Mailchimp – Back In Stock Notifier for WooCommerce

Mailchimp is the Add-on for Back In Stock Notifier. The main purpose of this add-on is to sync out of stock subscribers to mailchimp automatically. There are two ways of sync process applicable in this add-on where one is Instant Sync and another is Batch Process Sync. After activate this add-on any new visitors subscribed to the product will sync their email to mailchimp instantly. In addition to that if your site has already n number of subscribers we sync their emails through batch process. We run background process for every 5 minutes, we sync 10 subscribers at a time(for every 5 minutes) using batch process in which your old subscribers sync to mailchimp in ease.

In any case if you update status in subscriber lists (Ex: Subscribed Status to Unsubscribed Status or Unsubscribed Status to Subscribed Status) we trigger those event as well and sync appropriate status to that email in mailchimp. We also display information in list table in the column named as “Mailchimp Synched” which has value either YES/NO, if details synched to mailchimp will display YES otherwise NO
