How to Bulk Opt-Out Contacts (Clean your list)
Overview
If you want to remove contacts from your billing, you should not delete them, but instead opt them out.
π Important:
Do not delete contacts unless there is a specific reason
Deleting removes them permanently and makes future changes impossible
Opt-out is enough to ensure they are not billed anymore
Method 1: Opt-Out via Contact List
Step-by-step
Go to Contacts
Apply filters, for example:
Single opt-ins
Specific tags
Any other criteria
Select all contacts at the top
Click Take Action
Choose Opt-out
Confirm the action
π Result:
Contacts are opted out
They will no longer be billed in the next billing cycle
Method 2: Opt-Out via Segments (Recommended for advanced filtering)
Segments allow you to use more advanced filters, such as:
Shopify data
Klaviyo data
Time-based conditions (e.g. older opt-ins)
Step-by-step
Go to Segments
Create a new segment with your filters
Example:
Consent = Single opt-in
timeframe (e.g. older than 2 weeks)
Click Save Segment
Open the segment (3-dot menu)
Select Bulk Actions
Click Update Consent β Opt-out
Result
All selected contacts are now opted out
They remain visible in your list for transparency
They will no longer be billed
Best Practices
Use segments for regular list cleanups
Define clear filters (e.g. inactive users, old opt-ins)
Avoid deleting contacts to prevent data loss
