Hello,

I do have a few questions:
1) I tried to integrate Mail Chimp with WP eStore. I checked all the right Settings in WP eStore Settings - Autoresponder Settings. Checked both boxes, gave in the name of the list and my account information.
Any clue what I did wrong?

2) I want to add customers to specific lists with specific products. Under the Autoresponder section with the specific product I have to add the name of the list. It says this: The name of the list where the customers of this product will be signed up (e.g. listname@aweber.com, customers). Use this if you want the customer of this product to be signed up to a specific list.
What do I type? E.g. if the name of my list is Acts2day, do I type Acts2day@mailchimp.com?

Looking forward to your reply!

Shalom,
Jonathan

You just enter the name of the list as it appears on your Mailchimp account dashboard under the "Lists" menu.

So if your list name is "Acts2day" then simply use that (no need to add anything extra to the list name for mailchimp)

He Amin,

Thanks for the reply, but do still have some problems.

The situation: I have subscribe button for an e-zine on my website. People pay through Paypal and are automaticly added to Mail Chimp.

I enabled MailChimp in Autoresponder settings. I didn't want to have global integration, so I specified the specific lists people will be subscribed on in my products.
I enabled Post Payment Processing Settings: Use Automatic Post Payment Processing I checked and Use Strict PayPal Email Address Checking I checked. I don't want people to receive an email of purchase info, because we handle that through MailChimp.

When testing, nothing happened. No adding to MailChimp (or emails from MailChimp for doing so), no adding of sale in WPeStore, nothing.
I tried to debug. See here the info of the file:

[07/20/2010 9:57 AM] - SUCCESS :No Referrer Found. This is not an affiliate sale

I couldn't find the problem. Can you please help? I can provide you temporary inlog for the website.

Thanks!

Looks like this a recurring payment for a subscription... for recurring payment you don't want to subscribe the user again to your autoresponder as this person is already subscribed.

Now, the issue here is that you are testing as the same buyer so the plugin is thinking it's a recurring payment as this subscription information is already in the database Remember, in the real world you will never have a customer with two active subscription for the same product at the same time. So, basically when you are testing it out please recreate a real world scenario (use a different buyer's paypal account or delete the info from the manage customers menu) and it will go through the autoresponder signup and sending of email to the buyer.

Let me know if it makes sense.

He Amin,

Thanks for the reply! It works!

Great!

One more question: can I disable the notifications to the seller when there is a new purchase, I don't want to receive these notifications.

Shalom,
Jonathan

eStore has one option that disables the email notifications but that will disable notification for buyers too.

If you just want to turn of notification for the seller then you will need to modify a bit of code (this will be an easy modification). Couldn't you just create an email filter and filter all the notification out so it doesn't go to your inbox?

This post might be of some with setting up email filters if you are not familiar with it:

He Amin,

I prefer to modify the code a bit. Can you help me with that?

I don't want the buyers to receive an email of notification, because we are handling this through Mail Chimp. And I as a seller don't want to receive notifications of a new purchase.
Right now I have the option of email notifications to the buyer is already disabled, but as a seller I still receive emails.
Thanks for your help!

Greetings,
Jonathan

Open the "paypal.php" file and find the following bit of code:

if (get_option('eStore_use_wp_mail'))
{
    wp_mail($notify_email, $n_subject, $n_body);
    $this->debug_log('Notify Email successfully sent to '.$notify_email.'.',true);
}
else
{
    if(@eStore_send_mail($notify_email,$n_body,$n_subject,$download_email))
    {
        $this->debug_log('Notify Email successfully sent to '.$notify_email.'.',true);
    }
    else
    {
        $this->debug_log('Error sending notify Email to '.$notify_email.'.',false);
    }
}

Once you find it just delete this code and it will stop sending sales notification emails to the admin.

Thanks Amin.

I tried to delete the code, but when I do this the autoresponder is not working (so no emails from Mail Chimp) and no customer is added. Any help on this?

Jonathan
