What it is

What is a Collect Emails block (email capture form)?

Every Collect Emails block on CreatorStore follows the same 3-step flow: pick a use case (lead magnet, newsletter, promo code, application, waitlist, or beta signup), customize the fields (email is required; add any custom questions you want), publish. Every submission lands in your customer base with the email, timestamp, and answers — sortable, searchable, exportable to CSV anytime.

What you don't have to build: automatic delivery of the lead-magnet PDF or promo code after signup, double opt-in for newsletters, waitlist position numbers for beta signups — all included. The list stays yours forever, exportable to Mailchimp, ConvertKit, or any tool with one click. No external form embed, no plug-in setup, no per-signup fee.

What you can offer

Six lead magnet types. One block.

Same form, five ways to deliver value. Pick the one that fits your audience and content — switch any time without rebuilding the form.

Placement
📄 Inline ✓
🪟 Popup
✓ Inline = part of your storefront cards

Inline OR popup placement

Inline = lead magnet appears as a normal product card on your storefront. Popup = the same card slides in as an overlay after a delay. One toggle to switch — no rebuilding.

Popup delay
⏱ Show after10 seconds
5s

Custom
✓ Set in seconds · backdrop dim · close X

Configurable popup delay

Set how many seconds the visitor must spend on the page before the popup appears. Preset 5s · 10s · 30s or set a custom value. Triggers once per visit so it never annoys returning readers.

Secure file delivery
🔒 Unique signed link per subscriber✓ ON
📄 Direct file URL hidden✓ Protected
⏱ Link expires after 30 days✓ Default
✓ No leaked Dropbox / Google Drive links

Unique download links

Each subscriber gets a signed download URL tied to their email. The direct file URL is never exposed — so a leaked link can't be shared on Reddit. Auto-expires after 30 days by default.

Setup

Build a form. Pick delivery. Publish.

Two minutes from blank to live capture. No Zapier glue, no embedding 4 different tools, no separate hosting for files.

Step 1 · Pick delivery method
🔗 Redirect URLswitch anytime
🏷️ Promo codeswitch anytime
📨 Newsletterswitch anytime
💬 Feedback formswitch anytime
✓ Pick one · switch later if you want

Pick from 5 delivery types

File download, redirect URL, promo code reveal, newsletter signup, or feedback form. Each one renders the same email form on your storefront — only the post-submit experience changes.

Step 2 · Choose placement
📄 Inline ✓
🪟 Popup
⏱ Popup delay (if popup)10s
✓ Inline = always visible · Popup = timed overlay

Inline or timed popup

Inline keeps the form always visible on your storefront. Popup turns it into an overlay that slides in after N seconds. Switch placement any time — same form, different visibility.

How it works

From form to subscriber — in 4 steps.

Build the form once. Visitors trade email for value. Subscribers land in your customer base.

01
Build

Set form fields

Email is required by default. Add Full Name, Phone, Company, or custom fields. Mark each one required or optional.

02
Deliver

Pick delivery method

File download · Redirect URL · Promo code · Newsletter signup · Feedback form. Configure the post-submit experience.

03
Place

Inline or popup

Show as a normal card on your storefront, OR as a timed popup overlay. If popup, set the delay (5s · 10s · 30s · custom).

04
Collect

Emails roll in

Every signup lands in My Customers, tagged with source. Export CSV, segment by lead magnet, reach out manually — you own the list.

Placement modes

Two ways to show a lead magnet.

Pick how visitors see your form. Both modes live in the same editor — switch any time, no rebuilding.

Mode 1

Inline product card

Lead magnet appears as a normal product card on your storefront — alongside paid products. Always visible, browsable, scrollable.

  • Discoverable on first visit
  • Works with all 5 delivery types
  • Best for SEO + organic traffic
Mode 2

Timed popup overlay

Same form, but slides in as an overlay after N seconds. Captures attention from passive scrollers. Triggers once per visit — never annoys returning readers.

