Use WPOS to connect WordPress and Mailchimp, manage audiences, prepare campaigns and configure subscriber workflows with the right account permissions.
A signup on your site is only useful when it reaches the audience you intended. WPOS can work with Mailchimp audiences, campaigns and automations alongside WordPress, so you can describe the form, the audience and the next step in one place.
A Mailchimp account with at least one audience. Without one there is nothing to add subscribers to. Admin or Manager role. Viewer and Author roles cannot modify audiences or send campaigns. Your server prefix, the region code in your Mailchimp URL, for example us19.
Open Mailchimp in Settings → Connectors. Enter the server prefix from your Mailchimp account URL, such as us19, then complete Mailchimp sign-in and authorization. Confirm that WPOS can see the intended audience.
Use this WordPress signup form with our newsletter audience. Show the field mapping and preserve the audience’s opt-in settings.
Submit a test signup and inspect its audience and subscription status in Mailchimp. A pending subscriber may be waiting for double opt-in confirmation.
Use the connected account for a specific task, with the permissions and plan available to you.
Add and manage audience records as part of a defined subscriber workflow.
Create a campaign for the audience you select, then review its content and recipients before sending.
Set up a welcome automation for new signups using the Mailchimp features available on your account.
Export audience data for a specific reporting or review task without rebuilding the list by hand.

A Mailchimp connection does not start sending campaigns or process every signup by itself. Configure the form handoff, audience, opt-in behavior and automation separately.
The server prefix is wrong. Log in to Mailchimp and copy the region code from the address bar, then disconnect and reconnect with the correct value.
Create one in Mailchimp first, under Audience, then Create Audience.
The audience uses double opt-in, so Mailchimp sends a confirmation and waits. This is correct behaviour, not a fault.
