Mailchimp Transactional Demo

Mailchimp Transactional is a powerful delivery API service by Mailchimp that allows you to send e-commerce notifications and automated transactional email and SMS messages. Use the Mailchimp Transactional demo to try out the transactional API or SMTP with certain limitations.

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