how to connect mailchimp to your shopify,store hey guys welcome back to the,youtube channel in this video i'm going,to be showing you how you can connect,your mailchimp account to your shopify,ecommerce store so let's get into it now,the first thing you're going to have to,do is you're going to have to first off,create your own mailchimp account and,create your own shopify account and for,this video to connect your mailchimp and,shopify accounts you're going to have to,have the administrative role or a owner,role on both of these platforms so you,can't connect them with only limited,roles you need to make sure that you are,either a owner or the administrator on,mailchimp so to get started with linking,our mailchimp account to our shopify,ecommerce store the first thing that,we're going to do is we are going to go,on to our mailchimp account so this is,going to be your mailchimp dashboard and,on your dashboard you're going to go on,to your left over here and you're going,to find integration so you're going to,find this integrations tab you're just,going to click on it and then you're,going to click on add new over here then,you can find different apps and,integrations on there marketplace and,you can see all the basic integrations,are present over here so if you scroll,down you're going to find ecommerce,integrations and within those ecommerce,integrations you're going to find,shopify if you can't find it like that,you can just type in the search bar you,can type in shopify and you can press,enter and then you're going to have,shopify over here so once you have,shopify over here you're just going to,click on shopify like that and after,that you're just going to click on,connect new site and then this is going,to open up your mailchimp shopify,account and you're going to click on add,app just like that and now you're going,to have to choose the shopify account so,i already have my account over here and,i'm going to just link that account or,you can log into a different account if,you want to connect your mailchimp to a,different shopify account but just like,that i'm going to click on over here and,now you can see over here that is going,to tell me that i'm able to install,mailchimp into my jane dose store and,then you can click on these various,categories to install the application so,you can see over here the first thing,mailchimp will be able to do is view my,shopify data edit customers so you can,see that this is one of the most,important elements is that mailchimp,will be able to determine what kind of,customers are what and then you have,your view products you have your view,order so they're going to be able to,view who is buying what and what kind of,orders are being fulfilled and then,you're just going to click on install,application over here just like that and,this is just going to,sync up your mailchimp email marketing,and your shopify store so after that,they give you a pre-installed checklist,and then you're just going to read that,out and you can continue and now you're,just going to click on connect over here,and then you're just going to have to,relog into your mailchimp account so i,will do that and i will get back to you,guys in a second so once you have done,that they are going to ask you if you,authorize mailchimp for shopify you're,just going to click on allow over here,and now mailchimp and shopify are going,to be integrated and now you can see,over here that your shopify store is,going to ask you what audience do you,want to sync up with your mailchimp,account so we want the jdo ink one and,then you're gonna see these tags over,here so you're going to add your,customer tags and i would recommend that,you make sure to add these so although,this is an optional category i like to,add like a specific kind of tag so i,like to add the vip tag,over here and you can also have a double,opt-in so you can turn off or on the,settings for jane doe inc changing this,will usually give you a,better opt-in setting on mailchimp but i,don't like to change this and then you,have your merge tags as well so any kind,of tags you want to merge or you can do,that as well but i'm going to skip that,but make sure you do enter your shopify,customer tags because this will really,help you segment your customer marketing,according to the customers that you have,now after that you're just going to,click on sync audience and then this is,going to be the third step so you have,your initial sync time and then you have,your automations and then you're just,going to continue to overview and in the,meanwhile your audiences are being seen,so you can see over here that your store,is in queue to start syncing at any,moment so it will just refresh and,automatically show me when it has been,completely synced in so this is how,simple and easy it is to integrate your,mailchimp email marketing into your,shopify ecommerce store so you can see,over here that our mailchimp and our,shopify store have been synced up so,over here we have our synced audience,the products the consumers order,subscribe transactional and unsubscribe,then you also have any kind of running,promo codes you can monitor from here,you can have your shopify customer tag,mapper and categorize different shopify,customers and then you also have your,double opt-ins over here so you can,change these as you go and customize,these according to your business and,according to the number of products your,customers that you currently have so i,only have added myself into my emailing,list that's why it's only one subscriber,but obviously you're going to have more,subscribers according to the people that,you've added into your mailchimp,audience so the more people you have in,your mailchimp audience the more people,are going to be able to send like,discount codes with uh for your,ecommerce store so you can send them,discount codes you can send them,newsletters whatever you might want and,you can also leave like a sign up form,on your shopify store so from your,shopify store you can go into home and,then you can leave a sign up form and,then using the sign up form you can,collect people's emails and then start,sending them emails via mailchimp and,now both of these are integrated you,really can automate this entire process,as well so these are some of the great,things about these online platforms is,that they're available online so you can,access them from anywhere you don't have,to download anything so the great part,about these platforms is that these are,available online so you don't have to,download mailchimp or you don't have to,download shopify to actually access your,entire ecommerce store or your entire,email marketing system and since these,are available online you can use them on,your desktop you can use these,applications on your phone as well so,you can really manage your entire,ecommerce store directly from your phone,you don't even need to have a laptop to,manage everything but all of this does,come with a price so shopify is not,available for free but mailchimp is so,you can create your ecommerce store with,another kind of ecommerce provider like,ecwid for free if you want to run like a,completely free setup for like both,mailchimp and your store but if you're,using shopify you're probably having to,pay for a premium so that is why i love,to use shopify and ecwid because they're,both available online although shopify,is a paid only kind of application,shopify is one of the greatest ecommerce,providers out there so that is why i do,think that using mailchimp for free and,using shopify's paid version is probably,the best combination that you're gonna,get in terms of marketing for email,marketing and in terms of e-commerce,stores so you can easily create your,store there are so many templates,available on shopify and it is easily,easily easily integrated with,applications like mailchimp and other,integrations that you want to add,they're all available on shopify or,mailchimp and you can easily sync up,everything and everything is so simply,and,easily compatible so to take a look at,the prices of both shopify and mailchimp,shopify starts at 29 per month and it,goes up to their advanced version,starting at 299,so there are different features and you,can go into detail over here and you can,see the different features like the,amount of stores you can create how many,products you can add how many staff,accounts you can create what are your,inventory locations all that good stuff,you can find the details over here and,for mailchimp they have a free version,that you can send over 2000 emails with,but if you exceed 2 000 emails you're,gonna have to upgrade to the essentials,version starting at 11 per month or the,standard version starting at 17 or the,premium starting at 299 so i do think,using a standard version in combination,with the shopify's basic version is,probably one of the best ways to run,your marketing your email marketing and,your ecommerce store they're easy to,integrate and they're pretty simple and,seamless when you're using them so i,hope you guys found this video
