Every step, in order
When it happens in the first app, the step runs in the second, with the client’s own account.
- An order is paid
- An order whose payment went through, checked every 5 minutes; once per order. The app needs the read_orders scope.
- Add to an audience
- Adds the email to an audience, or updates its merge fields if it is already there: a lead who submits twice is one subscriber. The status applies to a new subscriber only; an existing one keeps theirs (change it with “Update a subscriber”).

What each client fills in
- Mailchimp: Audience ID
- For example Audience → Settings → Audience name and defaults
The accounts it needs
Each is the client’s own, stored encrypted and never copied between clients. Until one is added the client’s checklist shows it, and nothing runs.
Only for a store that already has an admin-created custom app. In the client’s Shopify admin: Apps → Develop apps → the app: its Admin API scopes must include write_customers and read_orders; the token is under API credentials (shown once when it is made; if it is no longer shown, generate a new one).
In the client’s Mailchimp: Profile → Extras → API keys → Create A Key. The server prefix is the part after the dash (us21).
After you install it
It lands switched off. The client’s checklist holds exactly this:
- Connect the client’s Shopify, for “An order is paid”
- Connect the client’s Mailchimp, for “Add to an audience”
- Fill in Mailchimp: Audience ID (For example Audience → Settings → Audience name and defaults)
