really poor app. does not pull new subscribers from shopify to mailchimp account - really bad waste of money and so much time

Randomly deleted account, no way to figure out a solution and lost access to any data and integrations. Customer support was kind though.

The company is too big - all fake accounts - very poor service - nothing is honest or transparent - Yes - you have reached out - but still have no answer and are blaming Shoptify -

Could never get any help. Despite 2 "onboarding" calls (one of which I was told to call tech support for an emaill??? not!) They charged me 4 times for 4 different things, despite repeated emails, uninstalling the app and deleting it. NO ONE listened to the actual issue (which wasn't technical) and they won't delete the charges. So I'm notifying my Attorney General... Maybe now you'll pay attention???????

I signed up for Mailchimp’s Essential plan, but without my consent they automatically switched me to a more expensive plan and charged me extra. The reason? Simply importing contacts — even though not all of them are subscribers. In the end, Mailchimp only recognized 302 active emails, yet they forced me into a higher tier and billed me more. This feels completely unfair and misleading. If I had actually used a larger audience, I could understand the cost increase. But being charged for contacts that aren’t even active subscribers makes no sense. To make things worse, the system gives you no clear warning before upgrading and charging extra. It feels like a trap to push users into paying more. I regret choosing Mailchimp — the pricing model is deceptive, support is slow, and instead of helping small businesses, it takes advantage of them. I will be canceling and moving to another platform.

"session invalid"

App won’t open in my Shopify and is not linking new email subscribers to my Shopify. Please help.

If you have too many different customer tags in Shopify, this app stops syncing any customer tags. We've spent 3 weeks full-time trying to fix this with no luck. Then it synced tens of thousands of old contacts from Shopify to Mailchimp with no way to filter them out, doubling our Mailchimp costs due to extra subscribers. We will have to pay a developer to build a custom Shopify-Mailchimp syncing app to compensate for this app's deficiencies. Edit: I've tried all combinations of options, including trying to only sync specific tags. That didn't work either.

They are removing free features one by one so I am removing the app. Look after people on the way up guys.

In the prices listed on Shopify, it says that the price for the essential plan is $13 per month for up to 50,000 contacts. Once the app is installed, however, they ask for €345. Also, the app is very slow and the chatbot on their support site doesn't work... with what face do they ask for all this money?

Such a predatory pricing structure. Klaviyo's pricing was more upfront and honest, plus open rates DOUBLED. We've been with Mailchimp for 12 years, it's no longer king of email since it was acquired.

JUST A MASSIVE RIP OFF. Great sales pitch...so I signed up, only to find that a massively complex set up include DNS settings. Because I have 45,000 contacts it then charged me for all of these despite only 21,000 being subscribers. So, so far not 1 email sent and £500 in charges. Avoid these people like the plague.

Not sure what happened to Mailchimp but my bills started out reasonable but as my business grew, my bill ballooned into this extreme amount each month. What’s worse is when I went to cancel, they charged me even more for “additional contact blocks” what for? No clue… …. Felt like they were holding my account as ransom and I had to pay $100 to close my account to avoid the new monthly fee from hitting my card…. There are a lot of options out there, choose one of them.

Application et services très intuitifs, très facile d'utilisation. Pas toujours facile cependant de maîtriser son design et la mise en page des newsletters. Mais ensuite ça se gâte. Je rencontre de nombreux problèmes de synchronisation avec shopify et d'intégration dans shopify. Par exemple je ne retrouve pas le même nombre d'abonnés côté shopify et côté mailchimp, il n'y a pas la possibilité de segmenter correctement par rapport à des chiffres d'affaire générés ou autre (contrairement à ce qui est régulièrement annoncé et mis en avant). Lorsque vous essayer d'avoir des explications avec le support. C'est lunaire. C'est le point très négatif: l'équipe support est un fake. D'où ma note. J'ai 3 problèmes en cours qui trainent depuis plusieurs semaines. Les réponses sont évasives, différentes selon interlocuteur, elle reporte l'investigation, et la résolution du problème sur l'utilisateur. Dernier exemple en date : le pop up pour l'inscription à la newsletter qui s'affiche sur mon site alors que je l'ai désactivé, puis supprimé depuis mailchimp (car ça ne fonctionnait pas). Il continuait à s'afficher malgré tout sur mon site. Le support m'a invité à faire appel à un développeur freelance ! Ce n'est pas l'aide que l'on attend d'un support. Malgré les nombreuses qualités de Mailchimp (mais que l'on trouve ailleurs) l'incompétence et la mauvaise fois de l'équipe support m'amènent à mettre cette note. À contre coeur.

If you have the opportunity to use it, it is better to waste it. Good luck trying to cancel the subscription. They will charge ridiculously things when you try and won't let you until you pay.

*** A Terrible Experience with Mailchimp – Unfair Billing Practices *** My experience with Mailchimp has been highly disappointing, and I cannot in good conscience recommend their service. I initially chose Mailchimp as a backup system for my emails, using the Essentials plan at $11.00 per month. However, at some point, they shifted to a business model that, in my opinion, is unfair. Their two-tier billing system charges inflated prices for a Contact Block with 250 contacts, even though they could simply switch customers to an Adjusted Plan—which costs half the price. Billing Issues & Lack of Customer Support On January 26, 2024, we contacted Mailchimp to pause our billing after our system was spammed with thousands of fake sign-ups, which inflated not only our Mailchimp charges but also affected other integrated systems. Our message was clear: "We have a problem with our list, which has grown beyond expectations due to spam. Can you set our billing on hold while we try to find a solution? As you can see, we are not sending out any campaigns from our account." Despite this explicit request, Mailchimp continued billing us every month, totaling $3,990.25. When I followed up again on January 26, 2025, their response was a generic, unhelpful email: "Hey there, Thanks for being patient with your Mailchimp support request. We apologize for our slower response times as we are experiencing extremely high volume. If the above information does not help, please ensure you are writing from the account's owner/admin email address and reply to this email. We will prioritize your reply and reach out as soon as we can. We appreciate your patience!" Meanwhile, they continue charging my card $516.75 per month. Unfair Practices & Difficult Cancellation Process To make matters worse, Mailchimp has made it unnecessarily difficult to disconnect from Shopify. When attempting to remove the integration, they display an alarming message: "Are you sure you want to disconnect? Disconnecting your Mailchimp account will cause any Shopify data that's been synced to be deleted from Mailchimp. That can't be undone!" Final Verdict: Think Twice Before Using Mailchimp Mailchimp's billing practices and lack of customer support make them an unreliable and frustrating choice for email marketing. If you're considering Mailchimp for Shopify or any other platform, I strongly advise you to think twice before committing.
