Hi,
To integrate MailChimp with your Shopify store, you will need:
- a MailChimp account
- a MailChimp list
- a Shopify theme that integrates with MailChimp.
To begin, you’ll need to get a form action URL from MailChimp. You can find the form action URL in your MailChimp account dashboard. The following steps show you how to find your form action URL, and how to add it to your theme by using the theme editor.
Get the form code from MailChimp
- Log in to your MailChimp account.
- From your account Dashboard, click Lists in the navigation menu.
- Find the list you want to connect to your Shopify store, click the
vbutton, and choose Signup forms.
Tip
Clicking Signup forms might take you to the Settings page if your list is not configured correctly. To continue, configure your list and save the settings, then click Signup formsat the top of the Settings page.
- Click Select on the Embedded forms option.
- On the Embedded forms page, click Naked.
- Find the Copy/paste onto your site section.
Caution
You don’t need all of this code — just the form action URL. In the next section, you’ll separate that URL from the rest of the code.
- Click anywhere in the box to select the code.
- Press
ctrl+Con a PC orcommand+Con a Mac to copy the code.
Find the form action URL
- In a text editor like Notepad or TextEdit, paste the code by pressing
ctrl+Von a PC orcommand+Von a Mac. - Find the form action URL, which is a unique URL that you need to link your store to MailChimp.
- Select the URL between the quotation marks after the code

Use the form action URL in your theme
- From your Shopify admin, go to SALES CHANNELS: Online Store > Themes.
- Click Customize.
- Find the box to enter your form action URL. If your theme integrates with MailChimp, then you can find a box to enter your MailChimp form action URL in the theme editor. The box might be labeled with text like MailChimp form action URL or MailChimp form action. The box will most likely be in the Footer, Sidebar, or Newsletter section, but its location differs depending on which theme you are using.
- Paste the URL that you copied into the MailChimp form action URL box by pressing
ctrl+Von a PC orcommand+Von a Mac. - Click Save changes to confirm the change to your theme settings.
You can test your MailChimp integration by subscribing to your own MailChimp newsletter.
