I am still having a problem with customers not hitting the UPDATE button to select their shipping option, which results in the wrong shipping amount being charged. This is occurring despite the notice in red that you inserted advising customers to update. Is it possible to create a little code that prevents the order from being submitted to PayPal until the shipping option has been updated? Or perhaps, better yet, allow a shipping option such as “Please Select ..” that inserts a “??” or “–” instead of a numerical value so that the total cost cannot be calculated until an option has been selected?

I uploaded and reactivated the latest version of the eStore plugin. Is something supposed to happen if a user selects a different shipping destination from the dropdown list or are they supposed get a message if they attempt to checkout? It does not appear that anything has changed. Currently, I have left my default shipping as “Select Country…”, which charges the customer a default amount if they do not make an alternate selection.

Fantastic! It works perfectly. And it’s great that you’ve created the possibility of signing up purchasers to different autoresponders depending on what they buy.

To answer your questions, Autoresponse Plus does not normally signup the list owner. It will allow multiple signups but it has an automatic de-duplication function also. The nice thing about Autoresponse Plus is that after you purchase it and install it on your server, there are no ongoing monthly costs to use it. Thank you so much for your help!

I want to thank you, Amin and Mike, for helping to provide an answer to the AutoResponse Plus integration question. In reviewing the previous posts I did the following:

1. I located the “eStore_auto_responder_handler.php” in the eStore editor,

2. I inserted the email address of my autoresponder (i.e. purchaser@mydomain.com) in “Add/Edit Products”-> “Autoresponder Settings” for all products,

3. I left the “Settings”->”Autoresponder Settings” section blank,

4. I inserted the code you provided earlier but changed “$autoresponderID” to “10”, which is the ID of the specific autoresponder that I use as follows:

// Autoresponder Sign up

if (!empty($retrieved_product->aweber_list))

{

$autoresponderID = 10;

$fullName = $cust_name;

$emailAddress= $emailaddress;

$httpAgent = “ARPAgent”;

$arpURL = “http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/arp3/arp3-formcapture.pl”;

$postData = “id={$autoresponderID}&full_name={$fullName}&split_name={$fullName}&email={$emailAddress}&subscription_type=E”;

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $httpAgent);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 0);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $arpURL);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postData);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

}

Now, when a customer purchases one of my products they are also signed up with the specified autoresponder within AutoResponse Plus.

There’s just one problem. Not only is the customer being signed up, but a signup email is also being sent to my autoresponder (to the email address that I entered in the Add/Edit Product), so that my WPadmin email address gets signed up to the autoresponder every time as well. I tried leaving the “Autoresponder Settings” field blank in “Add/Edit Products”, but then the customer is not signed up. I don’t know php code, so if you could help me resolve this one small problem I’d be a very happy camper!
