Set up your cart abandonment flow with Mailchimp by activating it on Checkout X and installing ShopSync on your Shopify store
Checkout X gives you several options to choose from for setting an abandonment cart. One of them is our own cart abandonment builder. But the most popular and used one for this purpose is Mailchimp.
Using Mailchimp gives you access to creating advanced email funnels, detailed metrics on your emails performance and a powerful visual editor which is drag and drop for creating quick email designs and the look and feel of your emails.

**Sending cart abandonment email.**When a customer enters his email address on your checkout and abandons it without buying anything from you, Checkout X will save the email and give it to Mailchimp, so that the automatic cart abandonment email from Mailchimp can be sent.
The automatic abandonment cart email will be sent to your Mailchimp Queue in 15 mins after the cart abandonment action is triggered.
Checkout X works with automatic cart abandonment emails, which you can set up in Mailchimp.
Cart Recovery MetricsYou need to know that when using a 3rd party integration like Mailchimp with Checkout X your cart abandonment metrics and emails will appear in Mailchimp, not Checkout X!
**I have a cart abandonment campaign in Mailchimp and I use it in Shopify.**If you already set up a campaign in Mailchimp and use it in Shopify, you can skip this step and go to the next section, finding out how to connect Mailchimp integration in Checkout X.
**I don’t have a Mailchimp cart abandonment campaign.**Our checkout will provide Mailchimp with your customer’s email so that Mailchimp can send the automatic cart abandonment email. That’s why we will first set up a cart abandonment campaign and after that connect Mailchimp integration in Checkout X.
