Paste this API key into your eStyleCentral admin panel under General Settings -> MailChimp Integration

Go to https://us7.api.mailchimp.com/playground/ and enter your new API key, click "Lists" then click the list you'd like the abandoned cart emails to be added to. If an appropriate list doesn't exist you can create one by logging into MailChimp and clicking Audiences.

Set up Abandoned Cart Email

Proceed through the email setup and click the next button at the bottom right of the screen to go to the next step. Make sure the email is set to published.
