Native integration
PayPal buyers on a Plandalf checkout can be tagged in Kit and dropped into an email sequence, using the same steps as card buyers.
No credit card required. No coding required.
PayPal
Kit (ConvertKit)Not directly: Kit and PayPal never talk to each other here. PayPal takes the payment on a Plandalf checkout, and the completion path that runs after a card payment also runs after PayPal, so a sequence can use native Kit steps to tag the subscriber and start their emails. PayPal refunds do not take the tag back automatically.
| Event | From and to | Through | What happens |
|---|---|---|---|
| Checkout completed | Plandalf (paid via PayPal) → Kit | Native step | The PayPal docs say the same Plandalf completion path runs as after a card payment, so one Checkout Completed sequence with a Kit Tag Subscriber step should cover both kinds of buyer. Confirm it with a sandbox payment. |
| Invoice paid | Plandalf (paid via PayPal) → Kit | Native step | Useful for writing a custom field such as plan in Kit. The Plandalf docs describe this trigger for renewals but do not say which payment methods renew, so test a PayPal-paid recurring price before you rely on it. |
| Cart abandoned | Plandalf → Kit | Native step | A visitor who typed an email and did not pay can be added to a Kit form after a wait of 5 minutes to 7 days. The docs do not describe a visitor who walks away while approving a PayPal payment, so check that case in test mode. |
| Refund in PayPal | PayPal → Kit | By hand | Invoice Refunded is documented for refunds that succeed in Stripe. After a PayPal refund, take the Kit tag off by hand, or run Remove Tag from Subscriber in a sequence you start yourself with a Webhook Trigger. |
| Subscriber joined form, tag added | Kit → Plandalf | Native step | Plandalf adds the Kit webhook when you save the trigger. Joining a form can start Enroll in Promo, which gives that person their own countdown before they reach a PayPal checkout. |
You need a PayPal Business account, a Plandalf checkout and a Kit account where you can create API keys.
Open the PayPal integration in Plandalf, connect your Business account and switch PayPal on for the offer. Leave card payment on as well so one checkout serves both kinds of buyer. Connect the sandbox environment for the rehearsal below.
In Kit open Settings, then Developer. Under V4 Keys choose Add a new key and call it Plandalf. Use the V4 key, not the legacy V3 key listed beside it.
In Plandalf go to Automation, then Marketplace, find Kit under Available now and click Connect. Paste the key and wait for Kit connected.
Under My Sequences create a sequence with Plandalf as the app and Checkout Completed as the trigger, and pick the checkout under Offer. On the Test tab choose a recent checkout so the variable menu fills in.
Add Kit, Tag Subscriber with Email Address set to {{trigger.customer_email}} and a tag such as Customer. Then add Kit, Add Subscriber to Sequence with the same email and your onboarding sequence, which must be active in Kit.
Complete an approved sandbox payment through PayPal, then open the sequence's Events view and the subscriber in Kit. If nothing ran, switch on Run on test purchases in the sequence settings and try again, then switch it off. Check the email in the Test tab sample is the address you want in Kit.
Remove access on refund reacts to Stripe refunds only. For PayPal, plan to remove the tag in Kit yourself when you refund in PayPal.
A writer sells a one-off guide to readers who would rather pay from their PayPal balance than type in a card. Every buyer gets the Guide buyer tag in Kit, and a Kit automation sends the download email and a month of follow-ups.
People join the waiting list through a Kit form, which starts a Plandalf sequence that enrols them in a promo. When they pay, by card or by PayPal, the Checkout Completed sequence swaps the waiting-list tag for a Cohort tag.
