New Mailchimp Integration

[E-junkie_Monster]

Hi everyone! We're glad to announce that we've re-established our integration with Mailchimp due to popular demand.

We're now able to connect with their API to deliver buyer information to your Mailchimp email lists automatically, and this will respect the opt-in checkboxes we've added to our system for GDPR compliance. That means only the buyers who want to be added to your mailing list will be passed on to Mailchimp so that you don't have to screen them again later.

Please see our help page here for the new method of connecting with Mailchimp's system:

Integrate E-junkie with Mailchimp

As noted above, our new MailChimp integration will only submit buyers to MC who have deliberately ticked the opt-in checkbox to subscribe to your newsletter. For direct card payments, we provide this opt-in box on our card checkout screen.

However, for buyers who go through PayPal checkout, we can currently only provide this opt-in box after checkout on our new thank-you/download pages. To check whether our new thank-you pages are enabled for your account (and enable them if not), sign into Seller Admin and click Try New Features in the top header.

We've had a few suggestions to put the opt-in box in our shopping cart before checkout, which seems like a good idea, so Development will be taking that into consideration while they are currently working on the next major revision to our cart.
