Description

The Sendy extension connects Easy Digital Downloads checkout to your self-hosted Sendy installation, adding an opt-in box to the purchase form and automatically sending the customer’s email to the selected list. Recommended for digital stores already running Sendy as a newsletter application on Amazon SES, the module eliminates manual contact export and keeps the subscriber base aligned with sales processed by EDD.

    Each purchase becomes a new subscriber without manual spreadsheet imports.
  • Interest-based segmentation
    Lists separated by product reflect the real profile of each buyer.
  • Independence from email SaaS
    Keeps contact control in own infrastructure over Amazon SES.

Who Is It For?

  • Digital stores already maintaining their own Sendy installation and wanting to feed it with Easy Digital Downloads buyers.
  • Digital product sellers seeking to reduce email marketing costs by migrating to Amazon SES.
  • EDD businesses needing to segment communication by type of downloaded product.

For merchants running Sendy on a private server and selling digital products through Easy Digital Downloads, the add-on eliminates back-and-forth between dashboards and turns each sale into a newly segmented contact. The integration keeps the post-sale funnel predictable, with always updated lists and no need to export CSV or set up external connectors to sync buyers with the email marketing base.
