<h3>Important Notes</h3>
This plugin supports our most powerful API 3.0 features, and is intended for users who have not yet integrated their WooCommerce stores with Mailchimp. 
You can run this new integration at the same time as your current WooCommerce integration for Mailchimp. However, data from the older integration will display separately in subscriber profiles, and can’t be used with e-commerce features that require API 3.0. 
WordPress.com compatibility is limited to Business tier users only.

Mailchimp for WooCommerce

Very basic plugin. If your needs are little, it works fine. But if you want to segment based on orders your customers made, you can only segment on basic things like product purchased, purchase date, store ordered from, etc. You can nog segment on product variations or SKUs.

No support for product variations


Good for me, and I translated in Japanese.


Good


This is the second time this plugin has collapsed my server. The first time was during a sync, and now, after archiving a large contact list in Mailchimp, the plugin started receiving an overwhelming number of requests, maxing out my server's CPU at 100%. This made my website nearly unusable and caused significant downtime.



Take care with this this plugin, it could cause serious performance problems.


Severe Performance Issues – Has collapsed my server twice

Product Manager
If you run an e-commerce store, you’ve probably spent quite a bit of time working with product information you get from suppliers. It may not sound like a big deal, but it can be a real headache for store owners. When you consider the variety of suppliers and the quality of the information they provide, it’s difficult to manage without resorting to home-grown programs or even worse – Excel or Access. These solutions may work, but they’re slow, difficult to upgrade and require a lot of manual intervention to work correctly. Until now, there hasn’t been a single consolidated system that can effectively manage your product information.
<ul>
<li>Connect your product catalog with your vendors</li>
<li>Effortlessly update pricing and inventory</li>
<li>Exclude, add, update and merge product information</li>
</ul>
