It is all very interesting and really important for business.

What happens if I have 2 different lists, offering 2 different products?

How do I know to which list to add them? (not me, the autoresponder).

And what happens with the original paypal address that I used until now?

Does it lose its usefulness?
Do I have to go and change it all over the place where I gave it for affiliate payments?

Many thenks,
Raluca

The problem I have found is that if the customer does not click the sign up link in the Aweber email then I don’t get to find out about the payment.

This is because the Paypal payment received email has gone to my Aweber account, which is great if the customer clicks the link in the Aweber email, but if they don’t then the only way to find out about the payment received is to check my Paypal account.

Or have I missed something..

Wow…it is a answer for my question

thanks a lot

Autoreponder’s integraton with Paypal should be a boon to new entrants. Since there are a large no of steps to be completed, could aweber consider providing a how to video, like they have provided on other topics?

This step taken by aweber with paypal and clickbank is commendable!

Would this work with PayPal recurring subscriptions as well or just Buy It Now?

Justin,

I love the integration between AWeber and shopping carts, etc., but my challenge is the same as Andy Philpot’s above. The purchaser isn’t automatically signed up to the autoresponder but, rather, they receive the verification email setup in the "List Settings -> Verified Opt-In" area.

This means the client has an extra step to go through and, if the client doesn’t opt-in:

a) they don’t receive the follow-up messages
b) I don’t receive the PayPal payment email

Any plans for AWeber to recognize purchasers as ‘automatically opted-in’ (I can’t think of a higher opt-in confirmation than purchasing an item from my site), or is this unique to PayPal and another shopping cart would integrate differently with AWeber?

I think AWeber is the best AR out there, and I’d love to see this extra functionality!

Brett.

The subscriber will be subscribed via the email method.

So, do this mean, the subscriber have to confirm their subscription?

Thanks for the additional info Justin!

Tom,

Thanks. Somehow I missed that new feature. Been kind of busy the last few months and haven’t followed the blog as much as I would like.

Anyway, this feature should be able to solve MOST users problem with confirmed opt-in and product delivery. Just create a custom confirmation email that talks about how to get the product, and as soon as they click on the link they get confirmed in Aweber and can download their purchased product.

A no-brainer and great feature. Thanks, Tom.

Ok, Gang! I am brand new here and so far loving this AR…it is the first one I have used.

I am looking to provide PREMIUM weekly content to a list of subscribers…I know Aweber will be able to deliver the content…my question is, won’t the "SUBSCRIBE" buttons from PayPal work just the same as the "BUY NOW" buttons?

Thanks from a TRUE beginner.

I had a small question. Once you have followed the steps to integrate paypal & aweber, when someone makes a purchase are they sent;

a) the confirmation email or
b) message number one

I just wanted to make sure. Thanks everyone.

So is it possible to set up a recurring paypal payment button for the autoresponder?

This is a great way to do it, except that paypal limits the number of emails I can have to 8.

If I understand this thread correctly then I’d need a different paypal address for every product (so it activates the right autoresponder), which means if I sell more than 8 products I’m outta luck.

Am I getting that right? If so — Tom, got any pull at Paypal?

Lou

I have the same issue as Lou and Mary - more than 8 products. I am assuming, given their question has not been answered that this is a limit that can’t be changed at the Paypal end.

I am wondering if Aweber could add some new functionality to parse out the product ID from the paypal email and then add the person to the appropriate list based on the product ID?

Also, a question to everyone else with more than 8 products, how have you handled this? Any suggestions or ideas for us just starting out ?

Yep, same question as Lou — that’s the roadblock right now.

I would so love to use this feature; but limiting the product number isn’t really an option.

That won’t work if you’re selling multiple products, though, Tim.

Each product has its own list, and therefore, its own aweber email.

Now, if AWeber were to create a module that could pick up on, say, the item number (which can be customized with every PayPal button created), which is a part of the content of every payment notification email, and automatically distribute the requests towards each particular list, then we’d be all set.

PayPal could send the payment notifications to one address, and AWeber systems would pick it up from there. How cool would that be?

I did all of the above, created a button, then put that button into
List A’s auto-responder message.
Once the person who receives LIST A clicks the paypal button, I then want them to be moved to List B to start receiving those e-mails (for which they’ve now paid) via autoresponder.

HOWEVER,

when I just tested the LIST A message, and clicked the paypal button, it wasn’t active. How do I create a ‘clickable’ paypal button that’s in the autoresponder msg?

>That is not possible at this time, no. You would need to manually import subscribers who were signing up for a recurring subscription via PayPal.<

is this still the case? or has there been an advance with this?
i have subsription sales to multiple products, will I need to manually put them into each list after they pay, and how will i know when they have stopped paying? to unsubsribe them?

Hi Justin,

I’ve read this comment thread, but I’m hoping yet another request might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back here.

First, I love Aweber — it has been a perfect product for me so far. You people do great work and the service is a pleasure to use.

I use a PayPal subscription button as a way of offering a 30-day product trial. Customers are billed 99 cents for the first 30 days, then full price if they like the product.

Before I introduced trial pricing, I was using a Buy It now. This worked great — customers instantly receive a confirmation message, then get added to my list of customers so I can send customers-only mailings to them through Aweber. So far so good.

But now I’m looking at manually importing these leads one at a time. They lose the instant response feature and I have to perform this task manually — and keeping the product held back until they verify is the only effective way to opt them all into the customer list. The current situation is a hack solution that seems unnecessary.

Please consider adding PayPal subscription functionality, at least to the sign-up process. I’m sure the people publishing weekly newsletters etc. won’t mind having to process unsubscribes manually — at least this solution would get them halfway automated. (And me fully automated.)

Thanks for all you do, and keep up the great service.

"The problem I have found is that if the customer does not click the sign up link in the Aweber email then I don’t get to find out about the payment."

Is there a solution to this? I didnt know about a payment until the buyer clicked the confirmation link a week later! How can we can get confirmation of payments even if the buyer doesnt click the confirmation link from aweber?
