Synchronization of Contacts

Once your Mailjet account is connected to the PrestaShop platform, an initial transfer of all PrestaShop contacts will be done. This includes:

  • Registered customers, who sign up for the newsletter upon registering or by editing their account settings
  • Non-registered users, who use the PrestaShop subscription form

The transferred information will include:

  • For registered customers - email address, first and last name
  • For non-registered users - only email address

All of those contacts will be added to a ‘PrestaShop Customers Master List’ in your Mailjet account. You can find it afterwards in your Mailjet Contacts page.

The master list will automatically be updated with new entries for customers who subscribe to the mailing list, or non-registered users who use the PrestaShop subscription form.

Note

If at any point new or existing unsubscribed customers subscribe (or are manually subscribed from the Prestashop admin), they will automatically be added to the list. If a customer unsubscribes or their account is deactivated, the contact will be removed from the contact list altogether. The purpose is to keep the master list as clean as possible, in order to avoid any issues with deliverability, spam complaints etc.
