What Is Mailchimp?
Mailchimp is the world's leading email marketing platform, used by millions of businesses to build email lists, design newsletters, automate campaigns, and analyze engagement. Email marketing consistently delivers one of the highest returns on investment of any digital marketing channel — averaging $36 for every $1 spent according to industry research.
Integrating Mailchimp with your business website builder creates a powerful lead capture and nurturing system. Visitors who are not ready to buy today can subscribe to your email list, and you can nurture them with valuable content, promotions, and updates until they are ready to convert. This turns one-time visitors into long-term customers.
Mailchimp offers a free plan supporting up to 500 contacts and 1,000 monthly email sends — enough for most small businesses getting started with email marketing. Paid plans unlock advanced features like automation workflows, A/B testing, behavioral targeting, and detailed analytics that help you refine your email strategy over time.
With EcomTech, you embed Mailchimp signup forms directly on your website pages using the drag-and-drop builder. Place forms in your header, footer, sidebar, blog posts, or as popup overlays. Every subscriber flows directly into your Mailchimp audience, ready for your next campaign or automated welcome sequence.
How to Set Up Mailchimp on Your EcomTech Website
Get Your Embed Code
In Mailchimp, go to Audience then Signup Forms and select Embedded Forms. Customize the form fields, style, and layout. Copy the generated HTML embed code to your clipboard.
Add to Your EcomTech Page
In the EcomTech editor, add a Custom HTML block where you want the signup form. Paste the Mailchimp embed code. Position it in your footer, sidebar, or as a standalone section.
Style and Align
Adjust spacing, padding, and alignment using the EcomTech editor controls. The form inherits your site styles by default. Customize further in Mailchimp form settings if needed.
Test the Signup
Submit a test email through the live form. Check your Mailchimp audience to confirm the subscriber appears. Set up a welcome automation to greet new subscribers automatically.
