What we verified
| Creating an account from abroad | No US-only block — only OFAC-embargoed countries are barred |
| Paying with a US card | US-issued card works normally; PayPal and Apple Pay also accepted |
| Paying with a non-US card | Multi-currency billing (USD/EUR/GBP/CAD/AUD and more); currency locks after the first payment |
| Access without a VPN | Direct access from abroad — no VPN, no reports of foreign-IP blocking |
| Required mailing address | Every campaign footer must carry a physical postal address (CAN-SPAM); a PO box or forwarding address is accepted |
| The catch | SMS two-factor can fail on a foreign SIM (use an authenticator app); phone support runs US hours |
Where we checked
What you should know before signing up from abroad
Constant Contact is a pure web app, so an American in Thailand or the Philippines logs in through the browser exactly as they would in the US. The official policy ties unavailability to OFAC-embargoed nations only — none of the expat-popular countries are on that list. Building lists, automations and sending campaigns all function normally abroad; deliverability depends on your sending reputation, not your physical location.
Payments are expat-friendly: a US card keeps working, and Constant Contact also bills in several non-US currencies and accepts PayPal and Apple Pay, so a non-US card is viable too. One quirk — once you've taken a payment the account currency is locked, so choose it carefully.
The admitted drawback is legal, not technical: every campaign must include a real physical mailing address in the footer (CAN-SPAM), enforced before you can schedule a send. An expat with no fixed US address must supply a valid postal address (a PO box or mail-forwarding address works) that becomes visible to recipients. SMS-based two-factor can also break on a foreign SIM — switching to an authenticator app solves it.
Quick answers
Can I log in and send campaigns from the Philippines?
Yes — it's browser-based with no geo-block; only OFAC-embargoed countries are barred.
I don't have a US mailing address — can I still send?
You must put a valid physical postal address in the footer to schedule any campaign; a PO box or mail-forwarding address is accepted, and it will be visible to recipients.
Will my US card or a foreign card work?
Both — US cards work, and Constant Contact bills in several non-US currencies plus PayPal and Apple Pay. Set your currency carefully; it can't be changed after the first payment.
