FAQ

General

What is Getsitecontrol?

Getsitecontrol is an on-site and email marketing platform with a clean interface and a straightforward setup. It combines a highly flexible popup and form builder with a complete email marketing toolkit — broadcasts, automations, and contact management — in a single dashboard. Getsitecontrol works with all major website platforms and offers a dedicated Shopify app and a WordPress plugin.

Who is Getsitecontrol for?

Getsitecontrol is designed for small and mid-sized businesses — ecommerce stores, SaaS brands, media websites, and service providers — that want to manage their website popups and run email marketing campaigns in one place.

Is Getsitecontrol suitable for Shopify?

Yes. Getsitecontrol offers a dedicated email marketing app for Shopify, called GSC Email Marketing, Pop ups. It's deeply integrated with the Shopify platform and supports ecommerce-specific email automations out of the box: welcome sequences, abandoned checkout recovery, post-purchase emails, fulfilled order emails, and customer winback campaigns. Emails can include dynamic product feeds and personalized recommendations pulled directly from the Shopify catalog. Single-use coupon codes can be generated automatically for each recipient. Contact segmentation based on purchase behavior, order value, and shopping history allows you to target the right customers with the right message — on-site and via email.

Is Getsitecontrol beginner-friendly?

Yes. Getsitecontrol is perfect for users with little to no experience building website popups or launching email campaigns. Its visual editor and ready-made templates make it easy to create emails, popups, and automations. Installation is a one-time step, and the platform is managed entirely from a highly intuitive dashboard. A 24/7 human-operated customer support is available via live chat if you have any questions.

How does Getsitecontrol compare to other email marketing platforms?

Getsitecontrol stands out for its straightforward, fast-to-set-up interface, versatile popup and form builder, built-in deliverability tools, predictable pricing, and 24/7 customer support. Compared to platforms like Klaviyo or Mailchimp, Getsitecontrol works well from day one, scales affordably, and provides real support whenever you need it.

On specific features, Getsitecontrol goes further in several areas. The A/B testing — both for website popups and email broadcasts — is more flexible and intelligent than what most platforms offer. The email editor supports unique engagement elements, such as animated text banners, image slideshows, and countdown timers. The email broadcast sending modes are versatile and include gradual ramp-up and ramp-down sending, accelerated sending, timezone-based, and engagement-based sending options. These aren't standard features on most email marketing platforms at this price point.

Is Getsitecontrol affordable for small businesses?

Yes. Unlike most email marketing platforms that charge based on the number of contacts, Getsitecontrol offers unlimited contacts on all plans, so your cost doesn't increase as your list grows. Pricing is a flat monthly subscription starting at $19/month. Email sends are charged separately based on actual sending volume. A free plan is also available to get started without any upfront commitment.

How do I start? Do I need to pay?

You don't need to pay or provide your credit card details to start using Getsitecontrol. Once you sign up, you automatically start with our Free plan.

Email marketing

What can I do with Getsitecontrol?

With Getsitecontrol, you can send email broadcasts, build email marketing automations, grow your email list with pop-up and inline signup forms, tag and segment contacts, and run on-site engagement campaigns such as discount offers, announcement bars, and surveys.

Can I send automated emails with Getsitecontrol?

Yes. Getsitecontrol lets you build automated email workflows triggered by subscriber actions such as form submissions, email link clicks, segment entry, workflows, and webhook requests. For Shopify stores, additional triggers include checkout abandonment, new order, fulfilled order, new subscriber, and customer winback.

Can I send bulk newsletters with Getsitecontrol?

Yes. Getsitecontrol lets you send email broadcasts to your entire list or specific segments. You can create emails from scratch using a built-in visual editor, start with ready-made templates, or import HTML email templates. For sending, you can choose from four modes depending on your objectives: Burst for time-sensitive campaigns where speed is the priority, with optional traffic balancing to protect deliverability; Ramp for controlled, gradual delivery that protects sender reputation — and is particularly effective for new domains or cold audiences; Timezone to deliver at the right local time for each recipient; Smart mode for the optimal send time based on each subscriber's behavior.

Can I import existing contacts into Getsitecontrol?

Yes. You can import existing contacts into Getsitecontrol via a CSV file or directly from Mailchimp, Klaviyo, and Shopify. During import, you can map fields from your source to contact attributes in Getsitecontrol, assign tags, and optionally trigger a welcome workflow automatically. This makes it straightforward to migrate from another platform without losing list structure or starting your automations from scratch.

Can I segment my audience in Getsitecontrol?

Yes. Getsitecontrol lets you create segments based on contact data, tags, email engagement, and custom fields. For Shopify stores, segments can also factor in purchase behavior — including order count, total amount spent, and date of last order.

How does Getsitecontrol ensure email deliverability?

