Alternative email address instead of PayPal address for Autoresponder

[rydale13]

Hi,

I LOVE this plug-in! However I have a problem…

The problem I have is when people purchase my digital product using the PayPal checkout system, the PayPal email address is used to add them to my Autoresponder list (MailChimp)

This would normally be fine, however my business works with other businesses. (I run a marketing company) Most peoples PayPal accounts are registered to their personal email, so the autoresponder will be sending messages to their personal account and NOT their business email accounts. BIG problem!

For example their PayPal accounts are often registered as a gmail/hotmail/etc account and their business email address would be something like info@businessname.co.uk

As for my question…

Can I customise the checkout process so when people checkout (before PayPal) they specify their chosen email address, and THEN checkout through PayPal as normal? (Similar to the Squeeze page as they specify their own email address)

Then use that self submitted email address for their Autoresponder entry instead of their PayPal address.

That way I can ensure the right business email address has been added to my MailChimp lists and NOT a personal email account.

Possible?

There is no built in option in eStore for what you are after so you will need a custom job. If you are a developer then yes you can modify the code to do this. If you are not a coder then we can do a custom development for you (please use the contact form to get a quote).

An alternative option might be to just separate the mailchimp integration slightly. Rather then automatically signing up your customers after Payment with their PayPal email address you can place a squeeze form (just for mailchimp signup purpose) on the “Thank You” page. So after the purchase when the customer land on the “Thank You” page you can instruct them to use the squeeze form with their business email address and it will sign them up at that stage.
