Do I need to have a MailChimp Account?

Yes, you can register one for free at MailChimp.

Do I need to already have lists configured?

Yes, you can configure them through mailchimp. All the plugin needs is your list id and api key.

Where do I find my API Key?

From your MailChimp Dashboard go to Account > API Keys and Authorized Apps. There you will need to add a key if you do not already have one. For more help visit The API Key Help Article

Where do I find my List ID?

From your MailChimp Dashboard go to Lists. Under the specific list you want to make a signup form for, click Settings > List Settings and Unique ID. For more help visit The List Id Help Article

Hey, my checkboxes are not appearing in the active Fields options. What gives?

Mailchimp only supports the following fields from the "FIELDS & MERGE tags"

• Text
• Number
• Radio Buttons
• Drop Down
• Date
• Birthday
• Address
• Zip Code
• Phone
• Website
• Image

Unfortunately, checkboxes is not currently an option. We will implement in our plugin as soon as MailChimp offers it as option from their API.

My Information isn't showing up when people subscribe!

You're likely using an old version of the plugin. Please update to the latest version and import your list data.

My list data was changed/the form isn't showing up since the 2.0 update, what gives?

Due to the code overhaul required for the features of the new version, the structure we were using to save data had to be completely changed over to conform to the MailChimp schema. The old unique ids that the plugin gave to lists have been deprecated. The custom fields that you have are now pulled in from the MailChimp servers. If your form isn't showing up with the shortcode, just copy and paste it again to fix this issue.
