Native integration
A paid Plandalf checkout puts the buyer into a MailerLite group, and a refund in Stripe takes them back out, so the group matches who actually paid.
No credit card required. No coding required.
Stripe
MailerLitePlandalf connects them with native MailerLite steps; there is no direct Stripe-to-MailerLite sync. Stripe takes the payment in a Plandalf checkout, then a Plandalf sequence finds or creates the MailerLite subscriber, adds them to a group and updates their fields. A new MailerLite subscriber can also start a Plandalf sequence.
| Event | From and to | Through | What happens |
|---|---|---|---|
| Checkout completed | Plandalf (paid via Stripe) → MailerLite | Native step | Find or Create Subscriber runs first and returns a subscriber_id. Add Subscriber to Group takes that ID, not the buyer's email address, which is the mapping mistake people make most. |
| Invoice paid | Plandalf (paid via Stripe) → MailerLite | Native step | Fires on renewals and on invoices you send as well as on checkouts, so it is the trigger for Update Subscriber Fields when a field such as plan should follow the latest payment. |
| Upsell accepted | Plandalf (paid via Stripe) → MailerLite | Native step | A second sequence can add only the people who took the add-on to a separate group, so a MailerLite automation tied to that group emails them and nobody else. |
| Cart abandoned | Plandalf → MailerLite | Native step | A visitor who typed an email but did not pay can be put in a group after a wait of 5 minutes to 7 days. The trigger has a switch to skip visitors from the EU, EEA and UK. |
| Invoice refunded | Stripe → MailerLite | Native step | Remove Subscriber from Group finds the subscriber by email and drops the group membership. They stay in your MailerLite account, and someone who was never in the group is skipped rather than failed. |
| Subscriber created | MailerLite → Plandalf | Native step | Plandalf adds the webhook to your MailerLite account through the API when you save the trigger. Pick a group to limit it, then use Enroll in Promo to start a countdown for each new subscriber. |
You need a Stripe account, and a MailerLite account on the current MailerLite (not Classic).
Authorize your Stripe account from the Plandalf dashboard, attach a Stripe-backed price to an offer and publish it. Cards are charged through Stripe and the money goes to your Stripe account.
In MailerLite create a Customers group, and any custom fields you want filled. Then open Integrations in the sidebar, choose MailerLite API, click Use and Generate new token. Name it Plandalf, leave All IPs allowed on and copy the token, because MailerLite shows it once.
In Plandalf go to Automation, then Marketplace, find MailerLite under Available now and click Connect. Paste the token into API Key. Plandalf checks it with MailerLite and shows MailerLite connected.
Under My Sequences create one called Buyers to MailerLite. Choose Plandalf, then Checkout Completed, and pick your checkout under Offer. On the Test tab choose a recent checkout as the sample so the variable menu fills in.
Add MailerLite, Find or Create Subscriber with Email Address set to {{trigger.customer_email}} and Name set to {{trigger.customer_name}}, and run its test. Then add MailerLite, Add Subscriber to Group, pick subscriber_id from the first step for Subscriber ID and choose the Customers group.
Under Automation, then Templates, add Remove access on refund for the same checkout. In its Remove Subscriber from Group step pick the Customers group. The trigger is Invoice Refunded with Full refunds only switched on, so a goodwill partial refund leaves the group alone.
Switch on Run on test purchases in the sequence settings, pay through the checkout's test link with a Stripe test card, then look at the Events view and at the subscriber in MailerLite. Switch the setting off again. Step tests change a real subscriber, so use your own email.
Each digital product gets its own checkout and its own sequence, filtered by Offer, that adds buyers to a group named for that product. The MailerLite automation on that group sends the how-to-use emails, and a refund empties the group so those emails stop.
Run one group per cohort and one sequence per cohort checkout. Reminder emails then go to people who paid for that date, and a refunded seat leaves the cohort group without anyone editing the list.
Subscribers who join the free group start a Plandalf sequence with Enroll in Promo, which gives each person their own countdown. Those who pay are added to a Paying group by Checkout Completed, and MailerLite can then stop sending them the sales emails.
