What is double opt-in vs single opt-in? A Plain-English Guide

Double opt-in asks subscribers to confirm via a click after signing up; single opt-in does not. Double opt-in produces cleaner lists, fewer spam traps and better long-term deliverability.

Why it matters for deliverability

Understanding double opt-in vs single opt-in is part of building a list that lands. Get it right and more of your mail reaches the inbox; get it wrong and even legitimate mail can be filtered.
