eStore – recurring payments and MailChimp integration

[Andrew Keith]

Hi,

I have a couple of questions on using the recurring billing/payments feature for a product in eStore:

1. Can I add someone to a MailChimp mailing list when they purchase a subscription? If so, where is the email address collected? Do I need to have a field for this on my order page?

2. If my subscription button is on an order page, is it possible to collect other information such as name and email address and pass this to PayPal so that the fields are pre-populated?

Thank you in advance for your help.

1. Can I add someone to a MailChimp mailing list when they purchase a subscription? If so, where is the email address collected? Do I need to have a field for this on my order page?

A: You can add people to a mailchimp list as follows:

a) globally to a single specified list via the eStore “Autoresponder Settings” section

b) on a per product basis where you can specify a mailchimp list which differs to the global list in a). Simply edit the product and go to the “Autoresponder Settings” for that product where you will see a field called “List Name”

You do not need to manually collect email addresses because eStore will automatically use the customer’s email address at the time of purchase.

2. If my subscription button is on an order page, is it possible to collect other information such as name and email address and pass this to PayPal so that the fields are pre-populated?

A: I’m not sure why you would want to collect name and email address to pass to PayPal because eStore will automatically do this for you during the purchase process.

I recommend that you watch some of the videos here regarding subscription button setup:

Thanks Peter that’s really useful.

Could you help me with another question, I emailed the support team about this but haven’t had a reply yet. Basically I’m already using eStore on a client’s website (I’m a web developer) and need to use it on another project for a different client. Do I need to purchase the plugin again for the new site? I wasn’t sure of the licence requirements. I don’t own either of the websites.

Many thanks.

Hi, yes you need to purchase a separate license for each of your clients. More details here:
