IMPORTANT NOTE on API KEY and API URL

You need to generate a Mailchimp API key for the integration. To do so, login to your Mailchimp account, then go to “Profile” -> “Extras” -> “API keys“. Click the “Create a key” button, and choose your name (ie. Kleverlist). Copy and store the generated key. The format is 7403xxxx-usxx. Take note of the final part of the key (-usxx).

The Mailchimp API URL is https://<dc>.api.mailchimp.com/3.0/. The <dc> part of the URL corresponds to the data center for your account, which is also the final part of your API key (-usxx). More information on the official documentation.

Step 3: Choose the Audience

The next step involves choosing the Mailchimp audience you want to link with your WooCommerce store. This ensures that customer information seamlessly flows into the designated audience in your Mailchimp account.

Select the desired Audience (4) from your Mailchimp account. Once selected, click the “Load Audience” button (5) to link your WooCommerce store to the Audience.
