Introduction
Integrating your WooCommerce
store with Mailchimp is one of the best decisions you can make to enhance your
e-commerce marketing and get more sales. By connecting these two powerful
platforms, you get the benefit of synchronizing all your customer data into one
central database for better segmentation and targeting.
Mailchimp's excellent automation
tools can then take that synced WooCommerce data and turn it into highly
personalized campaigns to recover abandoned carts, onboard new customers, upsell
existing ones, and much more.
The end result is that
integrating WooCommerce with Mailchimp gives you unprecedented ability to drive
more traffic, increase conversion rates, boost order values, and streamline
your marketing efforts. This guide will walk through everything you need to
know to connect your WooCommerce store and Mailchimp account for seamless
integration in around 15 minutes.
We'll cover the impressive
benefits of combining these platforms, step-by-step connection instructions,
syncing data, automation capabilities, advanced customizations,
troubleshooting, and more. Whether you're just starting out with WooCommerce
and Mailchimp or looking to improve an existing integration, this guide has you
covered!
So let's dive in and get your
WooCommerce store connected with Mailchimp to supercharge your e-commerce
marketing and sales!
Benefits of Integrating WooCommerce and Mailchimp
Integrating your WooCommerce
store with your Mailchimp account provides a number of valuable benefits for
your marketing and overall e-commerce business. Here are some of the top
advantages:
Centralized Customer Data
One of the biggest perks of
connecting WooCommerce and Mailchimp is that it gives you a single centralized
database of all your customer information and activity.
With each platform running
separately, customer data can become fragmented and inconsistent across
systems. Integrating WooCommerce with Mailchimp syncs all your customer
information - like names, contact details, order history, lifetime value,
interests, and more - to one place in your Mailchimp audience dashboard.
Having all customer data in
Mailchimp makes segmentation and targeting much simpler. You can create
highly-personalized automations and campaigns based on detailed customer
profiles rather than incomplete data stored in multiple places.
Centralized data also makes it
easy to track key metrics across customers, like average order value and
lifetime spend. With a connected WooCommerce and Mailchimp, you have the full
profile of each customer's engagement with your brand across channels in one
spot.
Targeted Marketing Campaigns
Once your WooCommerce customer
data is synchronized into Mailchimp audiences, you gain the ability to segment
contacts and create extremely targeted marketing campaigns.
For example, you can:
- **Send abandoned cart
reminders** to customers who added items to their cart but did not complete
checkout.
- **Welcome new customers** with
a customized email series when they make their first purchase.
- **Promote best sellers** to
current customers who have not yet purchased your most popular products.
- **Reward VIPs** who spend over
a certain amount annually with exclusive offers.
- **Re-engage lapsed customers**
who have not made a purchase within the past 120 days with a coupon.
And much more! Since Mailchimp
has the full details of each customer's interactions with your WooCommerce
store, the possibilities for targeted campaigns are endless.
The ability to precisely segment
and target customers based on purchase history and behaviors is extremely
powerful for increasing repeat sales and lifetime value.
Abandoned Cart Recovery
One of the best examples of
targeted automations you can set up is automated abandoned cart emails.
Research shows that over 65% of
online shopping carts are ultimately abandoned before completing a purchase.
That represents a massive missed revenue opportunity for any store.
With WooCommerce and Mailchimp
integrated, the platform can automatically monitor for carts left incomplete.
If a customer adds items to their cart but does not check out within a period
of time you specify, Mailchimp will automatically trigger an abandoned cart
email.
This email reminds the customer
of the items they left behind and prompts them to complete the checkout
process. These automated abandon cart emails typically see conversion rates of
10-15%, winning back a ton of sales you would have otherwise lost.
Automated Post-Purchase Follow Up
In addition to pre-purchase
automations like abandoned cart emails, syncing your WooCommerce store to
Mailchimp also allows automated post-purchase follow-ups.
Examples of post-purchase
automations you could set up include:
- A **welcome series** with tips
for new customers after their first purchase.
- A **review request** 30 days
after a purchase asking for a product review.
- A **replenishment email** when
it's time to reorder based on frequency and past purchase dates.
- A **cross-sell recommendation**
showcasing complementary products purchased by similar customers.
