Why Connect Mailchimp to Wave?

Client engagement details in Mailchimp and time-tracking data in Wave do not align, making billing inaccurate

Manually copying data between Mailchimp and Wave wastes hours every week that could be spent on revenue-generating work

New team members take longer to onboard because they must learn manual workarounds to keep Mailchimp and Wave aligned

Online orders in Mailchimp and in-store inventory in Wave are never in sync, frustrating customers

Wave adds complexity: third-party integrations are minimal, with most connections requiring Zapier rather than native integrations

Mailchimp limitations compound the integration challenge: the platform tries to be an all-in-one marketing tool, but the website builder, social posting, and CRM features feel bolted on rather than integrated

How We Help

Connecting Mailchimp (crm & sales) with Wave (accounting & finance) is one of the most requested integrations among Australian Retail & E-commerce and Professional Services businesses. This integration eliminates the manual transfer of contacts and reports data, reducing errors and freeing up your team to focus on growth. On the technical side, Mailchimp uses a REST API with API key authentication, and Wave authenticates via OAuth, which our team handles as part of the build.
