the short answer

What do you get by connecting Shopify and Mailchimp?

askotter reads Shopify and Mailchimp side by side and puts both in one report for the business. The owner sees how activity in one leads to results in the other, gets an alert when a number moves and can ask questions by text.

From Shopify: Orders and revenue, Product performance, Customer profiles and segments.
From Mailchimp: Campaign performance, Audience segments, Automation workflows.
Status: Mailchimp is on the integration roadmap, so the matching described here starts when that connector ships.
Not for: Replacing Shopify or Mailchimp. Both keep working exactly as they do now.

matching the records

How Shopify and Mailchimp records line up

Shopify and Mailchimp both store the customer's email address. askotter lowercases and trims it on both sides before matching, so the same person shows up as one customer across the two tools.

Shopify and Mailchimp both keep the UTM source, medium and campaign values from the visit, so activity lines up campaign by campaign even when no single person can be matched.

Shared between the two: the customer email address and the UTM campaign tags.

Mailchimp is on the integration roadmap, so the matching described here starts when that connector ships.

What each tool sees on its ownShow less

Shopify on its own

Shopify sees the order and the landing page. It has no view of the ad impressions, emails or searches that came before that session.

Timing. Shopify writes each order the moment it is placed, including the landing page and referring site of the session that bought.

Access. Read-only access through the Shopify Admin API, approved from the store admin.

Mailchimp on its own

Mailchimp sees who received and clicked. It cannot see what the reader did after landing on the site.

Timing. Mailchimp reports opens and clicks per campaign. Apple Mail Privacy Protection inflates opens, so clicks are the steadier signal.

Access. The Mailchimp Marketing API with an OAuth connection.
