Transactional Email Demo

Use the Transactional Email demo to try out the Transactional API or SMTP with certain limitations.

What's included

Normally, Mailchimp Transactional Email is offered only as a paid add-on to a Mailchimp Standard or higher account. With the demo, you can try Mailchimp Transactional without having to upgrade your Mailchimp account or buy transactional email blocks.

Additionally, for a limited time, if you’re on a free plan and you activate the Mailchimp Transactional demo, you can access Mailchimp’s email and chat support for 30 days after you activate your demo.

Note that the 30 days of free support end if you close your Mailchimp account.

Customers using a paid Mailchimp account receive email and chat support included with their plan.

• Have an active Mailchimp account - The account can be free or paid, but cannot be paused or have a compliance hold.
