Default Re: MailChimp - Does anyone use it? Recommend it?

I use it and think it's great. I used to have Interspire email marketer software installed on my server but it quit running on PHP7 and they weren't supporting it anymore so I thought I'd give MailChimp a try. Switched my cart back to PHP5.6, exported my 2500+ mailing list from that and turned PHP7 back on. Deleted Interspire off of my server - just one less potential portal for hacking anyway. Then I imported those into Mailchimp. When you have over 2,000 contacts you have to start paying, I pay US $35 a month. Frankly, I like this thing WAY better than the old Interspire email marketer and it's incorporated into X-Cart. I did a Cyber Monday sale and got 122 orders in one day.

Note that it mostly works well with XC 5.3.2 but there are a few bugs remaining, supposedly to be ironed out here shortly in a new update of Mailchimp module.
