About WP WooCommerce Mailchimp

From the official readme · v3.2.0

Description

WP WooCommerce Mailchimp provides simple and flexible Mailchimp integration for WooCommerce.

Automatically subscribe customers to a designated Mailchimp list and, optionally, Mailchimp interest groups and tags upon order creation or order completion.
This can be done quietly or based on the user’s consent with several opt-in settings that support international opt-in laws.

Works with both Classic and Block-Based Checkout — fully compatible with WooCommerce’s default block checkout (the default since WooCommerce 8.3) and the traditional shortcode checkout.

Features

WooCommerce Event Selection

  • Subscribe customers to Mailchimp after order creation
  • Subscribe customers to Mailchimp after order processing
  • Subscribe customers to Mailchimp after order completion

Works with Mailchimp Interest Groups and Tags

  • Set one or more interest groups to add users to based on the selected Mailchimp list
  • Set one or more tags to add users to based on the selected Mailchimp list

Block Checkout Support

  • Opt-in checkbox renders natively in WooCommerce’s block-based checkout
  • Matches WooCommerce’s native checkout styling
  • Fully backward compatible with classic shortcode checkout

Opt-In Settings

  • Mailchimp double opt-in support (control whether a double opt-in email is sent to the customer)
  • Optionally, display an opt-in checkbox on the checkout page (required in some countries)
  • Control the label displayed next to the opt-in checkbox
  • Control whether or not the opt-in checkbox is checked or unchecked by default
  • Control the placement of the opt-in checkbox on the checkout page (classic checkout)

Upgrade to Pro

WP WooCommerce Mailchimp Pro unlocks powerful features for growing stores:

  • Per-Product Mailchimp Settings — assign different lists, interest groups, and tags per product
  • Per-Variation Mailchimp Settings — different Mailchimp mappings for each product variation (Monthly vs Annual, Small vs Large, etc.)
  • Merge Field Mapping — map any WooCommerce order, customer, or product field to Mailchimp merge fields without writing code. Set global defaults with per-product and per-variation overrides.
  • WooCommerce Subscriptions Integration — sync Mailchimp membership with subscription lifecycle (active, cancelled, expired)
  • Subscription Expiration Actions — automatically unsubscribe, remove tags, or remove interest groups when a subscription expires

Translation Support

Would you like to help translate the plugin into more languages? Join our Translations Community at https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/woocommerce-mailchimp.

WooCommerce Mailchimp translation is managed through WordPress language packs here: https://translate.wordpress.org. This allows WooCommerce Mailchimp to be translated into other languages. The preferred tool for translating plugins is called GlotPress. You can read about how GlotPress works in the WordPress Translator’s Handbook.

Thanks in advance for your help on any translation efforts!

We also support bundled translations via:

  • Included woocommerce-mailchimp.pot file
  • WPML support via wpml-config.xml

Included Translations:

  • English (US) (default)
  • French.

Custom Translations

If you don’t want to use WordPress language packs or bundled translations, you can use your own custom translations.

  • Place custom translations in /wp-content/languages/woocommerce-mailchimp/woocommerce-mailchimp_{lang}_{country}.mo. This ensures they won’t get overwritten by plugin updates.

Translation Loading

If no custom translations are present, languages will be loaded in the following order:

  • From WordPress language packs in: /wp-content/languages/plugins/woocommerce-mailchimp/woocommerce-mailchimp_{lang}_{country}.mo
  • From the plugin bundled in: /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-mailchimp/languages/woocommerce-mailchimp_{lang}_{country}.mo

Multisite

  • All features should work for each blog in multisite installations.
