ActiveCampaign Integration

The ActiveCampaign Integration package allows you to integrate Wix Stores with the e-commerce marketing automation service, ActiveCampaign.

With this package you can set up a 3rd-party integration (connection) for your Wix Store in ActiveCampaign. When a customer submits payment for a new order in your Wix Store, the order information is sent to ActiveCampaign. ActiveCampaign creates a customer profile with the order information, or adds the order information to the existing customer’s profile.

Setup

Before using the package, set up the following:

ActiveCampaign Platform

  1. Go to the ActiveCampaign site and complete the registration process, or sign in if you already have an ActiveCampaign account.
  2. On the dashboard, go to Settings > Developer and get the following information from the API Access section:
    • URL
    • Key

Wix Platform

Secrets Manager
  • Open the Wix Secrets Manager and create a new secret with the name velo-activecampaign-key. Store your ActiveCampaign key in the secret.
Wix Stores
  • Add a Wix Store to your site.
Configurations

Do the following in your config.json backend file to create a connection from your Wix Store to ActiveCampaign:

  1. Set the apiAccessUrl value to your ActiveCampaign API Access URL.

  2. Set the properties of the initData object to the values specified below.

    • service: The name of your service (for example, Wix Store).
    • externalid: The ID of your store. Must be a string (for example, ’myWixStoreId’.
    • name: The name associated with the account such as your company name (for example, ’Toys Store’).
    • logoUrl: The image URL of your store logo.
    • linkUrl: Link to a URL where your integration can be managed. For example, you can link to the Wix Store Products page in your Dashboard. The link is for tracking purposes.

Note that the information you define in the config file will be displayed as follows in your ActiveCampaign Integrations panel once you finish creating a connection. To get to the Integrations panel, on the left side of your dashboard click Settings > Integrations.