  • Configurable delay (5s · 10s · 30s · custom)
  • Backdrop dim + close X
  • Higher conversion vs always-inline
FAQ

Lead magnet FAQ.

Anything else? Reach out — we reply within 24 hours.

Is this really free?
Yes — the Lead Magnet block is free forever, for everyone. No watermark, no signup cap, no "powered by" tag. Capture as many emails as you want, switch between all five delivery types, run inline or popup placements — all on the house. See pricing for the full breakdown of what's free vs paid blocks.
Is the lead magnet free for my audience?
Yes — always free for them, too. Lead Magnets are designed to capture emails in exchange for value (a PDF, a code, a newsletter spot), not to charge money. If you want to charge, use a paid product block instead.
What does this replace?
For most creators capturing emails: ConvertKit forms + Mailchimp signup pages + HubSpot forms + Typeform (for feedback) + Hotjar/Hello Bar (for popups) + OneTrust/Cookiebot (for consent) + Gumroad (for free PDF delivery). One block does all of it — free forever, no watermark, unlimited signups.
Do I own the email list or do you?
You own it. Every email captured lands in your customer base under your CreatorStore account. We never email your subscribers. Export to CSV at any time, sync to your favourite ESP (Mailchimp, ConvertKit, Beehiiv) manually, or message directly from the dashboard.
Can I import my existing list from Mailchimp / Substack / Mailerlite / ConvertKit?
Yes — built-in. Export your current list as a CSV from any ESP (almost all of them have a one-click "Export" button), then upload it in Customers → Import. Email, name, signup date, and source tags are preserved. Bulk import handles thousands of subscribers in seconds. No manual paste, no API key juggling.
How does file delivery work? Are my files secure?
After email confirmation, each subscriber gets a unique signed download URL sent to their inbox. The direct file URL is never exposed — so a leaked link can't be shared publicly. Links expire after 30 days by default. Files up to 25MB each (PDFs, ZIPs, images supported).
Does Newsletter delivery actually send emails?
Not yet — Newsletter signups currently just capture the email into your customer base. From there you can export to your ESP (Mailchimp, ConvertKit, Beehiiv) and run your campaigns there. Native email-sending is on our roadmap; until then, think of CreatorStore as your signup forms + customer list, not your sender.
Where do Feedback form responses go?
Two places: (1) saved in your dashboard with timestamp, email, and response text, and (2) emailed to your creator account inbox in real-time so you can reply directly. No Typeform or Tally subscription needed.
How do I configure the popup delay?
In the Placement tab, toggle on "Show as popup" and set the delay in seconds. Presets are 5s · 10s · 30s, or enter a custom value. The popup triggers once per visit and is dismissable — visitors who close it won't see it again that session.
GDPR / CCPA / CAN-SPAM — is the form compliant out of the box?
Yes. Every form type ships with the right consent checkboxes built in:

Free download: required "My email will be shared with the author" + optional marketing checkbox (independent — doesn't gate submit)
Paid purchase: required "I agree to the Privacy Policy and author's Terms & Conditions. My details will be shared with the author" + optional marketing
Newsletter signup: single combined consent — marketing + data-sharing + privacy in one checkbox (clearest legal pattern for pure marketing collection)
Contact / Feedback form: implicit consent via submit button, with a notice under it linking to Privacy Policy

Every submission logs timestamp · IP address · privacy policy version · creator Terms & Conditions version · which checkboxes were ticked. Audit-ready out of the box. Required checkboxes gate the submit button; optional marketing is fully independent. You don't write the legal copy — we do, and we version it so old consent records stay valid against the policy version they agreed to.
Can subscribers unsubscribe / be removed from the list?
Yes. Each customer record has a remove option, and bulk-delete by source is available. If a subscriber requests removal (GDPR right-to-be-forgotten), you can delete their record from My Customers in one click. We don't email them on your behalf, so there's no separate unsubscribe flow to manage.