Getsitecontrol tackles deliverability from multiple angles. On the list hygiene side, it supports Google reCAPTCHA and double opt-in to confirm real, engaged subscribers, and automatically verifies email addresses before sending to prevent bounces. On the delivery side, four sending modes let you control how and when emails go out — including Ramp for controlled, gradual delivery that protects sender reputation, a smart mode based on recipient behavior, and timezone-based delivery. You can also send emails from a custom domain with full DKIM, SPF, and DMARC authentication to strengthen inbox placement and brand trust. An automatic link checker scans every email before sending and flags broken or incomplete URLs. A dedicated sender reputation dashboard tracks delivery rates, bounce rates, and spam complaints in real time, surfacing actionable recommendations before issues escalate. Live campaign analytics let you monitor emails delivered, bounced, opened, and unsubscribed as campaigns run.

Does Getsitecontrol help with warming up a new domain?

Yes. Getsitecontrol's Ramp sending mode gradually increases and decreases campaign volume for controlled, reputation-safe delivery — making it the top recommended mode for regular email broadcasts. For new domains or cold audiences specifically, this gradual approach prevents spam filter triggers that typically occur when a new domain sends at full volume from the start. Combined with the Anti-Bounce verification feature and a real-time sender reputation dashboard, Ramp gives new senders the tools to establish deliverability from day one.

Widgets

I'm not a developer. Is Getsitecontrol difficult to install?

Not at all! We will give you a small piece of code to add to the code of your website. It's similar to how you would install a Google Analytics script. If you have never done this before, we have detailed step-by-step guides to walk you through the entire process.

Will I need to edit my website's code often?

No, you won't. You will only need to do it once when setting up the account. After the initial installation, you will be able to edit, create and publish widgets with a click of a button in your Getsitecontrol dashboard.

How many widgets can I create?

As many as you need. There are no limitations on the number of widgets you can create and publish on your website.

Can I use Getsitecontrol on my clients' websites?

Yes, you are free to use Getsitecontrol widgets on websites you are building or managing for your clients. You can easily manage multiple websites under one account.

Do you offer an API?

Yes, we do. Find out how you can use it to send collected data to third-party applications, display widgets based on link clicks and more in our documentation for developers.

Can I integrate Getsitecontrol with Google Analytics?

Yes, you can. Integrate your Getsitecontrol account with Google Analytics and all widget actions will be sent as custom events to your GA dashboard.

What website platforms does it work on?

Getsitecontrol works on every website platform you can think of. Plus, there is a dedicated app for Shopify and a WordPress plugin.

GDPR & Data Processing

What data do the widgets collect from website visitors?

In addition to the form fields you configure, all Getsitecontrol widgets collect a visitor's location, OS, browser and device type. Note that it's forbidden to collect sensitive personal data using Getsitecontrol forms.

Can I sign a DPA with you?

We've eliminated the need to sign a data processing agreement by incorporating the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) into the Getsitecontrol Terms of Service. SCCs offer sufficient safeguards to protect user data when it's transferred internationally, and they've been validated by the EU Court of Justice.

Can I collect consent for data processing with widgets?

Yes, you can collect explicit consent from your website visitors when you capture their data. To do that, simply add a mandatory consent checkbox to your Getsitecontrol forms. This way, your visitors won't be able to submit any information without providing explicit consent to data processing.

For how long do you store collected data?

By default, all the data in your account is stored for as long as the account exists. After you delete your account, the data is stored for 30 days and then it gets permanently deleted. If you need some of your account data deleted sooner, let us know.

Can I choose to exercise my “right to be forgotten”?

If you receive a request to erase or rectify personal data processed by Getsitecontrol, simply contact us. We have the tools to accommodate such requests.

Where do you store data?

All data is stored on secure Amazon servers. The servers are located in the US.

Pricing & Payments

How much does it cost?

We offer three subscription plans: Free, Pro ($19/month), and Pro Max ($29/month). All plans include widgets, automations, email broadcasts, built-in templates, and live chat support. You can learn more about the plans on our Pricing page.

Can I switch between plans after I've signed up for one?

Sure! You can add extra sites, switch between plans, as well as between monthly and annual billing. If you change your plan in the middle of a billing period, any unused balance will be carried over to future billing periods.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept PayPal payments and all major credit cards.

Are emails included in the subscription plans?

Emails are purchased separately. Paid plans offer lower email prices, with extra discounts for larger volumes.

Do you offer any other discounts?

Yes, we offer additional discounts. When you choose our annual subscription plan, you can save up to 25%. We also provide dynamic discounts on email purchases – the exact discount depends on your plan and the number of emails you buy.

How can I get a receipt for my payment?

You can download receipts for any of your payments in the Billing section of your account.

Do you have an agency plan?

No, we don't have a special plan for agencies. However, we offer plans that allow you to create widgets for multiple websites, add multiple users to your account and restrict their access rights. This makes Getsitecontrol a perfect tool for agencies.

How many websites can I add to my account?

You can add several sites in the Billing section of your account. Keep in mind that our prices are per site. All sites in an account will have the same billing plan, e.g. Pro (5 sites) plan.

What happens if my widgets reach the views limit?

When the number of views has reached the limit allowed on your plan, your widgets will stop being displayed on your website. You will still have full access to your account and its data. On the reset date, your widgets will start displaying again.