Automating these types of
follow-ups provides immense value by improving customer satisfaction,
stimulating repeat purchases, and increasing lifetime value. But they require
data connectivity between your store and email platform to automatically
trigger based on purchase activity.
Detailed Analytics
The last major benefit of
integrating your WooCommerce store with Mailchimp is the ability to view detailed
e-commerce analytics and reporting right within your Mailchimp dashboard.
With WooCommerce data synced to
Mailchimp audiences, you can track key e-commerce metrics like:
- Sales and revenue generated
from your marketing campaigns
- Conversion rates across
different segments and campaigns
- Growth rates over time
- Customer lifetime value and
repurchase rates
- Top selling products
This eliminates the need to
manually export and analyze data from your WooCommerce store. With connected
reporting, you have full visibility into the hard metrics and ROI of your
marketing with just a few clicks in Mailchimp.
Having centralized data and
integrated analytics provides a holistic view of your customer journey and
business in one place. That makes it easy to see what's working so you can
double down on the most effective marketing activities.
How to Connect WooCommerce and Mailchimp
Now that you know all the ways
integrating WooCommerce and Mailchimp can benefit your business, let's get into
how to actually connect them!
The process is straightforward
and only takes about 15 minutes start to finish. There are three key steps:
1. Installing the Mailchimp for
WooCommerce plugin
2. Configuring the plugin
settings
3. Connecting your Mailchimp and
WooCommerce accounts
Let's look at each step:
Installing the Mailchimp for WooCommerce Plugin
To integrate your WooCommerce
store with Mailchimp, you need to first install the official Mailchimp for
WooCommerce plugin.
This free plugin is created by
Mailchimp specifically to connect WooCommerce stores to Mailchimp audiences for
easy syncing.
To install it:
1. Login to your WordPress admin
for your WooCommerce store.
2. Go to **Plugins > Add New**
in the sidebar.
3. In the search bar, type in
**"Mailchimp for Woocommerce"** and hit enter.
4. The official Mailchimp plugin
should appear as the first result. Click the **Install** button.
5. Once it finishes installing,
click **Activate**.
That's it! The plugin is now
uploaded and activated in your WooCommerce store.
Next you'll want to configure it
to connect sync to the appropriate Mailchimp audience.
Configuring the Mailchimp for WooCommerce Plugin
After installing the Mailchimp
plugin, the next step is choosing your audience sync settings within the
plugin.
To configure:
1. Go to **WooCommerce >
Settings** in your WordPress admin sidebar.
2. Click on the **Mailchimp** tab
that now appears.
3. Review the on-screen
directions and choose the desired options:
- Opt-in checkbox default
- Account activity notifications
- Select your Mailchimp audience to sync
with
- Specify category or product sync
preferences
4. No need to update advanced
settings for now. Defaults are fine.
5. Click **Save** to apply your
configuration selections.
Those are the key settings to
review in order to customize what data is synced and how it is handled within
Mailchimp.
Now your WooCommerce store is
configured - the last step is officially connecting it to your Mailchimp
account.
Connecting Your Mailchimp and WooCommerce Accounts
The final step to complete the
integration is connecting your WooCommerce store to your Mailchimp account.
This allows the two platforms to
start securely passing data back and forth.
To complete the account
connection:
1. Go back to the Mailchimp
settings tab in your WooCommerce dashboard.
2. Scroll down to the **Account**
section.
3. Enter your **Mailchimp API
key** when prompted. You can find your API key under your profile settings in
Mailchimp.
4. Click the **Connect** button.
5. A popup will ask you to grant
permission to allow Mailchimp access to your store - click **Allow**.
That's it! WooCommerce will now
handshake with Mailchimp and start syncing your store data to the configured
audience.
Within a few minutes you'll start
to see your products, customers, and order data flowing into Mailchimp.
Congrats - your accounts are connected!
Now let's look at exactly what
data gets synchronized and how it all works...
Syncing WooCommerce Data with Mailchimp
One of the biggest advantages of
integrating your WooCommerce store with Mailchimp is the ability to synchronize
key store data.
This includes product catalogs,
customer profiles, order details, revenue and more. Having this data in
Mailchimp allows for much more powerful marketing automation and analysis.
Here's an overview of how data
syncing works with a connected WooCommerce and Mailchimp:
Products
All products you add or edit in
your WooCommerce store can by synced to Mailchimp.
