You check anything we weren’t sure about, then schedule it. **Will my email list come across?** Yes. Import subscribers with consent ticked and they get a confirmation email first. Every email has a one-tap unsubscribe. **Is there a contract?** No. Free is free for 1 store, forever. Pro is monthly or yearly, and you can cancel any time from Billing. **Do I have to stop posting on social?** No. Keep posting, and share your BiziBuzz link in the post.
