DPD will pass your customer information to MailChimp using the MailChimp API.  This is a store level option, allowing you to create targeted lists for specific store profiles in your DPD account. 

To set up the integration, please do the following:

Please note: It would be beneficial to have both MailChimp and DPD open in two tabs or browser windows during the integration.  You'll need to copy and paste an API key from MailChimp to DPD to complete the integration process.

Step 1: MailChimp Setup

  1. Log in to your MailChimp Account
  2. From the MailChimp Account Menu in the top left corner, select API Keys & Authorized Apps
  3. If you have not already created an API key in your account or would like to create one just for DPD, click on add a key
  4. Select the API key and copy it.

Step 2: DPD Setup:

  1. Log in to DPD
  2. Choose the store you want to integrate with MailChimp from the store pull down at the top of the screen.
  3. Click on Integrations from the left navigation.
  4. Click on + Add next to the MailChimp integration.
  5. Paste in your MailChimp API key from step 1 (above).
  6. Click on Next Step.
  7. Choose the list to subscribe your customer to.
  8. Click on Save

Thats it!  When you make a sale through the website you have set up the customer information (email, name) will automatically be passed to the MailChimp list you specified.  Once you make a sale you can check back with MailChimp to make sure they received your customer data.

Cool, but would be even better if we could pass the product purchased information

Set up different list for different products. That's why I do :) So you automatically know what product was purchased by what list they are on. You can also look up the email and/or name in your dpd accout and match it to the product purchased.
