I want to sell a 7 day ecourse and I currently use Mailchimp, but I'm not sure how to do it.



I seem to have only questions but no answers!...



Can I do this through ejunkie only, or is it best to do this using mailchimp?



I already have integration set up so that everyone who currently buys a product is added to my list - do I need to change my integration set up? Can you have more than one integration connection (ie a general one, and product specific ones)



Should I be creating a whole new list in MC, or can I create a new group within the list that ejunkie is already adding to?



What are the ACTUAL steps i need to do to make this work.. I can't seem to find a solution anywhere and Mailchimp support aren't too familiar with the ejunkie side of things so I'm a bit stuck.



Any help would be hugely appreciated!

thanks

Our mass-email service is fairly limited, and we have no way to schedule periodic mailings, so you would probably want to handle the actual ecourse mailings via a third-party mailing list specialist such as MailChimp or GetResponse:

We just transmit the full order details to whatever URL you provide for your mailing list service, so what they do with that data is handled entirely at their end; we have no control or insight over that. This help page documents the data variables they will receive from us:

We are not familiar with the capabilities of their system or how it works, so we can't tell you how to set things up at their end. Offhand, I would guess that you may need to create a separate list and have your ecourse buyers added to that specific list. You may need to use a particular subscription URL for that list, or they may have some way of looking at the item name or number in the order data and assigning the buyer to a list on that basis.



You can combine a general integration for all sales with product-specific integrations. The URL you enter in Seller Admin > Account Preferences > Common Notification URL would receive the order data for every order, regardless of which item(s) the buyer purchased. The URL you enter as the Payment Variable Information URL in a specific product's settings (for products that have "Send transaction data to a URL" enabled) would only receive the order data when that particular item is purchased.
