Note Regarding the Initial Import for Merchants with an existing MailChimp account
| Info |
|---|
| When you initially configure the MailChimp integration, if the global email list you configure already has customers subscribed to it, those customers will be toggled as Not having purchased. So, you may want to create a new mailing list for the "Step 3" global list assignment, or otherwise you'll need to initially perform some additional sorting of the list within MailChimp. Therefore, you may want to first same the list assigned to "Step 3", and export those, then tag them as purchased and then import them back into the MailChimp list. |
