MailerPress – Email Marketing, Newsletter, Email Automation & WooCommerce Emails


Je suis un utilisateur Pro de MailerPress et je dois dire que je suis très satisfait de cette extension. Le développement est rapide et le support très réactif. Je ne peux que la recommander !


Une excellente extension !


I've owned licenses for Noptin, Mailster, Newsletter, FluentCRM, and Jetpack CRM at various points. Most are collecting dust in my account. So when I say MailerPress is different, I'm saying it after burning money on plenty of alternatives and using MailerPress for about 6 straight months on a few client and my own personal sites.



Not everyone recognizes the importance of flexibility in writing emails and newsletters - and that's the first thing MailerPress offers. On Block Editor side Emails inherit theme.json colors and typography automatically, so my brand stays consistent without copying hex codes around. Setup wizard took under 3 minutes. SMTP through Emailit is configured in the same flow.



It's not perfect. But I am betting it is better than anything you can get for WordPress-native email marketing right now.
