Is it possible to segment who joined the list from checkout?

A confirmation saying just “it’s not possible with this plugin” would be highly appreciated too, as I’m trying to guess if that’s possible and it’s very time consuming

Thanks again for your free plugin

Carlos

Hi Carlos,

Yes, this is possible. You can either create a separate list for people who purchase products and one for those who subscribe to your newsletter.

Or, you could could send an additional merge field for either the subscription or when people buy a product.

See this help article for how to send additional fields to MailChimp by hooking in our plugin’s action hooks: https://support.saintsystems.com/hc/en-us/articles/208477286-Sending-additional-fields-to-MailChimp

In your case, you don’t actually need a field on the checkout form so you can bypass the first part of that article which shows how to add a “birthday” field to the checkout form. Instead, you can simply focus on the code that begins below “// tie into the WooCommerce MailChimp ‘ss_wc_mailchimp_subscribe_merge_tags'” which shows how to send a custom merge tag to mailchimp. For instance, you could create a custom Merge Tag in MailChimp and call it “Customer” and then use that value with the hook referenced above to send that value with our plugin integration so that people who buy something from your WooCommerce Store get that merge tag populated. Then, you can segment based on that field in MailChimp.

So, if I understood well, I need to add the following to functions.php, right?

function ss_wc_send_Source_hidden_field_to_mailchimp( $merge_tags, $order_id, $email ) {
    // Add 'Source' merge variable to MailChimp call (change 'Source' to whatever your merge variable is called in MailChimp)
	$merge_tags['Source'] = 'checkout';
    return $merge_tags;
}
add_filter( 'ss_wc_mailchimp_subscribe_merge_tags' , 'ss_wc_send_Source_hidden_field_to_mailchimp', 10 , 3 );

Thanks so much for your support!!

Nope, the above code is NOT working. It does not break the site and the email is added, but the Source field is empty :/

I was able to do it with the plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/yikes-inc-easy-mailchimp-extender/

In addition, I have configured as I wanted thanks to its support:

– To add a hidden field to be able to segment it thanks to it: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/woocommerce-integration-how-to-add-hidden-field-to-segment/#post-10337516

– To set it in the position I wanted, I use this Javascript code: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/woocommerce-integration-incompatibility-with-one-page-checkout/page/2/#post-10336126

– To add the email to a different Mailchimp list depending upon if the page is translated into English or Spanish (using WPML): https://wpml.org/forums/topic/different-mailchimp-list-in-woocommerce-checkout-depending-on-language/#post-2627888
