Native integration
A paid PayPal order on a Plandalf checkout can create the subscriber in MailerLite and add them to the group your welcome automation listens to.
No credit card required. No coding required.
PayPal
MailerLiteNot as a direct sync. MailerLite does not read your PayPal account here. PayPal takes the payment on a Plandalf checkout, then a Plandalf sequence runs native MailerLite steps: find or create the subscriber, add them to a group, update their fields. It works with current MailerLite only, not MailerLite Classic.
| Event | From and to | Through | What happens |
|---|---|---|---|
| Checkout completed | Plandalf (paid via PayPal) → MailerLite | Native step | Find or Create Subscriber, then Add Subscriber to Group with the subscriber_id it returns. The PayPal docs route completion the same way as a card payment, which is why this one sequence is expected to serve both. Verify with a sandbox payment. |
| Invoice paid | Plandalf (paid via PayPal) → MailerLite | Native step | Update Subscriber Fields with a MailerLite field key, for example a last_purchase field you created first. Renewal behaviour for PayPal-paid prices is not described in the docs, so test before relying on it. |
| Refund in PayPal | PayPal → MailerLite | By hand | Remove Subscriber from Group exists, but the Invoice Refunded trigger that normally runs it is documented for Stripe refunds. Run it from a sequence you start with a Webhook Trigger, or remove the group in MailerLite. |
| Subscriber created | MailerLite → Plandalf | Native step | Plandalf adds the MailerLite webhook for you when you save the trigger. Limit it to one group, then use Enroll in Promo so each new subscriber gets a deadline before they check out with PayPal. |
You need a PayPal Business account, a published Plandalf checkout and a MailerLite account on current MailerLite.
Connect PayPal from the dashboard and enable it on the offer, keeping card payment as the fallback. Connect the PayPal sandbox environment as well, since you will rehearse with it.
In MailerLite open Integrations, find MailerLite API and click Use. Choose Generate new token, name it Plandalf, leave All IPs allowed and create it. The token is shown once, so copy it.
Go to Automation, then Marketplace, find MailerLite under Available now, click Connect and paste the token into API Key.
Under My Sequences start a sequence on Plandalf, Checkout Completed, limited to your offer. Add MailerLite, Find or Create Subscriber with Email Address {{trigger.customer_email}} and Name {{trigger.customer_name}}, and run its test.
Add MailerLite, Add Subscriber to Group. For Subscriber ID pick subscriber_id from the previous step; do not paste an email. Choose your Customers group, which should start a MailerLite automation.
Complete an approved PayPal sandbox payment and look at the Events view, then the group in MailerLite. If the sequence stayed quiet, turn on Run on test purchases in its settings, repeat, and turn it off again.
A designer sells Notion or Canva templates and wants every buyer, PayPal or card, in a Template buyers group. The MailerLite automation on that group sends the download link and later a cross-sell for the next pack.
A group called Members receives the monthly digest campaign. The checkout puts new members there on payment. When someone refunds through PayPal, the seller removes the group by hand so the digest stops.
