Note

The Mailchimp Site Tracking Pixel SDK is currently in beta. API methods and event schemas are stable but may evolve based on customer feedback.

This guide provides reference material for the Mailchimp Site Tracking Pixel client-side JavaScript API. Use these methods to track user behavior and identify visitors on your website.

About this resource

This content applies to the Mailchimp for Wix integration. This advanced guidance is recommended for users familiar with custom coding. Contact your developer, or hire a Mailchimp Expert for assistance.

Accessing the API

After the Pixel SDK is loaded on your page, access it via:

window.$mcSite.pixel.api

The API Provides two main methods:

track() Method

Sends a behavioral event to Mailchimp for analytics and marketing automation.

Syntax

window.$mcSite.pixel.api.track(eventType, eventData);

Parameters

identify() Method

Associates a known user identity (email, phone, etc.) with the current anonymous visitor. This enables Mailchimp to connect behavioral data with your audience contacts.

Syntax

window.$mcSite.pixel.api.identify({
  type: 'IDENTIFIER_TYPE',
  value: 'identifier_value'
});

Parameters

Returns

Promise<void> - Resolves when the identity association is queued.

Identifier Types

Event types

The SDK supports the following event types. Each event has specific payload requirements.

PAGE_VIEWED

Tracks when a user views a page. This event is automatically sent when autoTrack is enabled.

window.$mcSite.pixel.api.track('PAGE_VIEWED', {});

No additional data required—browser context is captured automatically.

PRODUCT_VIEWED

Tracks when a user views a product detail page.

window.$mcSite.pixel.api.track('PRODUCT_VIEWED', {
  product: {
    id: 'productVariantId-123',
    productId: 'productId-123',
    title: 'Classic Cotton T-Shirt',
    price: 29.99,
    currency: 'USD',
    sku: 'TSHIRT-BLU-M',
