Overview  

MailChimp is a leading email marketing platform which enables businesses to send automated marketing messages and targeted campaigns. From version 3.80+, Commerce Vision CSS features seamless integration with MailChimp, pushing sales data to your member profiles for use in MailChimp's eCommerce functionality.

Once order data is attached to your MailChimp subscribers, it can be used for targeted marketing activities. For example, you may wish to segment a list of members and send a product follow-up message to only those who have purchased from a particular category. 

This guide details the steps required to implement eCommerce functionality with Customer Self Service and your existing MailChimp account.
