New WordPress Plugin: WooCommerce MailChimp

After a frustrating and fruitless search for a simple and free solution to basic WooCommerce integration with MailChimp, I decided to sit down and write a little plugin to do just that. There are a couple of paid solutions, but, in my opinion, most are overpriced for providing such vanilla functionality. Also, it seems this functionality was previously bundled with WooCommerce and WooThemes has since removed it and made it a paid “extension.”

So, without further ado, here is my new WooCommerce MailChimp plugin for WordPress:

WooCommerce MailChimp provides simple MailChimp integration for WooCommerce.

Easily add customers to a designated MailChimp list and, optionally, MailChimp interest groups upon order creation or order completion.

Double opt-in option for anti-spam compliance.

The plugin is now on the WordPress Plugin Repository and you can get it by clicking on the following link:

Usage

1. Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Integration > MailChimp
2. First, enable the plugin and set your MailChimp API Key and hit save.
3. Select whether you want customers subscribed to your MailChimp list after order creation or order completion (there’s a difference in WooCommerce).
4. Next, select your MailChimp list and set any interest group settings (optional) and hit save.
5. That’s it, now customers who purchase products from your WooCommerce store will automatically be subscribed to the selected list (and optional interest groups) in MailChimp!
