Benefits for the seller of digital products

The Easy Digital Downloads AWeber integration significantly accelerates customer communication and enables effective marketing campaigns. Automatically adding buyers to relevant lists eliminates the need for manual data export and import, saving time and reducing errors. Purchase-based segmentation facilitates sending personalized offers, cross-selling, and upselling, and creating autoresponder funnels targeted to specific customer groups. Furthermore, the integration helps maintain high levels of audience engagement through relevant and valuable messaging.

Practical applications

• Selling eBooks and Online Courses: Automatically assign buyers to a welcome or course sequence
• Theme and plugin developers: Send installation instructions, upgrade offers, and cross-promotions
• Photographers and Designers: Send bonus materials and offers on related products
• Digital agencies and freelancers: manage client lists by order type or service package
• Media Stores: Segmentation by Purchased File Categories and Preferences

How the setup works

After installing the Easy Digital Downloads AWeber add-on, a section appears in the WordPress dashboard allowing you to connect your AWeber account via API. Users then select a target list, map EDD form fields to AWeber fields, set opt-in options, and define rules for assigning tags or segments based on products. A one-time synchronization of an existing customer database is also possible, ensuring data consistency from the very first moment of implementation.

Security, Compliance and Performance

The plugin transmits data using secure API connections, minimizing the risk of information loss. User consent features (checkboxes) and double opt-in options enable campaigns to be run in compliance with applicable data protection regulations. Minimum technical requirements include an active WordPress environment, Easy Digital Downloads installed, and an AWeber account. Thanks to asynchronous API calls, operations do not significantly impact store load times.
