Official MailerLite plugin for embedding MailerLite sign-up forms and popups on a WordPress site, through a shortcode, a block or a widget. It can also load MailerLite's universal script to show popups and track subscribers' visits. It suits sites that already use MailerLite for email. Forms and subscribers live in the MailerLite account, so the site needs an API key and an active MailerLite account.
