When you are selling online, building an email list is a necessity. When you have one, you can send your buyers an e-blast to notify them of upcoming sales, news about your products, etc. You can use these emails to entice them to buy something and follow you on other channels, and you can empower them to become your brand ambassadors.
The third-party integration feature that we outline below will allow you to take in buyers' data (with their permission) and add it to a mailing system. The most common ones that E-junkie integrates with are Aweber, who we are pre-integrated with, and MailChimp.
Since we are pre-integrated with Aweber I’m going to start with them. First, in your Aweber account, go to the List Settings tab. From there you will want to click on Parsers, and then finally add a check mark to the box for E-junkie Parser. If you do not set this side of the integration up, then it will not work.
After that you will need to add in the following URL to either the common or product specific integration settings:
For those setting, see our blog about it from a few weeks ago, or the steps below. (http://www.e-junkie.info/2015/03/tips-tricks-sending-order-data-to-third.html).
In e-junkie go to Seller Admin>Edit Account Preferences. In the Common Notification URL field add in the URL, making sure to set the YOURLISTID to the numeric ID for the list in Aweber.
Then just click Submit
to save the new setting. As long as everything is also setup with Aweber, then
your buyers will be added to the mailing list.
Just like Aweber, with MailChimp you will need to make sure to
setup your MailChimp account first. In your MailChimp account click on your Profile name to open the Account Panel. From there click on the
Account option. Next, click on the option for Integrations. Under the e-junkie option click the drop down
menu to select a list to add your e-junkie
buyers to.
MailChimp should provide you with an Integration URL on that
screen.
Now you’re ready to setup the product specific settings. In e-junkie go to Seller Admin>View/Edit/Delete Products. Select a product from
the drop down menu and click Edit.
On the first page add a check mark to the box for Send Transaction Data to a URL, then click Next to go to the More
Options page. On the More Options
page, in the Payment Variable Information URL field, you will want to paste the
URL from MailChimp in, so it will look like this…
Finally, click Next
until you can Submit the changes.
Once these are setup your buyers’ information will be sent to
whoever you specified. Do not forget
that both services will e-mail your buyers to verify that they want to join
your mailing list before it adds them in.
