  • Fill Client ID and Client Secret values in the settings:

    SOCIAL_AUTH_MAILCHIMP_KEY = '<App UID>'
    SOCIAL_AUTH_MAILCHIMP_SECRET = '<App secret>'
    
  • Add the backend to the AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS setting:

    AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
        ...
        'social_core.backends.mailchimp.MailChimpOAuth2',
        ...
    )
    
  • Then you can start using {% url social_core:begin 'mailchimp' %} in your templates
