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.

πŸ‘‰ 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

  1. Go to Contacts

  2. Apply filters, for example:

    • Single opt-ins

    • Specific tags

    • Any other criteria

  3. Select all contacts at the top

  4. Click Take Action

  5. Choose Opt-out

  6. Confirm the action

πŸ‘‰ 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

  1. Go to Segments

  2. Create a new segment with your filters

    Example:

    • Consent = Single opt-in

      • timeframe (e.g. older than 2 weeks)

  3. Click Save Segment

  4. Open the segment (3-dot menu)

  5. Select Bulk Actions

  6. 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
