As you can probably tell, we actually don't know much about MailChimp's integration with us; we only found out about it long after they'd already set it up entirely on their own, without any input or cooperation from us whatsoever, apparently just following the public documentation we posted for our generic custom/third-party Integration feature:
http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/help.integration.htm

If you require integration with a full-featured mailing list service that can respect opt-in preferences from checkout, we would recommend using Aweber with our built-in integration method for that:
http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/tips.integration.built-in.htm#aweber

Of course, our built-in Updates & Newsletters service may suffice for more basic needs to send only occasional newsletters:

I'm sorry but this information you are giving is not correct.

The E-Junkie - Mailchimp integration does NOT trigger an automatic opt-in e-mail to the customer who gets added to the list.

I have clarified this with Mailchimp directly. So as I said before, even if someone choose to not opt-in , they WILL get added to your list without them knowing.

(this is also mentioned on their site if you need to clarify yourself http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/im-not-receiving-my-subscribe-unsubscribe-notifications)]]> E-junkie Discussions; Whistlerdan http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3114/pg/1#post22356 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3114/pg/1#post22356 Wed, 5 Dec 2012 21:47:26 GMT
MailChimp integration ONLY occurs if you have deliberately followed MailChimp's instructions to set that up. The method that MailChimp chose to receive order data from us cannot indicate the buyer's opt-in preference from checkout methods that offer such a preference.

[EDIT: MailChimp DOES NOT send new subscribers by this integration method a confirmation email with an opt-in link they must click to confirm their wish to subscribe.]

Our Aweber integration method (if you choose to set it up) CAN respect the buyer's opt-in preference for checkout methods that support it:
http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/tips.integration.built-in.htm#aweber

The Buyer Group lists we maintain for each of your products will also respect the buyer's opt-in preference; you can use these lists with our built-in Updates & Newsletters service for a nominal fee -- see this help page for further details:
http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/help.updates.htm

Note that PayPal's checkout site does not support any opt-in/-out preference, so buyers using PayPal Standard or PayPal Pro Express Checkout are always opted-in automatically; however, for MailChimp or Aweber subscriptions, they would still receive a confirmation email with an opt-in link they must click to actually get added to that list.

If you would like us to opt-out all of your buyers automatically and remove the opt-in checkbox from checkout pages we maintain for you (card-based direct payments and Free Checkouts) as soon as we develop a method to do so, please email your request to Support, so we can assign that to Development's to-do list:

This could be a deal breaker for us. Going to have to think about this today.

I have to be extremely careful with our customers and the OPT-IN FOR NEWSLETTER stuff (been down this road before).

And what is this "BUILT IN BUYER GROUP MAILING LIST" info mentioned earlier in this thread? Where can we go to read about this?

This issue could be a deal-breaker for us. If we find out we have no control over this, and info on our customers is indeed being shared with other companies, then we are left with an impression of ejunkie and not in their best interest.

Please, expand on this issue.

So if a MailChimp user sent them an e-mail they could quite correctly say 'hey I chose NOT to opt-in to you your newsletter, why am I getting this?'

E-Junkie and Mailchimp need to get together and fix that... it seems crazy. Even Mailchimp has all over their site that they are an Opt-in ESP only. This goes against their own rules.]]> E-junkie Discussions; Whistlerdan http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3114/pg/1#post22356 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3114/pg/1#post22356 Tue, 4 Dec 2012 22:31:35 GMT
MailChimp uses our generic custom/3rd-party Integration method, which does not transmit the buyer's opt-in preference, so they should receive the buyer's details for every sale (if you use the Common Notification URL setting in your Account Preferences), or for sales of whichever particular product(s) you wish (if you use "Send transaction data to a URL" and "Payment Variable Information URL" in the relevant products' settings).]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3114/pg/1#post22356 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3114/pg/1#post22356 Tue, 4 Dec 2012 17:52:43 GMT
It's not clear.... on the Mailchimp site it makes it sound like any e-junkie transaction will grab the name and e-mail address. Not just the ones who 'opt-in'

It says " Here's what we'll grab from each E-Junkie transaction" .... first name, last name,e-mail address ......]]> E-junkie Discussions; Whistlerdan http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3114/pg/1#post22356 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3114/pg/1#post22356 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 21:02:27 GMT Thanks]]> E-junkie Discussions; Wvdl http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3114/pg/1#post22356 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3114/pg/1#post22356 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 20:51:15 GMT

If you happen to use Aweber or MailChimp for your newsletter, you may wish to integrate us with them, our checking our opt-in checkbox would effectively work the same as submitting your newsletter sign-up form:

Checkouts paid through PayPal, Google Checkout, ClickBank, 2CheckOut, or TrialPay would occur on those payment processors' respective checkout sites, so we have no control over them, but PayPal checkouts in particular do not have any opt-in/-out checkbox, so all buyers who pay by PayPal would be opted-in automatically.]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3114/pg/1#post22356 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3114/pg/1#post22356 Thu, 10 May 2012 10:57:43 GMT
I've looked at many options to sell digital goods and I keep coming back to E-junkie ... however, it is exactly that checkbox (leave it up to the seller to decide whether or not there should be a newsletter checkbox) has kept me from signing up for the service so far. I hope to see the option added soon!

We are a nonprofit and our email newsletter and list is vital to our business, and we are constantly looking for ways to increase our email list. Having this checkbox for us would be a great benefit, if we were able to see who opted-in to see OUR newsletter. We NEVER send emails to people who do not a our own opt-in checkbox. We would consider checking e-junkie's newsletter opt-in box the same. We've added a link on our thank-you page to subscribe to our newsletter, which is probably very confusing to our customers who just clicked e-junkie's newsletter opt-in.

Thank-you. I am very new to e-junkie, but I can already tell it is going to be great for our business.]]> E-junkie Discussions; Haruko_Potato http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3114/pg/1#post22356 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3114/pg/1#post22356 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 19:34:51 GMT E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3114/pg/1#post22356 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3114/pg/1#post22356 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 14:31:26 GMT
