E-Commerce 360 Plugin [#556600]

Hey LouBabe and everyone,

You may have already noticed this, but Mailchimp has a new E-Commerce 360 feature that allows you to get much more detailed e-commerce data into your Mailchimp account for use with segmented mailings. You can see information about this here:

http://www.mailchimp.com/plugins/e-commerce-360/

Mailchimp has already released plugins for shopping carts like Magento, PrestoCart, OS Commerce, and ZenCart, but I'd love to see us create a plugin for Drupal's Ubercart module (http://drupal.org/project/ubercart). It could be a new sub-module called Mailchimp Ubercart.

According to the Mailchimp info page, this would give us the following features: "The plugin will track users who have followed the links in your campaign - when a user completes a purchase, the plugin will quietly send the basic details of the order - products ordered, product categories, and shipping, tax, and order totals - back to us via an API call. That data will then be available on your Campaign Reports page and eventually during segmentation when creating new campaigns."

I also think that creating the module would help us recruit a lot of Ubercart developers over to Mailchimp module development.

So does anyone else use Mailchimp with Ubercart?

Cheers,
Ben

I have an interest as well.

Right now I'm busy, but if it's not done by the time I need to use mailchimp on an ubercart site (a month or two) I'll write this myself and give a patch.

To do this, it looks like the module will need to implement hook_order and have it send some info along using the API functions already present in the module.

This seems to be covered fine by the other module. The only other action I can think of is a link somewhere on the MC module page, but that's not critical.
