A complete Self-Hosted Email Marketing Solution for WordPress
Virfice brings email marketing into WordPress, giving you direct control over your audience and campaign data. Your contacts remain on your website instead of being locked inside a third-party email marketing platform.
- No per-subscriber or per-contact pricing.
- No artificial limit on the number of contacts you can manage.
- Send through your preferred SMTP or email delivery provider.
- Keep your audience, campaigns, and marketing data in WordPress.
- Manage newsletters, automations, forms, and transactional emails from one dashboard.
Your practical sending volume, deliverability, and sending costs depend on your hosting environment and chosen email delivery provider.
WordPress Newsletters and Email Campaigns
Create, design, schedule, and send newsletters without leaving WordPress. Use the visual email builder and ready-made templates for product updates, company news, offers, announcements, and regular subscriber newsletters.
Target the right audience using lists and tags, include or exclude specific subscriber groups, personalize email content, send immediately or schedule campaigns, and resend campaigns to contacts who did not open the original email.
Visual Email Builder
Create professional, responsive emails with a visual builder built directly into WordPress. Add and arrange content, personalize messages, apply global brand styles, and reuse sections to design faster while keeping your emails consistent.
- Visual email-building experience.
- Reusable ready blocks and content sections.
- Professionally designed email templates.
- Responsive email layouts.
- Brand-wide header, footer, colors, and styles.
- Dynamic placeholders for personalized content.
- Email preview and test-email options.
Audience and Subscriber Management
Manage your email marketing audience directly inside WordPress.
- Add and update contacts manually.
- Import contacts from CSV files.
- Export audience data.
- Organize contacts with lists and tags.
- Store custom contact fields.
- Include or exclude audience groups from campaigns.
- View and edit individual contact information.
- Manage subscription and unsubscribe status.
Email Marketing Automation
Build event-based email automation workflows using triggers, conditions, delays, and actions. Automatically welcome subscribers, engage WordPress users, follow up with customers, recover abandoned carts, and deliver timely messages based on activity across your website.
Available Automation Triggers
Forms
- Form Submitted
Users & Customers
- New Signup
- User Birthday
- User Logged In
WooCommerce
- Order Created
- Order Paid
- Order Processing
- Order Completed
- Order Cancelled
- Order On Hold
- Order Refunded
- Order Pending Payment
- Customer Account Created
- Cart Abandoned
Use these triggers to create welcome emails, birthday emails, order follow-ups, post-purchase sequences, payment reminders, customer onboarding, cart-recovery campaigns, and other WordPress and WooCommerce email automations.
Abandoned Cart Recovery for WooCommerce
Recover potential sales with automated abandoned-cart emails. Virfice can initiate a workflow when a registered or guest customer’s cart becomes abandoned, allowing you to send timely reminders and guide the shopper back to checkout.
When an abandoned cart is purchased or emptied, its queued recovery workflow is cleared automatically, helping prevent unnecessary follow-up emails.
Lead Capture Forms
Grow your email list with customizable, mobile-friendly signup forms—without installing a separate form plugin. Capture leads directly in WordPress, collect custom information, and connect form submissions to your email marketing automations.
Email Analytics and Tracking
Track campaign delivery, opens, clicks, bounces, and failures from a centralized dashboard. Review campaign performance, understand subscriber engagement, and use the results to improve future newsletters and email campaigns.
Open and click tracking can be affected by recipient privacy features, email-client behavior, and other technical factors.
WordPress and WooCommerce Transactional Emails
Design and manage supported WordPress system emails and WooCommerce transactional emails from one visual interface. Apply your branding, customize the content, preview the result, and send test emails before using a design on your store.
Supported Emails
- New Account Email – Welcome customers or WordPress users after account creation.
