Download Changes with A-Weber

[lois]

I just learned that new changes were implemented using A-Weber in the past few days. Two purchasers notified me they did not receive the download instruction page after purchasing. I phoned A-Weber who said that new email parser system began a few days ago and that may be why my download instruction page is not appearing.



Can anyone help me with this? My set up was, payment through PayPal then a form appeared to register for the book that went into my A-Weber list. After that, the instruction page came with download instructions. A-Weber guy said to contact e-junkie for how to fix this now.



Thanks,

From what you describe, if you were directing buyers after checkout to a thank-you page where they were expected to manually fill out an Aweber sign-up form, that would have no relation to our built-in Aweber integration nor the recent changes to that.



However, if you wish to have all new buyers automatically subscribed to your Aweber list (no manual form-submission necessary, the buyer just receives a confirmation email from Aweber with an opt-in link to confirm their subscription), see our current Aweber integration instructions here:

HI Tyson,



Thanks for that. In May I had a webmaster recommended by e-junkie create this process for me. He worked with Robin and A-Weber as what I wanted wasn't offered by AW. He created a registration page they completed after purchase with name, phone, street address. I received email notice of that. A double-opt in won't give me that info. When they submitted that form, the download instructions came next. I paid for this process to be created.



The last two purchasers did not receive the registration page or the download instructions. Nothing followed. The AW guy assumed it is failing because of recent email parser changes. I am not sure that is the reason. It failed once a few months ago and ab AW tech fixed the link. From what you personally know, do you think these changes will prohibit me from using this process? I'd go to the trouble of having someone trouble shootif I thought it could stay the way it is set up.



Thanks very much,



Lois

If you were not using our standard Aweber integration, then the recent changes to their parser probably don't affect the setup you were using. The Aweber person you contacted probably just heard "E-junkie" and perhaps assumed you must be using our standard integration, since we had recently collaborated with them to establish the new integration method.



BTW, it is possible to combine our standard Aweber integration along with having the order data automatically sent to your URL for further processing by a custom script; have your Developer consult the end of the integration page I linked earlier for details. This would eliminate problems such as the buyer entering inaccurate information in your form or failing to choose to continue past the end of Checkout to reach your form page (since PayPal does not redirect automatically).
