MailChimp parted ways with Shopify a short while back<\/a>. While each had their own set of reasons justifying the split, clients using these two services together are to be impacted in a major way. Mailchimp has provided a roadmap with a few different options that e-commerce store owners can opt for depending on the requirements of their ongoing and future marketing campaigns. However, before moving ahead with understanding how to get Mailchimp to work with Shopify, let us first take a look at what Mailchimp is and how it helps businesses.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mailchimp is an email automation tool used to send out marketing and transactional emails in bulk – so if you have a business that caters to consumers online, it\u2019s very likely you\u2019re using a service similar to Mailchimp, or better yet, Mailchimp itself for sending out notifications and offers to your customers via email. Mailchimp, now a public company, owns more than 60%<\/a> of the Email automation market, it is the go-to option for both brands and SMEs equally to start sending out emails for their online businesses. <\/p>\n

Shopify<\/a>, on the other hand, has a similar level of dominance in the E-Commerce software market and is the second most commonly used E-Commerce platform<\/a> after WooCommerce, with 800,000+ merchants on their platform and growing. Once Mailchimp for Shopify app was launched on Shopify apps store, it gave users ease to automate a lot of transactional and marketing emails further augmenting Mailchimp\u2019s adoption and user base. If you happen to be a user who used these two services together it\u2019s not the end of the world, there are many workarounds to keep Shopify and Mailchimp running together. We\u2019ll be exploring those options in this series.<\/p>\n

To be on the safer side, Mailchimp recommends that you integrate via a third party like ShopSync<\/a>, Automate.io<\/a>, Zapier<\/a>, etc. before, disconnecting Mailchimp from Shopify. Further, subsequent to the installation of the new integration, it is recommended that you pause all active automation to avoid sending duplicate emails to your customers once the new automations are set up.<\/p>\n
