Mailchimp for Shopify
This integration establishes a two-way data sync between Shopify and Mailchimp, primarily managed through an app installed on the Shopify platform. **Shopify to Mailchimp:** - **Customers & Subscribers:** All existing and new customers from Shopify are automatically added to a designated Mailchimp audience. This includes their name, email, and marketing consent status. Custom fields like order count and total spent are also synced. - **Product Catalog:** Your entire Shopify product catalog, including images, descriptions, and prices, is synced to Mailchimp. This enables you to easily drag and drop products into your emails and power product recommendation features. - **Order Data:** Customer purchase history is sent to Mailchimp, allowing for advanced segmentation based on buying behavior (e.g., last purchase date, specific product purchased, VIP customers). This data is crucial for abandoned cart automations and tracking campaign revenue. **Mailchimp to Shopify:** - **Promo Codes:** Mailchimp can generate and sync unique promo codes within Shopify, which can then be used in campaigns to incentivize purchases. - **Tracking:** The integration adds a tracking script to your Shopify store, enabling Mailchimp to monitor site activity and trigger automations based on page views or cart additions.
