How to Link MailChimp to PayPal


1. Log in to your MailChimp account with your username and password.
2. Click 'Account' from the top menu, then select 'Integrations' under 'Extras.' Scroll down to the PayPal heading and click on the PayPal icon.
3. Select the list that you'd like to direct the new emails to from the 'select a list' drop-down menu. Copy the URL from the box that appears on the screen.
4. Log in to your PayPal account by clicking 'PayPal account' from the window that appears following your list selection.
5. Click 'Profile' under the 'My Account' tab within the PayPal platform, then select 'My Selling Tools.' Select 'Update' next to 'Instant Payment Notifications.'
6. Select 'Choose IPN Settings,' then paste the URL you copied in Step 3 into the box under 'Notification URL.' Click 'Receive Notification Messages,' then click 'Save.'
7. Navigate back to the MailChimp platform that should still be open in another tab. If the integration worked correctly, you should see a green dot next to the PayPal connection status. If the connection status is still listed in the red, log out of MailChimp and log back in, then navigate to 'Accounts' and 'Integrations' to check the connection status.
