I want to buy a licence but not sure if it works with e-commerce v3.0. A friend of mine have your extension Mailchimp says alway “Requires an e-commerce v3.0 integration” when you want to add Automations. So i ‘m bit confused before buying the the extension.

Thanks

Great article, but you might want to note that the Automation feature is not available on free MailChimp accounts, only paid ones. With the free account, the only automated email is available is a welcome email that goes out after someone confirms their subscription to your list, and you have to make sure the option for that is checked off.

Campaign Monitor does not have as robust eCommerce tracking or automation tools, but it’s certainly something we’d like to offer in the future.

Glad to hear it!

Sounds like you have everything configured properly!

If you haven’t already, I would encourage you to also enable the Google Analytics campaign tracking in MailChimp so that MailChimp includes campaign parameters on all URLs. That way you can view reports both in Google Analytics and MailChimp to get the best overview.

Thanks so much for this, I used it as inspiration to finally put together my first email course. I have eCommerce 360 link tracking enabled on the settings for my automation workflow, is there anything else I need to do to ensure that EDD sales are being recorded as such (I am using the MailChimp extension) in MailChimp?

If so, that’s some automagic goodness, just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing out on a setting I had to set up either in MailChimp or EDD MailChimp to make sure conversions from my automation workflow are being recorded properly. The article outlines how to use the eCommerce 360 API to trigger a workflow after a purchase, but I’m working the other way around and want to use an automation workflow to trigger a sale. Thanks!
