    Are customers added to the campaign immediately after clicking the order button whether they complete the order or not? Or are they added only after a transaction has been completed?

    If it’s added immediately, this is a problem, because people who hit the order button, but back out before completing the order, will now receive an email designed for customers only giving them access to the product without paying for it.

    These customer emails typically provide the product access information, specifically true for those selling downloadable products (software and ebooks).

    Also, to clarify, do we need to add the “+” between the campaign name and paypal@getresponse.com? The instructions didn’t say “..by including a + between the campaign and paypal@getresponse.com” but the example showed the plus sign. Please confirm.

    Not sure if they are added until they complete checkout. But, they should only get access to your product after successful checkout by the confirmation page details in the code.

    Yes, you do need to add the “+” between the campaign name and the paypal inclusion.

    Campaign name…”upsell”

    Example:
    upsell+paypal@getresponse.com

    Happy selling!

    Hi ,

    Do you know if getresponse can also integrate paypal subscriptions (ie : paypal recurring payments ) ?

    Thanks,

    “Now, in order to integrate the ‘Buy Now’ button into your GetResponse campaign, simply choose the Plain Text email address option in the Merchant ID section and select the proper address form the drop-down menu.”

    Where is the Merchant ID section? Is it in GetResponse or PayPal?

    BTW the instructions above are quite confusing to read. These “simple steps” only have “1)” step, but no step 2, 3, etc. And I need to reread it several times to find out whether to do a step in PayPal’s or GetResponse’s UI, and still confused to this moment.

    I read your blog all the time and I just thought I’d say keep up the terrific work!

    I like this approach and I have a couple of questions.

    1. Does this also work with PayPal “Add to Cart buttons?

    2. I assume I can add several different products each linked by their button options to different GetResponse campaigns. What then happens if a client adds several of these different products to their cart and then purchases them all at once? Do they get added to all the respective campaigns?

    3. What happens if a client buys one product and then comes back and buys another product linked to the same campaign?

    Thanks in anticipation,
    Andrew

    It does work :)
    Make sure to activate your autoresponder in that campaign first.

    In order to do that go to that campaign settings>>Opt-in>>Advanced settings and check “Activate Autoresponder” and save changes.

    Then proceed with the integration once again with
    autoresponder activated.

    You should then be forwarded the PayPal email from GetResponse so you can confirm the new email address.
    Click the link and you are done :)

    I’m not understanding. If you’re putting this “buy now button” into an email, aren’t they already on your email campaign? What’s the point in re-adding the same email address?

    Not to mention, I never put a buy now button in my email messages. I use a sales letter/video hosted online. Don’t most people? I’m sure I’m missing something but I’m just not seeing the usefulness of this…

    Hi Steve,

    Note that the primary function pf the Buy Now button is to make a PayPal transaction, but remember that the message can be forwarded to people who are not on your campaign yet which means you can easily add new contacts this way. Cheers,

    In the forum, it’s stated this method of integration no longer works. Instead, the forum post suggest using the steps in this PDF. http://www.getresponse.com/documents/core/pages/marketing/learning-center/product-tutorials/paypal_integration.pdf. Can you please confirm/deny and update this post as needed? Thanks.

    Hi Jesus, this method is still valid – (the post was updated some time ago) – can you please provide the link to the forum post you’re referring to? Also, we’re currently preparing a video tutorial that will show the integration step by step with the most recent screenshots and content. Will let you know as soon as it’s put together and in the meantime, let us know if you have any problems following the steps.
