Integrate a payment solution with Mailchimp?

Hi Gerdski,

Will this payment be a one-time payment or a recurring thing (like a subscription)?

Hi Danny,

I think a recurring payment / subscription is what we need.

Thanks!

Hi Gerdski,

There are various ways to go about this, each with their own pro’s and con’s depending on your use case and requirements…

Use our e-commerce integration

Our Premium plugin comes with e-commerce integration that lets you send your WooCommerce orders to MailChimp.

You can then use this data to segment your list into two groups.

– Customer that purchased product X (in the last year)
– Customer that purchased product Y
– Customers that not pu…. etc.

Here’s some more info: https://mc4wp.com/kb/what-is-ecommerce360/

Use our MailChimp User Sync add-on

Our MailChimp User Sync add-on allows you to synchronize your WordPress userbase with a selected MailChimp list.

This allows you to synchronize your users, optionally sending more data like their user role or something custom based on what they purchased (you’ll need code for the last part).

This’ll probably work well with some of the available memberships plugin out there.

Use WooCommerce subscriptions

Our plugin already allows you to subscribe people to your MailChimp list during WooCommerce checkout.

Then, you can hook into their “subscription activated” and “subscription stopped” hooks to modify or delete the subscriber from MailChimp whenever that happens. This will again need custom code.

I hope this helps you get going. The first option is plug & play, but requires a little more set-up if you want to use subscriptions that can be cancelled etc.

Hello Danny!

Thank you for the good information.

Yes, we’d like to set up different mailing lists, at least two:

1.) Customers who have paid (for something) via WooCommerce.
and
2.) Customers who didn’t.

One can become a Customer “1” if they paid for a virtual WooCommerce Product, which is (nothing but) a subscription.

Is it right that MailChimp can then detect who has paid and add them to the list of premium newsletter recipients (Customers “1”)?

If yes: Great! MailChimp is what we need.

We must find a payment provider now (for Germany) who can handle subscriptions and integrate with WooCommerce…but that should not be the problem of MailChimp…as long as it gets the message “paid” from WooCommerce. Am I right?

Thanks a lot, ??

Hello Danny,

sorry for the late reply, due to holidays and decision times :-/

I think we will go for a WooCommerce-MailChimp-System with the WooCommerce Subscriptions AddOn and PayPal Subscriptions. (https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-subscriptions/)

So, of the three Options you mentioned in your answer, the third option “Use WooCommerce subscriptions” is obviously the only one we can use (am I right here?).

Can you tell me some more about the Integration of WooCommerce Subscriptions with MailChimp?

Thanks a lot,
Gerdski
