Yes, you’d have to import them separately to MailChimp.
If it’s the same email address the user has in your site, I’m pretty sure the transitions would work. Maybe the list would also need to match, I’m not sure. You could test it.
I’ll ask Jason too.
I hope that helps. 🙂
Here’s what Jason said:
“Yes, so long as the email matches they are good. That said, a list transition only occurs if they were on the previously configured list at the level they were at. So for instance, if the user is a Level 1 Member, they should be added to the List ID that is configured in s2Member for Level 1. This way when a transition occurs in the future, s2Member will attempt to remove them from that list configured for Level 1 Members. If that removal is successful (this occurs behind-the-scene via API communication) they are moved to a new list that is perhaps a different List ID configured at Level 3. Just an example of course, but that demonstrates how transitions work.”
Thanks for the quick response.
If you are using S2M and MC, and you want a future synchronisation, you might be interested in this plugin:

This will allow the members to make chances to their profile in MC and those changes will be made to S2m and vice versa.
