Description:
The Maileon ECWID Plugin allows you to synchornize your contacts, checkouts and abandoned carts from ECWID to Maileon.
Further a RSS feed is generated for easy import of your store products into the Maileon content editor.
Installation:
Purchase and install the app via the ECIWD marketplace: https://www.ecwid.com/de/apps/featured/maileon
After installation go to “Apps->My Apps”. There you will find “Maileon Email Marketing”. Click on “Open app” to enter the configuration form.
RSS feed:
At the top of the config form you will find your personal RSS feed containing all your store product data.
Configuration:
1. Maileon API Key:
Enter your Maileon API Key here. You can generate a Maileon API Key in Maileon under Settings->API Keys.
2. Sync permissions
There are two types of contact syncs.
a) Initial sync => Syncs all existing contacts from store to Maileon
b) Live sync => Syncs all new contacts from store to Maileon.
For each you must set the desired permission for the contacts in Maileon separately.
2. Sync Opt-Outs
You can activate Opt-Outs syncing from store to Maileon and from Maileon to store.
If you want to use Opt-Out syncing you must enable it in the store settings:
This will enable a checkbox during checkout asking the customer for newsletter consent. The plugin will check in that case if this checkbox was clicked during checkout and alter the targeted permission accordingly.
Further you can now check the Opt-In status of your contacts in your store in the contact details. The plugin will also create webhooks in Maileon for you which will send your newsletter unsubscriptions automatically to the store.
3. Double Opt-In
You can enable Double Opt-In sendout for intial and live sync. A DOI can be send only when the targeted permission is set to “none”. Maileon will then send automatically a DOI email to the user.
3.1 Double Opt-In Key
This field is optional. Typically the default DOI campaign in your Maileon account is beeing used for the DOI sendout.
If you have multiple DOI campaigns and want to use a specific campaign for ECWID sync DOI sendouts you can specify the DOI key here.
4. Transactions to send (contact events)
4.1 Abandoned carts
