The problem it solves

Manually emailing a file to every customer after they buy a digital product is tedious and easy to forget, especially outside business hours. Customers who don't get their purchase right away start emailing you asking where it is.

Who it fits

A business selling digital products like templates, guides, or files through PayPal.

How it works

  1. Triggers the moment a PayPal payment is completed
  2. Pauses briefly to make sure the payment has fully processed
  3. Looks up the order details and confirms which product was purchased
  4. Pulls the customer's name and email and identifies the right file to send
  5. Sends a branded email with the file attached and links to other offerings
What you get

Digital files delivered the instant payment clears

The moment your customer pays through PayPal, they receive their file by email along with suggestions for what else they might like to buy.

What you get

An automatic, branded delivery email with the purchased file attached.

What you need

A PayPal business account and an SMTP email account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
