In this video we're going to be connecting
WooCommerce to MailChimp.
This will basically add a little opt-in box to your checkout
they can join your newsletter
when they're placing their order.
So, let's take a look.
(calming piano music)
Hello, it's Alex here from WPEagle.
Thanks for watching.
So in this video we're going to be
connecting WooCommerce to MailChimp.
We're going to use a simple plugin to do this
and it will enable us to collect the email addresses
from our customers when they place their orders
via the checkout.
It's a nice little opt-in box so it's all compliant and that
with CAN-SPAM and spam laws and all of that sort of stuff.
It's really easy to set-up so let's get on the computer
and get it done.
Okay, so I'm over at the site
that we're going to be setting up with MailChimp.
It's a WooCommerce site, obviously,
(chuckles) otherwise it wouldn't work
and so what were going to do is hook it up
so that when people checkout
they're able to opt-in to our newsletter basically,
and onto our MailChimp list.
So in another tab I've logged into MailChimp.
The first thing I'm going to do
is actually is create a new list.
So let's go into Lists
and then click Create List,
oh wait,
and Create List
and call it Website Customers
and then I still need to fill in all this stuff.
Here we go.
So you may already have a list set-up
which is obviously fine, all that is good.
Click...
Don't actually need that, because we'll know
because it'll be all of us and that's fine.
So we got a brand new list, so that's great.
That's what we're going to put our customers into.
So if I go back to the website, I'm already logged in,
I'm gonna go to the Dashboard
and then Plug-ins and Add New.
The plug-in we're going to be using is a free plug-in.
Then you type in here WooCommerce
MailChimp,
and it's this one here that comes up first.
Click Install Now.
That's just gonna install, it's done,
and then we'll click Activate
and that should be done.
So now if we go into WooCommerce and Settings,
there's a new tab over here called MailChimp.
So let's have a look in there.
What we need first is our MailChimp API key
so back into MailChimp,
and then we need to go up here into Profile,
and I believe it's an Extras.
That was a good guess, yep, API keys
and then, here is my key here.
I've already created one,
so if you haven't got one
you need to click create a key there.
I'm just going to copy this
and go back to the website, paste it in
and it's going to do some stuff.
Then it's connected, a little tick, that's great.
Then we select the list
which is what I just created, so, Website Customers,
and you can enable Double Opt-In if you want.
So we can subscribe customers automatically
or we can ask for permission.
Now I think Ask for Permission
is probably the best way to do it
if you want to keep everything kind of aboveboard,
and so that customers know what's going on,
but you might not want to.
You might just want to put them all in
and if they don't like it
they can always unsubscribe, can't they?
But I'll leave it for Ask for Permission right now
so we can have a look at the checkbox.
Then we can decide where you want the checkbox.
So let's just click Save Changes.
Then if we go to the website and have a look
and go for the checkout we should see the new tick box.
So here's my checkout.
Let's go to the checkout.
That's my basket, sorry, let's go to checkout.
Okay, so here we go.
If we scroll down, right down at the bottom here
we've got a Subscribe to our Newsletter tick box,
which is ticked by default, which is good.
So that's it, that's it, we're done.
So now if anyone places an order
and obviously if they leave that ticked,
if they untick it they won't,
but if they leave it ticked,
they will be added to our MailChimp.
So that's it, easy as that.
