Setting up YIKES Inc Easy MailChimp Extender is as simple as generating and retrieving a MailChimp API key from your MailChimp account dashboard.
In the following steps we'll outline how to generate a MailChimp API key for use in connecting your self hosted WordPress.org site with your MailChimp account. Linking up the two accounts allows for some really awesome functionality you won't find in other plugins.
Once you have your site linked to your MailChimp account, you'll be able to import forms you've previously setup, view campaign statistic data (including but not limited to click, bounce and open percentages, number of unsubscribes and more...), add edit or remove fields and interest groups from your lists and so much more.
