Make sure your emails reach the right contacts by enabling double opt-in on your forms. Double opt-in means that any visitor who has subscribed to your list also needs to take the extra step of verifying their email. This confirms their subscription status.
Some businesses prefer double opt-in to make sure the emails in their subscriber list are active and correct. It's also best practice to make sure you have explicit consent from your subscribers.
Note:
Double opt-in is only available using new Wix Forms.
This article will help you understand the differences between old and new Wix Forms.
