This is a default X-Cart MailChimp Newsletters module, bundled with X-Cart. It does not require installation, you only need to enable and configure it. When the module is configured, customers on checkout see an offer to subscribe to a newsletter. All the other tasks (creating and managing lists and newsletter contents) are done on the MailChimp side.

Enabling and configuring MailChimp Newsletters
