Step 2) Install the app from the Shopify app store

Step 3) Installation page

Your now forwarded to the install page. Click the blue button 'INSTALL APP'.

Step 4) Configure the app

A) Export existing customers
You may already have customers and subscribers and want to export them to SendinBlue. Use this step to export existing data.

CAUTION: existing customers in SendinBlue are going to be unsubscribed when they don't have the 'accept marketing' checkbox in Shopify. So make sure they are saved in a different SendinBlue list.

B) Configuration for Subscription submitted -> use our URL (only for non-sectioned themes)

The steps for this tutorial differ depending on whether you are using a sectioned or a non-sectioned theme. To figure out whether your theme supports sections, go to the theme's Edit HTML/CSS page. If there are files in the Sections directory, you are using a sectioned theme. Non-sectioned themes were released before October 2016, and do not have files in the Sections directory.

If you are using a sectioned theme, new contact who subscribed through your section signup form will automatically add to your Shopify customer section. If you are using non-sectioned theme, then you can use this URL as a custom Form Action URL in case your Shopify theme only supports Mailchimp integration (Non-sectioned theme).

You can paste this URL in Shopify in the Mailchimp form action URL field when editing your theme's footer.
