Step-by-step
How to Connect Your E-commerce Store to Mailchimp
Choose your integration
Go to Integrations and find your e-commerce platform: Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento, or others. Click 'Connect' and follow the platform-specific authorization flow.
Sync your store data
After connecting, Mailchimp syncs your product catalog, customer list, and purchase history. This process can take a few minutes for large stores. Verify the sync in Audience → E-commerce dashboard.
Enable e-commerce automations
Go to Automations and enable key e-commerce workflows: abandoned cart recovery, order confirmation, shipping notification, post-purchase follow-up, and product review requests.
Set up product recommendation blocks
In your email templates, add 'Product' content blocks that automatically show personalized product recommendations based on each customer's purchase history and browsing behavior.
