How to Send SureCart Orders to Mailgun
Mailgun is a email delivery platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. If you want SureCart orders synced to Mailgun, you could pay for a cloud automation service. Or you could do it directly from WordPress. This is the direct route.
Why connect directly?
Cloud automation tools like Zapier charge per task and route your data through external servers. AFI processes everything on your WordPress site. No per-order fees, no external dependencies.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with SureCart installed and configured.
- A Mailgun account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Mailgun to AFI
- Log in to your Mailgun account.
- Go to Settings → API Keys and copy your Private API Key.
- In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Mailgun.
- Enter your domain and API Key, then click Save.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it SureCart to Mailgun.
2. Pick your trigger
Select SureCart as the form provider. AFI fires when a checkout or order is completed, giving you access to customer details, product information, and order totals.
3. Select Mailgun as the destination
Choose Mailgun from the platform dropdown and pick Add Mailing List Member. This adds a member to a Mailgun mailing list.
4. Map fields
Match each Mailgun field on the left to the corresponding SureCart field on the right. Common mappings include customer name, email, product details, and order total. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.
5. Add conditions if needed
Only want to send certain orders? Set up a conditional rule based on any field value.
6. Save and test
Click Save Integration. Place a test order in your SureCart store. Check Mailgun to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.
Free vs Pro
The free version maps email and name to Mailgun with unlimited orders. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-order fees on any plan.
