can’t set subscriber interest group with woocommerce checkout integration

    I am trying to set the billing city and interest group via the woocommerce checkout form using the mc4wp woocommerce integration. I am using the following code in the function.php file in my theme:

    add_filter( 'mc4wp_integration_woocommerce_subscriber_data', 'woocommerce_mailchimp_bb', 10, 1);
function woocommerce_mailchimp_bb( $subscriber ) {
	$subscriber->merge_fields[ "TOWN" ] = sanitize_text_field( $_POST['billing_city'] );
	$subscriber->interests[ "aaa7c012dc" ] = true;
	return $subscriber;
}

    The TOWN merge field is working perfectly. But the subscribers interest is not being set.
    The interest id is correct (it is normally a variable but I just hard-coded it for testing purposes).
    And I have just installed the latest version of the plugin.

    Do you have any suggestions?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,

    Is replace interest groups turned on in the WooCommerce integration settings?
    Did you copy the interest id from the MailChimp for WP > Mailchimp screen, after clicking refresh lists?

    Hope that helps!

    Kind regards,

    Hi,

    Thanks for your quick reply. Your answer helps … sort of. At least I understand why the subscribers interest wasn’t being set. The option to replace interest groups is turned off in the integration settings. But I do that because I want to add to the interest groups when a subscriber submits another order rather than replace them. If I understand correctly I need to have the replace option on. So my next question: is there a way of adding interests to an existing subscriber?

    Thanks!

    Hey @kdryder,

    Adding interest groups to existing subscribers is not possible in the core plugin. You will need to use our free add-on “MailChimp User Sync” and additional custom code that checks if user has ordered 2nd time.
