How to Set up Download of a Free Product

[kimmy]

I am using GetResponse Autoresponder, and have created an opt-in box. When people opt-in, I want to send them to a free download. I have uploaded the free download into my cpanel already. Is there an easy way to integrate the Wp-estore plugin to do this? Thanks.

Using the appropriate shortcode, you would use either a Download Now, or Squeeze Page Form button…

Hi kimmy,

The download link is generated by and ultimately sent by the eStore plugin after a person has filled in the form of your squeeze page for example. (This is independent of your GetResponse list email)

I’m assuming you’ve already configured your GetResponse details in your settings:

Note: that eStore can automatically add people to your GetResponse list if you check the “Global GetResponse Integration” flag.

I am a bit confused about something still though, Peter. I wanted to use the Getresponse webform I created and placed as a widget in my sidebar. Then when someone submits his/her email in the Getresponse webform, and they confirm their suscription, an email is sent back by GetResponse providing the download link. Is that where they would be then sent to my squeeze page. And wouldn’t they end up on my email list if I check the Global GetResponse Integration flag?

Hi kimmy,

There is no need to put a signup form for your GetResponse list – the integration with eStore will take care of your list signups.

GetResponse can’t generate and send the download link email – eStore will do that.

Here is the flow of events of a typical eStore/autoresponder integration for your free download scenario:

1) Visitor arrives on your website and sees a blog post or a message in your sidebar about a free download.

2) They click on the link and get taken to a blog post (or a page) and in here you will have a squeeze form which they fill in with their details.

(this page will contain the shortcode for the squeeze-form of your free product)

3) An email is sent by eStore to your client with the download link

4) Your client is automatically added to your GetResponse list (or, GetResponse may send an opt-in email to your client)
