Send Regular Email using MailChimp in Laravel

I'm using "spatie/laravel-newsletter" to subscribe users on signup. That is working fine. But now we need to send email to users when they purchase anything from our website.

I'm not able to find a way how can we send emails like we are currently sending from Laravel code using Gmail account from MailChimp.

Any lead would be helpful, what needs to be done on MailChimp dashboard side, what package of laravel might be useful and how we can send emails with it. Thanks!

The spatie/newsletter package is only to send marketing emails from your laravel application. Mailchimp offers a separate PHP library https://github.com/mailchimp/mailchimp-transactional-php that can be used to send transactional emails using Mailchimp.

The documentation on this package should show you exactly what you need to do on the Mailchimp Dashboard and how you configure your app to send an email through Mailchimp

Transactional Emails are emails that you send that are event based (purchases, user registrations, etc).

Promotional emails like Newsletters are part of marketing emails.

I hope that clarifies and helps with your email configuration on your Laravel application.
