ActiveCampaign Setup

We walk you through the quick setup of getting your EasyCart and ActiveCampaign accounts connected with this simple video.

Before You Begin

An active ActiveCampaign account is required to use this integration. If you don’t have one yet, sign up at activecampaign.com. You can also pair this integration with ActiveCampaign’s own WordPress plugins or popup tools — EasyCart focuses on the checkout-opt-in flow, but the two approaches combine for a complete solution.

Step 1 — Enable Newsletter Sign-up in EasyCart

Turn on the opt-in checkbox so shoppers can subscribe during checkout and account creation.

1

Turn on Subscribe to Newsletter

In WordPress, go to EasyCart › Settings › Accounts and toggle “Subscribe to Newsletter” to ON. This adds the opt-in checkbox to the checkout flow and the customer account creation form — every shopper now gets a chance to join your list without leaving the checkout.

Step 2 — Get Your API Credentials

Pull your API URL and Key from ActiveCampaign so EasyCart can talk to your account.

2

Open the Developer Panel

Log into your ActiveCampaign account and navigate to Settings › Developers from the bottom-left menu. You’ll see your API URL and API Key displayed here. Copy both — you’ll paste them into EasyCart in a moment.

Step 3 — Create a Subscriber List

ActiveCampaign needs a destination list before it can receive new subscribers.

3

Add a New List in ActiveCampaign

From your ActiveCampaign dashboard, select Lists in the left menu and click Add a List. Give it a clear, descriptive name (e.g. “Store Newsletter Subscribers”). This is where EasyCart will store every opt-in shopper.

Paste Credentials & Select Your List

Return to your EasyCart Settings and refresh the page. Paste your API URL and API Key into the matching fields, then choose your new ActiveCampaign list from the dropdown at the bottom. Save your settings — from here on, every checkout opt-in flows straight into ActiveCampaign, ready for your next campaign.
