GetResponse has launched PayPal integration! Now you can automatically add new customers to your email campaign and start building relationships right away! All you need to do is to follow these simple steps.

Edit campaign notification settings

PayPal needs to verify the special notification email address so first you need to check that the notification and forwarding emailed is enabled in the campaign settings.

Edit notifications settings

In GetResponse, select the campaign you’d like to integrate with your PayPal account at the top right of the account.

Now go to the Statistics menu and click on Subscription statistics.

Below the Statistics option, click Email notifications link to display the settings. Make sure that Email subscriptions is checked below the Email notifications section.

Edit forward emails settings

Click the settings icon next to the current campaign. Go to the General settings tab. At the bottom of the page, click to display Advanced settings.

Make sure that Forward emails is enabled below the Forward emails section.

Note: After PayPal has verified the new email, you may wish to disable this feature so that you don’t receive an email after each new PayPal transaction.

Click Save settings at the bottom.

Edit PayPal notification settings

Log into your PayPal account and click Profile-> Add or Edit Email link.

Next click the Add button and, in the next step, enter the name of your campaign, followed by paypal@getresponse.com as a new email address. Click the ‘Save’ button.

Every email address you add to the PayPal account needs to be verified, so PayPal will automatically send each new customer a special message containing a confirmation link. GetResponse will forward this message to the email address you provided in your Settings.

Finally, please check your email and click the confirmation link. If you are asked for your PayPal password, enter it and click ‘Confirm’.

Success! The new email address has been added to your PayPal account.

Add a purchase link to messages

Now, in order to integrate the ‘Buy Now’ button into your GetResponse campaign, go to the Merchant Services section of your PayPal account.

Click to create a Buy Now button. Enter your item details, include name and price.

In the transaction notifications section choose to Use my PayPal email address. Select the GetResponse email previously added to the account.

Then click to Create button.

Choose the email tab, and copy the URL address provided.

In GetResponse, highlight some text in your message. Click the add url button and paste the link URL from PayPal.

The text is now linked. When it is clicked it will launch the PayPal transaction.

That’s it! Anyone who buys your product by clicking the button as set up above will be automatically added to your campaign! What an easy way to grow your list and jumpstart your follow-up sales campaigns!