This includes details like:
- Product name and description
- Categories and tags
- Variants like size and color
- Pricing and sales price
- Inventory status
- Images
Syncing product data allows you
to market items, track e-commerce analytics, and report on sales directly in
Mailchimp.
You have full control over which
products are synced. By default all are, but you can limit syncing to certain
product categories if desired.
Any changes made to products in
WooCommerce are automatically pushed to Mailchimp within an hour or so to keep
data consistent. New products are also added to Mailchimp upon creation in
WooCommerce.
Orders
As customers checkout on your
WooCommerce store and complete purchases, all their order data is synced to
Mailchimp in near real-time.
Order specifics transmitted
include:
- Contact details like name and
email
- Order number
- Date/time of purchase
- SKUs purchased and quantity
- Product details like title,
price, etc
- Order total value
- Payment method
- Shipping method
- Whether the customer is new or
returning
Having access to order data in
Mailchimp is tremendously valuable for segmentation and automations. For
example, you can create automations like:
"Send follow-up email to new
customers who purchased over $50 in their first order"
Or
"Send SMS to customers who
purchased yoga mat 1 week ago reminding them to write a review"
Order data passes from
WooCommerce to Mailchimp within an hour, keeping your customer records current.
Customers
The most important syncing that
occurs is customer profiles.
When a user creates an account or
completes a guest checkout on your WooCommerce store, their contact details are
synced to Mailchimp so you can market to them.
The customer data passed
includes:
- Name
- Email address
- Phone number
- Total order value
- Date of first purchase
- Date of last purchase
- Order history and products
purchased
- Shipping address
- Opt-in status and subscription
details
This customer record combined
with order history makes it easy to segment and re-engage shoppers through
timely, relevant campaigns.
As customers update their
details, purchase again, or opt-out on your WooCommerce store, all changes are
synced to Mailchimp to keep profiles up-to-date.
Automating Marketing with Mailchimp
Now that all your customer data
is being synchronized from your WooCommerce store into Mailchimp, it unlocks
the ability to automate highly targeted marketing campaigns.
Here are some of the most
powerful examples of marketing automation you can set up:
Abandoned Carts
We covered this earlier, but
abandoned cart automation is one of the fastest ways to increase revenue from
any store.
To set it up:
1. Make sure your WooCommerce
store and Mailchimp are connected.
2. In Mailchimp, go to
**Automations** and click **Create an Automation**.
3. Choose **Abandoned Cart** as
the workflow.
4. Name your automation something
like "Abandoned Cart Recovery".
5. Set the trigger to "Carts
abandoned for 1 hour".
6. Add an email action to send a
reminder about their cart.
7. Customize the template with
product images, copy reminding them of the discount, and a clear
call-to-action.
Once activated, this automated
email will fire for any shopper who leaves items unset in their cart for more
than an hour. The email nudge could increase conversion rates by 10% or more.
Welcome Emails
Welcome emails are a great way to
get new e-commerce customers engaged with your brand.
To automate them:
1. Create a new automation like
before.
2. Set the trigger to "New
subscriber".
3. Add an email action and choose
a template design.
4. Customize the copy and add
relevant product recommendations or special offers for subscribers.
Now anytime someone subscribes or
makes their first purchase, they'll receive a friendly welcome message. This
builds the relationship and starts them down the path of becoming an e-commerce
superfan!
Segmenting Customers
One of the most powerful
capabilities from integrating your WooCommerce store with Mailchimp is the
ability to segment customers for hyper-targeted campaigns.
For example, you can create
segments like:
- Purchased yoga mat but not
block
- Abandoned cart in last 30 days
- Hasn't purchased in 60+ days
- Highest lifetime value
customers
Then target campaigns just to
those segments.
To set it up:
1. In Mailchimp, click
**Audience** > **Create Segment**.
2. Choose options like
"Purchased Product" or "Purchase Activity" to filter.
3. Name the segment something
descriptive.
4. Click **Save**.
Now you can send emails, offer
coupons, or advertise specifically to that audience based on their purchase
behavior!
Customer Re-Engagement
Lapsed customers or those at risk
of churning are perfect for re-engagement campaigns.
