User Lists

User Lists or Mailing Lists are the lists of users that can be used to segment the customers based on some conditions. The lists, then, can be synced with the corresponding lists on an email marketing service providers to send out mail campaigns to users.

You can manage the user lists in Marketing> User Lists section of StoreHippo Admin Panel.

Default user lists

By default, two user lists are provided which are used to store the email ids of the newsletter and password page. You can edit the user lists but cannot delete them.

When a customer subscribes to the newsletter of your website, the email ids of the customers are saved in the newsletter user list. You can use the email list to notify your customers.
