Mailchimp Email SMS Marketing

App won't open on Shopify and it is not synching new products nor recently re-activated products. This is the second time it has happened, the first incident was on July 4th.

I signed up for Mailchimp’s Essential plan, but without my consent they automatically switched me to a more expensive plan and charged me extra. The reason? Simply importing contacts — even though not all of them are subscribers. In the end, Mailchimp only recognized 302 active emails, yet they forced me into a higher tier and billed me more.
This feels completely unfair and misleading. If I had actually used a larger audience, I could understand the cost increase. But being charged for contacts that aren’t even active subscribers makes no sense.
To make things worse, the system gives you no clear warning before upgrading and charging extra. It feels like a trap to push users into paying more.
I regret choosing Mailchimp — the pricing model is deceptive, support is slow, and instead of helping small businesses, it takes advantage of them.
I will be canceling and moving to another platform.

So far this is an amazing app that allows you to fully integrate Shopify and Mailchimp. Excited to use abandoned cart automations, product recommendations, etc. We ran into a small issue on our end where we wanted to switch our synced audience and the chat team (Rafael in particular) was super helpful. Excited to use this app even more!

ottimo supporto, preciso e puntuale! Abbiamo risolto un problema complesso di sincronizzazione dei dati. Grazie Lori!

Great customer service! Dean helped me and was very patient, thorough, and helpful. His help has actually made me better integrate Mailchimp to my website. Thank you, Dean and Mailchimp! I highly recommend to any small business that wants to expand their marketing efforts and improve their conversions.

I'm sure that Aaron was doing exactly as he'd been trained, but I need more hand-holding than was offered. He was particularly nice and in the end, my needs were met. The help links are so circlular that it feels impossible to actually do the task one might go to find help for. Being directed to those links after exploring them extensively is frustrating, but Aaron was a darling and patient with me.

If you have too many different customer tags in Shopify, this app stops syncing any customer tags. We've spent 3 weeks full-time trying to fix this with no luck. Then it synced tens of thousands of old contacts from Shopify to Mailchimp with no way to filter them out, doubling our Mailchimp costs due to extra subscribers. We will have to pay a developer to build a custom Shopify-Mailchimp syncing app to compensate for this app's deficiencies.

Edit: I've tried all combinations of options, including trying to only sync specific tags. That didn't work either.

I'll let everyone else talk about how seamless this integration is, but I want to talk about the Support team. We ran into an issue connecting to Mailchimp. I clicked to contact support for the integration and they actually helped! It turned out there was a real issue. (It wasn't me.) I worked with David, who kept in touch every day, asking if I could try one more thing and assuring me that the team was working on it. And they were! It turns out that there was some old code from a previous version of the integration that was still lurking around and causing issues. They found it and fixed it. Now it's working great. It's easy to complain when things aren't working right, but the communication was so great that I was confident that it would be fine.

On the integration itself: The fact that your products load automatically makes creating emails so much faster!

Cannot load: The app couldn’t be loaded. This app can’t load due to an issue with browser cookies. Try enabling cookies in your browser or switching to another browser. I tried to contact the support team, but they could not help me solve the issue. Please refund my money.

I'd been using Mailchimp for years when I worked in email marketing for larger companies and when I started my own small business I knew I'd want to continue using it (over the many other programs I'd also used). I'm so glad the Shopify Mailchimp integration is back! I've found it easy to work with and it's great for email customization, automated drip campaigns, and lead gen forms on my website. I especially like the newer multi-step pop-up forms! Recently I had noticed a syncing error with my pop-up form and shopify sharing customer data, but I worked with Paul and Rafael in integrations and they got it fixed and kept me updated along the way. Very happy with their service! The only con I have is the pricing is a bit high for me as a small business and I wish the SMS credits rolled over month to month, but I still think it's well worth it and will continue to use it with my store.
