Leverage extensive marketing and eCommerce capabilities to make informed business decisions and build your marketing campaigns on solid ground

When you connect your X-Cart account with Mailchimp, you can sync your eCommerce and marketing data to the Mailchimp audience of your choosing. Send targeted campaigns and set up automations based on extensive customer data, like their preferences based on their purchase history, order frequency, and average spend value.

What does it do?

Here are some popular ways to use this integration.

Advanced email automation capabilities

  • Set up emails or series of emails to send to your customers as soon as they take particular actions in your store, i.e. order or payment confirmation, shipping status, etc.

E-commerce data sync

  • Track your Mailchimp campaigns effectiveness by capturing customers' buying activity, and pass it all back to Mailchimp.
  • View order details, track conversions, and total sales on the Reports page in your Mailchimp account.
  • Use advanced segmentation based on your subscribers’ purchase activity.
  • Recommend products to your newsletter recipients automatically through Mailchimp based on your customer data. Every recipient will see a set of products that they are more likely to be interested in.

Subscription form on checkout and signup page

  • Allow your customers to subscribe to one or several mailing lists. A subscription confirmation email sends out to new subscribers in order to confirm that they want to subscribe. It contains the confirmation link.

Re-engage shoppers

  • Send automated emails to follow up on their recent activity, remind them if they abandoned their cart or send a coupon for their next purchases to increase customer loyalty and improve sales numbers.

FAQ

Are any of my automations retroactive?
No. You must add any contacts/customers manually to any existing automation (for those that may have purchased/paid before the automation started) rather than starting a new automation. The automation should capture anyone that meets the criteria after the publish date.

If I install the Mailchimp add-on for X-Cart, do I still have to sign up for a Mailchimp account?
Yes, you will need a valid Mailchimp account to use it with X-Cart and vice versa.

Will the sync create double contacts?
Email addresses are how we identify contacts. Therefore, if you have one person with multiple email addresses, we will sync over all emails as individual contacts.

Can I manage contacts and lists in my X-Cart admin backend?
No. After the initial add-on setup, all subscription management is performed via the Mailchimp back-end, where you can create campaigns, send newsletters, etc.
