Turn PayPal payments into marketing opportunities
Connect your PayPal business account to Mailchimp to seamlessly bridge the gap between your sales and marketing. This powerful, direct integration—built and supported by Mailchimp—automatically turns your PayPal payers into Mailchimp contacts. It's a simple way to build relationships with your customers, thank them for their business, and keep them engaged, all from one place.*
How it Works
The PayPal data integration helps you understand who your customers are and how they interact with your business. Once connected, you can use payment data to start building stronger, more personal connections.
Automatically Sync New Contacts
When a customer makes a payment through PayPal, contact details, including email address, name, and phone number are automatically added to your selected Mailchimp audience.
Segment with Precision
All synced contacts are automatically identified with "PayPal" as their source. Create segments for PayPal targeted campaigns, welcome series, or to simply understand what portion of your audience comes directly from PayPal.
Automate Your Follow-ups
Use Mailchimp's powerful automation tools to easily connect with new payers.** Set up an automated welcome email, send a thank-you message after payment, or deliver a digital receipt. Note: Sending marketing messages requires an additional customer opt-in.
