WP eStore and MailChimp Integration

The WP eStore shopping cart plugin can be easily integrated with MailChimp (Email marketing and Email list manager).

The users are added to your MailChimp list when any of the following event happens:

  1. A customer purchases a product.
  2. A visitor submits a squeeze form for a product.

WP eStore MailChimp Integration

To integrate MailChimp with WP eStore simply go to the “Autoresponder Settings” tab from the eStore Settings menu and configure it.

Check the “Enable MailChimp Integration” checkbox then enter your MailChimp API details to set it up.

You can specify a list name on a per product basis too (useful when you want to signup your customers to a different list for different products).

Using MailChimp Interest Groups

You can add interest groups when a customer is added to your MailChimp list too.

Add the interest group data in the “List Name” field of a product like the following:

List Name | groupname1, groupname2

Lets say you have the following scenario:

List Name: my-list-1
Interest Group Names: groupname1, groupname2

Then you would enter the following in the list name field of the eStore product configuration:

my-list-1 | groupname1, groupname2

    Hi Felix, Yes it is the name of the list and not the list ID.

  2. Felix says:

    The “MailChimp List Name” is indeed the List name and not the ID, is that correct? Just want to make sure. Thanks!

  3. Ivy says:

    Hi Jonathan, No it does not send the product id to MailChimp. However you can have different lists for each product.

    Cheers,
    Ivy

  4. Jonathan says:

    He Ivy,

    Does it also send the product ID to Mail Chimp?

    Greetings,
    Jonathan

  5. Jonathan says:

    Thanks Ivy. That’s a cool feature!

    Shalom,
    Jonathan

  6. Ivy says:

    Hi Jonathan, The customer will not be signed up to the list until after the payment has been cleared, this is part of the Post Payment Processing.

    Cheers,
    Ivy

  7. Jonathan says:

    Thanks Ivy.
    So date joined is added to MailChimp?
    But what if customers don’t pay, or a payment is aborted? The joined date is still in Mail Chimp, right?

    Shalom,
    Jonathan

  8. Ivy says:

    Hi Jonathan, The name, email address and date joined (which should be the same date as the purchase date) is sent to MailChimp by default. MailChimp does not store the purchase date and does not have an option for this. This information however is stored in the “Manage Customers” menu in the eStore.

    Cheers,
    Ivy

  9. Jonathan says:

    Hi Ivy and others,

    You are making great plugins!
    A question. I would love to have not only the name, but also emailadress and date of purchase being stored in MailChimp from WPeStore. Is that also possible?

    Shalom,
    Jonathan

    Hi Ric, The first check box is if you want to use MailChimp as your autoresponder. The Global checkbox is if you want to use a global list. you can also specify a list for each product.

    Cheers,
    Ivy

  11. Ivy says:

    Hi Ric, The eStore does not send out the download via MailChimp. eStore only adds the buyer to the mailing list you have specified. You do not need to setup MailChimp to send out the download as the plugin will take care of emailing out the encrypted links.

    Let me know if you have anymore questions.

    Ivy

  12. Ric says:

    Hi Ivy,

    Thanks…

    So in the screenshot above of Mailchimp integration, I understand the second check box (Global) will subscribe new customer to the list.

    What does the first check box do (autoresponder)?

  13. Ric says:

    Quick question about the MailChimp AutoResponder: If I check this, does the eStore system then send the download info via Mailchimp, using all of the info in eStore?

    Or do I have to set it up in Mailchimp?
