Hey all,
If you take payments through PayPal, you can now pull your customers straight into Constant Contact. No export, no spreadsheet needed.
The PayPal integration brings in contacts from your PayPal Business transactions: invoices, online checkout, point of sale, subscriptions, donations, payment links and buttons, and shipping. You get first and last name, email, phone, address and tags. Email is required, so anyone without one gets skipped.
To set it up:
Go to Integrations, search "PayPal" and click the card.
Click Connect, then Refresh to bring up the PayPal login.
Log in, click Next, then Agree and Connect.
Click Import contacts and map your fields.
Pick the PayPal category, the list they go into, and how often it syncs.
Choose overwrite or merge, name the job, check the authorization box and click Import.
A few heads-ups:
You need a PayPal Business account.
It's a one-way sync. PayPal sends data to Constant Contact, nothing goes back.
Only completed or authorized transactions come over. Refunds and unclaimed payments don't.
What are you selling through PayPal right now? Invoices, donations, in-person?
