Why Did Shopify Drop Mailchimp?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 10:42 pm

Shopify, one of the largest ecommerce platforms in the world, recently announced that it would be ending its partnership with Mailchimp, one of the largest email marketing platforms in the world. This news came as a surprise to many, as the two companies had been partners for years. So, why did Shopify drop Mailchimp?

There are a few possible reasons. First, Shopify is increasingly focusing on its own marketing tools and services.

PRO TIP: If you are using Shopify to sell products online, you may have noticed that Mailchimp is no longer an available integration. This is because Shopify has dropped Mailchimp as a partner, and is instead partnering with Klaviyo.

While there is no official reason why Shopify made this change, it is likely because Klaviyo offers more features and integrations than Mailchimp. Klaviyo also offers a 14-day free trial, so it is definitely worth checking out if you are looking for a new ecommerce email marketing platform.

Second, Shopify may feel that it can provide a better experience for its users by not partnering with Mailchimp. Third, Shopify may be looking to save money by ending its partnership with Mailchimp.

Whatever the reason, the decision to end the partnership is sure to have an impact on both companies. Only time will tell how big of an impact it will have.