You can create automations like:
- Email customers who haven't
purchased in 60+ days with a 15% off coupon code.
- Target customers whose purchase
frequency has decreased over last 3 months with reminder of best-selling items.
- Reach out to expired members
with a renewal offer.
The key is using Mailchimp's
automation tools to identify at-risk or inactive customers based on WooCommerce
data and then crafting campaigns to win them back.
Reviews and Surveys
Finally, don't forget about
post-purchase automations like review requests and surveys.
For example:
- Ask for a product review 30
days after a 5-star purchase.
- Send a 2-question satisfaction
survey 7 days after the first purchase.
- Request photo/video
testimonials of customers using your products.
This customer feedback helps
improve future purchases and provides social proof. But you need your
WooCommerce data in Mailchimp to trigger automations based on order details.
With some thoughtful strategy,
the marketing possibilities are endless by connecting your store with
Mailchimp. The key is letting customer behaviors and purchase data determine
how and when you engage contacts.
Advanced Integrations and Customizations
We've covered the basics of
setting up the WooCommerce and Mailchimp integration. But there are also a
number of advanced features and customizations possible as well:
Enhanced data syncing
While order data syncs
automatically, you can use Zapier to connect WooCommerce with Mailchimp for
even deeper data sharing. For example, syncing product reviews, detailed
traffic source data, custom order meta fields, and more.
Two-way syncing
The WooCommerce Mailchimp
integration focuses on sharing data from WooCommerce into Mailchimp. But you
can set up two-way syncing using Zapier so that data entered in Mailchimp flows
back to update WooCommerce.
For example, syncing a customer's
preference center choices regarding SMS vs email back to their WooCommerce user
profile. Or updating a subscriber's contact info in Mailchimp and having it
sync back to update their core customer record in WooCommerce.
Advanced segmentation
While the plugin allows for basic
customer segmentation in Mailchimp using data like order history and purchase
frequency, you can leverage tools like Omnisend or Customer.io to build even
more complex workflows and lifecycle campaigns.
For example, creating a series
that sends reminder emails at 30, 15, and 7 days prior to a customer's
membership expiration date. Or an automated flow sending tailored product
recommendations based on previous purchase data and on-site behavior.
Custom field mapping
Mailchimp lets you create custom
fields to track additional data points. You can use Zapier to map specific
WooCommerce order fields into custom Mailchimp fields for a tailored sync.
For instance, pulling the UTM
campaign tracking code from the WooCommerce order and syncing it to a custom
Mailchimp field for deeper reporting. Or syncing order notes into a Mailchimp
field so agents have key context from a customer's purchase.
Enhanced analytics
While Mailchimp provides robust
e-commerce reports onsynced data, connecting Google Analytics as well can help
track micro-conversions and on-site engagement tied to your email campaigns.
Tools like Omnisend and Klaviyo
also have powerful analytics on the impact of your email and automation
strategies with deep integration into platforms like WooCommerce.
Cart recovery apps
There are many great dedicated
cart abandonment tools beyond Mailchimp automation, like CartStack and
Retainful. Integrating with apps like these provide advanced features for
recovering more revenue from abandoned checkouts.
CRM integrations
Syncing your connected
WooCommerce and Mailchimp data with CRMs like HubSpot and Salesforce allows
sales teams to leverage e-commerce interactions for personal outreach. CRM
workflows can also pass data back to update your Mailchimp audience.
For example, when a customer
makes a high value purchase, a Zap could share their order data with your CRM.
This triggers an automated CRM task for your sales rep to call the customer and
discuss additional needs.
Cross-channel attribution
You can enrich your Mailchimp
e-commerce data with platforms like Facebook Pixel and Google Ads to identify
which marketing channels are driving online sales.
This allows you to optimize
spending and double down on the most effective efforts based on a cross-channel
view of attribution.
Automations based on on-site behavior
Extensions like Privy can track
customer behaviors on your WooCommerce site and then use that to trigger
Mailchimp automations.
For example, targeting customers
who frequently view certain product pages with an automated abandoned browse
email when they leave the site. Or triggering automations when a customer
engages with on-site polls or quizzes.
WooCommerce subscription sync
The core WooCommerce Mailchimp
integration focuses mostly on store transactions. But you can use Zapier to
sync subscription data from any WooCommerce subscriptions or memberships you
sell.
