Mailchimp Email SMS Marketing

David spent some time helping us with an issue with our bounce rate. Because he was not able to find the reason, he sent us some general information on high bounce rates, and has assured us he will be looking further into the issue for us and get back to us with more specific information by the end of today. We really appreciate his help with this issue, and we are eager to make sure this does not happen again.

I love the integration, it makes emailing easier and less time consuming. I love the product recommendations, however I did have issues with it pulling archived and drafted products once or twice. When I reached out to MailChimp they were helpful and seemed to very much want to fix these issues. Although a few things need to be fixed here and there, this emailer is the best one I have used so far. I love the analytics and overall ability to improve every email.

We’ve been using the Mailchimp app for our Shopify store, and it’s been working perfectly. It’s user-friendly, and the integration runs smoothly.

What truly sets this app apart is the outstanding customer support. I want to specifically highlight Lori, who went above and beyond to help us resolve a technical issue. She was quick, professional, and genuinely dedicated to finding a solution. Her expertise and willingness to assist made all the difference.

Highly recommend this app if you’re looking for a reliable email marketing solution backed by a stellar support team!

Dean has been very helpful the last hour. Dean gets 5 stars
The support this morning prior to Dean was really terrible and a waste of my time as well as your employees. I finally got so frustrated and fed up that I closed my account.I was told on 12/6/24 by the onboarding person that all the info would be synced and uploaded ot mailchimp. It was not as of Dec 9 . No one could figure out how to upload all my products and the pictures. I need to create email marketing pieces that were supposed to have gone out yesterday Dec 9.
I thought for sure i would be able to get the emails out today by 8 am est. WRONG WRONG WRONG
Well see if this all works later this afternoon now that i habe lost another entire day of marketing to ship to the east coast which means customers will have to pay more for shipping.
This is not to be released to the public it is only for inhouse use by mailchimp

Mailchimp has really gone down hill since they were acquired by Intuit. This app is terrible because it is now spamming my new customers with double-opt-in emails - some customers get those emails every day for a week straight, even though double-opt-in should be deactivated. The app is broken, it HAS BEEN broken for like 2 months, and they still haven't bothered to fix it. This makes me very upset. And I pay a lot for their services. I no longer feel it is worth it.

Mailchimp has been a good service integrating with Shopify. As with any saas integration across two platforms there are always going to have a few issues. But both sides are always quick to rectify.

I particularly would like to point out the customer success managers from mailchimp. We've had two stellar ones so far who are high on communication and helping us use all the tools available.

They have many bugs in the last months and the biggest one is when our store was disconnected from they’re servers and we need to wait for more than 48 hours to finish the resync.

I found over recent years the integration with Shopify has improved, but its still far from the level other mail solutions are at. The final straw for writing this review has been trying to pause / deactivate a simple pop up / sign up form. Despite doing this there is still code / script on our site and we are left with a generic sign up form which mailchimp support can not help with. We are advised to hire "an expert" to solve this ! heck we just want to turn off a pop up form and try another one ... well this final straw will be the catalyst to finding another Email solution. Update .. now they want me to update my review .. OK well how is this. After MailChimp told me over and over that this was our issue and to hire an expert to remove the code ... Turns our it was their issue and their Developers identified the problem and removed the code. Their support was unwavering is their response that this was our issue. But we would not give in. Then in the end No Apology.

This app has caused several issues with my Shopify store- that as of this review still have yet to be resolved.
Initially, we wanted to have a newsletter subscription pop up on the front page of our store, and after being set up, it initially would not appear.
After contacting the help center (which they were very kind and patient), we were able to get the pop up working, but found when it popped up, it blocked out the entire storefront. It would not go away without refreshing the page. We decided to disable and do away with this integration.

Mailchimp has the potential to be a great tool but what a hassle to set up, and like another review, you have to watch your contacts list like a hawk. We have the opposite problem than another reviewer had - where Mailchimp is overriding Shopify subscriptions, so a client agrees to emails during the checkout process but Mailchimp codes them as non-subscribed pending a double opt-in, and it’s random. I’ve been on chat for days and they just talk nonsense about why. Most of the live chat agents don’t bother to understand your problem and just write some template answer that has nothing to do with your problem., and they send you links to articles to read. If I wanted to read an article, I wouldn’t be on live chat! The pre-built templates are cool and the AI features really helpful.The support over the phone is great and you can share your screen and have them walk you thru design & workflow. You have to pay the big bucks though to get phone support. So some really nice features and some not so nice, but man are the live chat agents a challenge!
