Video 8. How do I integrate PayPal with AWeber?

AWeber integrates seamlessly with your PayPal account and allows you to easily move subscribers between prospect lists and customer lists when they purchase from you.

You can easily integrate PayPal with AWeber using the PayPal app located in your AWeber account, adding customers to the list of your choice, and even handling PayPal subscriptions, adding subscribers when they begin payment, then unsubscribing them when they stop.

Note: This integration supports tags via Zapier.

How do I add products to PayPal?

If you do not have any products setup in your PayPal account, then you will not be able to add subscribers to different lists based on products that they purchase. In order to setup products, you will need to create payment buttons for those products within PayPal.

Once your product payment buttons have been created in PayPal, they will show up as products to choose from in step 5 above. For more information on how to create payment buttons for your PayPal products, please visit the following article (you will only need to complete up to step 4 of the article): How Do I Add A PayPal Payment Button To My Message?

PayPal provides you with buttons for customers to purchase your products from you. You may not only want to market your products through email, but you may also want to sell your products directly through email as well.

Inserting a PayPal payment button into your message using the standard button code that PayPal provides will not work in email. However, do not worry as we have an alternative method for inserting that button that will work!
