Mailchimp
Mailchimp is an email marketing platform that you can use to send out newsletters to your customers.
ShopWired's Mailchimp app allows you to connect your ShopWired account to your Mailchimp account. If you don’t already have a Mailchimp account, you can create one here.
Once you have installed and configured the Mailchimp integration, the details of any new customers who create an account, place an order, or sign up to receive your newsletters will automatically be sent to your Mailchimp account based on your settings.
To install this app:
Once the app is installed, configure your Mailchimp settings by navigating to Apps > Mailchimp.

Mapping your audiences
Mapping your audiences

You can map different subscriber lists for the following events:
- When a visitor creates a customer account means when a visitor creates a customer account on your website or you create a customer account through your ShopWired account
- When a visitor applies for a trade account means when a visitor applies for a trade account on your website or you create a customer account through your ShopWired account
- When a visitor creates an order means when a visitor creates an order on your website or you create an order through your ShopWired account
- When a visitor enters their email in the newsletter field means when a visitor uses the newsletter subscriber form on your website
For each event, select an audience from your Mailchimp account using the setting available.
If a newly created Mailchimp audience does not appear in the setting, select the refresh lists option.
