Main Menu → Marketing → LyrisHQ

Integrating Lyris into your UltraCart account is quick and easy.

Integration with Lyris takes only a few minutes and is simple as 1-2-3!

Step 1

If you don't already have a Lyris account, start here .

When you ready to integrate your Lyris with your UltraCart account, navigate from the UltraCart Main Menu to Marketing then scroll down and click on Lyris.

Step 2

Configure your Lyris credentials. You'll need to configure your "Username" , "Password" and then choose your server from the drop-down menu next to the "server" field.

Step 3

If you would like to automatically subscribe customers to one or more lists when they make their purchase, simple enter the list name(s) into the "List Names" (One per line).


                                         At this point you can simple click the "save" button at the bottom of the page and you're done!

What about Step 4?

For more advanced users you can choose to specify on a buy link which list they should be added to upon completion of the payment for their order. In addition to the examples displayed here for adding list parameters into the buy link URL's of your items, you can accomplish the same thing by editing an item, then navigating to the "other" tab of the item editor and then scrolling down to the "Marketing" section that appears once you have configured your Lyris API, where you can enter the list names that the customer should be subscribed to upon purchasing the item.

Logging of transmission between UltraCart and LyrisHQ:

At the bottom of theLyrisHQ configuration page is a log button which will provide details of the transmissions of the customer mailing list subscriptions to LyrisHQ. If you believe there is a problem with the subscriptions, this will be the first place to go to investigation the subscription activity.
