Connect or Disconnect Mailchimp for PrestaShop

The Mailchimp module for PrestaShop adds your PrestaShop store customers and their order details to your Mailchimp audience. Use PrestaShop data to track sales, create targeted e-commerce campaigns, generate personalized product recommendations, and more.

In this article, you'll learn how to connect and disconnect Mailchimp for PrestaShop.

Before you start

• The Mailchimp module for PrestaShop works with all versions of PrestaShop 1.6.0.4 or higher, and requires a PHP version between 5.6 and 7.2.
• To view the e-commerce features supported by this integration, visit the PrestaShop listing in your account.
• Abandoned Cart automations are not compatible with guest checkouts in PrestaShop 2.0 or higher.
• To create a new audience when you connect to Mailchimp, your PrestaShop contact information must include a physical address.

How it works

When you connect your PrestaShop store to Mailchimp, we'll update your Mailchimp audience, or create a new audience, with each customer's email address, name, and order information. To create a new audience, your store contact information must include a physical address. We'll also generate a permission reminder for customers who opt in to receive your email marketing. To change the contact information or permission reminder for an audience after it's created, edit its required footer content in Mailchimp.

Customers who opt in to your audience at checkout are imported as subscribed contacts, while customers who choose not to receive marketing emails will appear as non-subscribed contacts. You'll collect more contacts as new people purchase from you, and future orders will sync automatically. New subscribers will follow the opt-in settings set for the connected audience. If you have double opt-in enabled, new subscribers will receive a confirmation email before being added.
