Designing To Sell

The Sellout blog with best practices, tips and tricks for better e-com sales


Import Email Lists into Sellout with our 1-click Importer

We have added a simple email list importer to import your customer emails lists from Mailchimp, Campaign Monitor or Constant Contact with one click. You can also import customers from a CSV file, or just copy and paste the emails addresses in. Simple.

This means you can expand the power of Sellout to all of your customer email lists, not just customers in your store's database.

Go to Customers, and scroll down to the import option you would like.

Copy and Paste

To Copy and Paste, just paste the email addresses you would like to import, one per line. You can also paste names, directly after the email address.


Your imported email address automatically are added to your list called Manually Entered.

Import CSV

To Import email addresses from a CSV, open your CSV file and delete the columns you don't need. Then click Choose file, choose your CSV, and click import list. Then Match up the Email Address field with email address, and First and Last Name fields with the correct fields. All other fields should have Skip Column against them.



Mailchimp, Campaign Monitor and Constant Contact

To import lists from Mailchimp, Campaign Monitor or Constant Contact just click import list for the newsletter provider you use. You will get a login screen, login with your newsletter provider details.


Now you should see a list of all your Lists in your newsletter provider. Tick the boxes against the lists you would like to import. Each one will be imported as a separate list (don't worry, you can delete them afterwards if you make a mistake). Once you've selected the lists you want to import to Sellout, click import and you're done. If your lists are large it will take a few minutes while import runs in the background.

Edit and Delete Lists

You can also delete lists, or individual customers. Just click the (x) button on the list to delete the list, or the click into the List Name and click the (x) against the individual customer to delete them from Sellout.