This allows creating mailings
targeted specifically at active subscribers, expired members, and more based on
subscription status.
Mailchimp landing page forms
Using Mailchimp's landing page
builder, you can publish WooCommerce-specific landing pages with embedded forms
to capture e-commerce leads.
For example, create a niche
product launch page and lead capture form. Sync those Mailchimp leads back to
your CRM for sales staff to nurture.
Mailchimp purchase widgets
You can embed Mailchimp purchase
widgets on your WooCommerce product pages to capture subscriber data at
checkout.
This allows immediate access to
new purchasers for post-purchase automations vs waiting for data sync.
WooCommerce transactional emails
Transactional messages like
receipts and shipping confirmations are normally handled directly within
WooCommerce.
But you can connect WooCommerce
transactional emails to Mailchimp using webhooks for additional tracking and
analytics.
For example, when an order
receipt email is triggered, ping Mailchimp via API to record event data like
order details, customer info, and email metadata.
This allows greater visibility
into full customer lifecycle engagement from your WooCommerce activity.
Mailchimp email personalization
Leverage sync'd customer data
from WooCommerce to personalized your Mailchimp emails at scale.
For example, dynamically populate
first name, order history, product recommendations, and other details in email
templates for each subscriber.
Tools like Privy can pull
WooCommerce data to customize Privy popups and website messaging.
WooCommerce loyalty programs
Integrations with apps like
LoyaltyLion allow you to track e-commerce purchases and activity in Mailchimp
and then sync point balances back to WooCommerce for redemption.
This enables creating customized
loyalty and VIP programs for WooCommerce powered by Mailchimp automation.
Cross-network retargeting
Remarketing tools like Perfect
Audience and AdRoll make it easy to create retargeting ads on networks like
Facebook and Instagram aimed at website visitors who interacted or purchased
with your WooCommerce store.
This allows tailoring dynamic ads
to site visitors based on their on-site behavior.
Mailchimp audience sharing
Sync'd e-commerce audiences in
Mailchimp can be shared with select marketing partners to enable partnerships,
influencer efforts, and broader reach.
Just be sure to honor subscriber
preferences and clearly communicate how shared data will be used.
WooCommerce subscription management
Leverage addons like WooCommerce
Subscriptions Scheduler to set up automated subscription renewals, upgrades,
and cancellations triggered by Mailchimp workflows.
This adds huge convenience for
managing recurring orders, maximizing renewals, and reducing churn.
Customer win-back campaigns
Create Mailchimp segments for
at-risk or cancelled WooCommerce subscribers. Then set up targeted win-back
automations with special incentives to reactivate them.
Win-back campaigns for e-commerce
subscriptions can generate significant recurring revenue.
Upsell flows
Use connected customer data to
identify prime upsell opportunities, like customers who purchased a premium
plugin but not the extended support plan.
Create upsell automations with
relevant offers to increase order values.
VIP rewards
Offer exclusive rewards and
discounts to high-value customers when they reach certain lifetime spend
milestones, purchase frequently, or advocate for your brand.
Birthday and anniversary automations
Trigger automated birthday and
WooCommerce anniversary emails and coupons based on customer data in Mailchimp.
This builds relationship and
often results in repeat purchases.
New feature announcements
Notify customers who previously
purchased related products when new offerings go live that align with their
purchase history and interests.
Loyalty badges and tiers
Segment customers in Mailchimp
based on WooCommerce purchase volume and assign special loyalty badges or VIP
tiers to make customers feel valued. Offer perks based on their status.
Special cross-sells
Create hyper-targeted cross-sell
offers, like emailing customers who purchased two specific cookbooks a promo
for a third companion cookbook.
Cart-specific promotions
Dynamically trigger coupons or
special offers tailored to the actual products a customer has added to their
cart by leveraging live cart data.
Social proof notifications
Alert customers who are checking
out with messaging like "5 other customers purchased this in the last 2
hours". Social proof urgency tactics help drive faster conversions.
Wishlist marketing
Create automations around
products customers have added to their wishlist to turn saved items into
purchased orders with timely messaging and offers.
Next purchase incentives
Reward customers completing a
purchase with a compelling offer or bonus for their next purchase within a set
timeframe. This motivates quicker repeat orders.
