Overview

Mail Chimp is the leading marketing email platform. Our integration syncs your customer and sale information through to Mail Chimp to allow you to send automated emails or targeted email campaigns. Some examples of what can be achieved with this integration are:
  • Automatically subscribe your customers to a newsletter mailing list.
  • Send targeted promotional emails to customers based on their previous purchases.
  • Win back lapsed customers. Create an email or series of emails to encourage lapsed customers to return to your store or re-engage with your campaigns. Showcase your latest products to customers who haven’t made a purchase in a while, or offer an incentive to potential customers who have signed up for your list but haven’t bought an item from your store just yet.
  • Sending automated follow-up emails after a purchase.
