Mailchimp – Not Showing in Magento 2.1 Backend

magento-2.1magento2mailchimpPHP

I have followed this tutorial https://mailchimp.com/resources/guides/mailchimp-e-commerce/ to install Mailchimp for Magento extension.

The extension is not showing. So, what have I done so far:

  1. I have extracted the extension zip where I get this folders: app, js, lib, shell, skin folders and package.xml. I copy and pasted this folders and files into magento root directory.
  2. Run php bin/magento setup:upgrade adn php bin/magento setup:di:compile
  3. Flush the cache
    And nothing. There is no mailchimp tab on the configuration page.
    I have successfully installed some plugins already, but they had different structure, so maybe I am missing some step.
    For the previos plugin I needed to enable the plugin via terminal:

php bin/magento module:enable Pdf_Invoice_Plus

The name was in registration.php file. I don't have registration.php file in this extension so I don't know the real name of this extension so I tried:

php bin/magento module:enable mailchimp+MailChimp_For_Magento Unknown module(s): 'mailchimp+MailChimp_For_Magento'

php bin/magento module:enable MailChimp_For_Magento Unknown module(s): 'MailChimp_For_Magento'

php bin/magento module:enable Ebizmarts_MailChimp Unknown module(s): 'Ebizmarts_MailChimp'

I am stuck. Forever.

Magento 2 extensions always have a registration.php and no js, lib, shell and skin directories. You extracted a Magento 1 extension into a Magento 2 installation. The tutorial you linked also refers to Magento 1.

Magento 1 and Magento 2 are two completely different systems, you need to find a Magento 2 specific extension.