Product onboarding sequences
Send new customers who purchased
complex or multi-part products an automated onboarding sequence with tips for
getting the most value from your offering.
Usage-based promotions
For consumable subscriptions,
offer timely reorders when recurring deliveries are running low based on
average volume. Or trigger cross-sells of complementary add-ons.
Delivery updates
Notify customers of shipping and
delivery updates, like expected arrival dates and carrier tracking links, via
automated workflows.
Limited-time promotions
Offer time-bound deals that
encourage quick purchases from engaged subscribers. The urgency of expiring
discounts drives higher response.
Product launches and pre-orders
Share new product announcements
and offer pre-order opportunities to purchase before stock runs out. Early
access builds excitement.
Feature releases
Notify customers who use or
previously purchased related products when a major new feature is added.
Outline the benefits gained with the upgrade.
Reviews and testimonials
Follow up post-purchase to
collect product reviews, star ratings, and video testimonials to build social
proof and organic visibility.
Renewal reminders
Message customers ahead of their
membership or subscription renewal date to maximize retention and prevent
involuntary churn.
Replenishment timing
Suggest timely reorders of
consumable or replacement products based on average duration between purchases.
Proactively keep the customer stocked up.
Subscription add-ons
Upsell existing subscribers with
offers for premium add-ons that enhance the core subscription they already use
and love.
High-affinity bundles
Create and market bundled offers
combining products that are commonly purchased together by segment.
Partnership promotions
Work with marketing partners to
craft joint promotions and incentives for each other's audiences, increasing
reach.
Influencer collaborations
Send relevant customers targeted
offers from influencers relevant to their purchases and interests for more
authentic partnerships.
Customer polls and feedback
Engage customers by asking for
quick feedback on product ideas, feature requests, or ways to improve via user
polls and surveys. Apply insights.
Account alerts
Keep customers informed on key
account activity like password resets, address changes, payment updates, etc.
Win-back incentives
Tempt inactive customers to
purchase again after a period of dormancy with special comeback discounts and
promotions reserved just for them.
Live event promotions
Share discount codes and
limited-time offers to customers in the region where you are hosting a local
conference, roadshow, or pop-up shop.
Content libraries
Give customers access to gated
libraries of helpful content related to their purchase like video tutorials,
template packs, or masterclasses.
Triggered messages
Use on-site behavior like
frequent reviews visits or multiple cart adds to trigger timely one-to-one
messages.
When WooCommerce and Mailchimp
integrate fully, the possibilities span far beyond basic data syncing. You gain
the power to drive highly personalized, relevant connections with customers at
scale based on purchase behaviors, interests, and real-time events. The result
is more repeat purchases, increased lifetime value, and overall sales growth
through automation.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
In most cases, integrating your
WooCommerce store with Mailchimp using the official plugin goes smoothly
without any hiccups. But there can occasionally be minor issues that come up
during setup or operation.
Here are some troubleshooting
tips for the most common challenges:
**Plugin conflicts** - If syncing
breaks or encounters errors, try disabling other plugins one at a time to check
for conflicts. Some SEO, security, or performance plugins can cause issues.
**Account connection errors** -
Double check that you entered the proper Mailchimp API key during setup. Also
confirm your Mailchimp user account has the appropriate permissions enabled.
**Initial sync delays** - For
larger stores, the first sync toMailchimp can take a while as data transfers. Be
patient and allow a few hours for the process depending on volume.
**Duplicated data** - If
duplicate customers or orders appear in Mailchimp, try reconnecting the
accounts. Choose the "Reset sync" option to avoid copies.
**Missing data** - Review your
connection settings and confirm all data points you want to sync are enabled
under plugin configuration. Adjust as needed.
**Intermittent sync failures** -
temporary internet or connectivity issues can sometimes disrupt syncs. Try
force re-syncing to pick back up where it left off once resolved.
**Slow performance** - Too many
connected apps or a resource-intensive theme can bog down background syncing.
Optimize site speed for improved reliability.
Don't hesitate to reach out to
the Mailchimp or WooCommerce support teams via live chat if any stubborn issues
come up. Their experts can help troubleshoot further. But in most cases minor
tweaks resolve any hiccups!
