party websites, they have to submit their contact details. After submitting, they receive the download link via email. Very simple workflow. All submitted data is saved in the database and/or can be sent to popular email marketing providers such as MailChimp, iContact, GetResponse, etc. All saved data can be exported as a CSV file to be used with other newsletter systems. Opt-In Downloads is a perfect way to extend the functionality of your website.
