Connect to the Mailchimp OAuth and add Mailchimp log in credentials.
Choose a Mailchimp audience to sync to.
Map fields from your Big Cartel store to Mailchimp.
Click Sync Now.
After installation, a "final" app page displays information about audience settings, an optional script you can install to use premium features like installing a pop-up subscription form and a link to view event logs. Event logs will display sync history and order events as they happen in real time.
To install scripts you must be on a paid Big Cartel plan. If you're on Big Cartel's free Gold plan, you won't be able to install the scripts, and Mailchimp's features will be limited.
Once you've got everything , your customers will see a new option to subscribe to your email list at checkout. If they check the box to opt-in, they'll show up in your Mailchimp list immediately after they place their order.
Heads up! This integration is GDPR compliant.
You can create a Mailchimp pop-up subscription form in your shop if you’re on one of our paid plans. To do this, you’ll go through an additional step during the integration setup process where you’ll paste a Mailchimp installation script into your Big Cartel Integration Code.
You can find that installation script by clicking the Mailchimp app found under the Connected Apps section on your Big Cartel Account page. Then from that same Account page, head to the Design > Code section. Click the Body button under the Integration Code section and paste in your Mailchimp Installation Script. Click Done and Publish.
Once that scripts in place, head to Connected Sites in your Mailchimp account to create and publish a pop-up form in your shop.
You can also take advantage of Promo Blocks in your newsletter template to automatically import discount codes you'd like to advertise to your subscribers.
