How to Send SureCart Orders to Benchmark Email

Benchmark Email is a email marketing platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. SureCart processes a checkout or order is completed beautifully, but sending that data to external platforms needs an integration. AFI bridges that gap to Benchmark Email.

Why not just use Zapier?

For connecting email marketing, a cloud automation service adds cost and a dependency on an external server. AFI runs on your site with no task limits.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with SureCart installed and configured.
• A Benchmark Email account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Benchmark Email to AFI

1. Log in to your Benchmark Email account.
2. Go to Settings → API and copy your API Key.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Benchmark.
4. Paste the API Key and click Save Changes.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it SureCart to Benchmark Email.

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 Benchmark Email as the destination

Choose Benchmark Email from the platform dropdown and pick Add Contact. This adds a contact to a Benchmark list.

4. Map fields

Match each Benchmark Email 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 Benchmark Email 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 Benchmark Email with unlimited orders. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-order fees on any plan.
