Oliver POS doesn't have a partnership with AWeber. It supports AWeber because AWeber ships an official WooCommerce sign-up plugin that already syncs opted-in customers from WooCommerce into AWeber lists. Oliver writes every in-store sale into WooCommerce as a normal order — and when the cashier captures email + marketing consent at the counter, that customer lands in AWeber on the same path an online checkout opt-in would. AWeber does the newsletters and autoresponders. WooCommerce is the system of record. Oliver is the till on top.
What AWeber is, exactly
AWeber is one of the original autoresponder platforms — founded in 1998 — popular with small businesses, course creators, and content brands. Its strength is delivery reputation, ease of use, and decades of trust with small-business and creator audiences. AWeber is intentionally simpler than Klaviyo or HubSpot: the platform a creator or independent retailer chooses when they want newsletter and autoresponder sends without the complexity of an e-commerce marketing-automation tool.
The AWeber Newsletter Subscription plugin for WooCommerce adds an opt-in checkbox to the WooCommerce checkout and syncs opted-in customers into a designated AWeber list. AWeber then handles the autoresponder series, broadcast campaigns, and segmentation from its own platform.
How Oliver POS feeds in-store sales into AWeber
The AWeber WooCommerce POS flow inside Oliver:
- The cashier rings the sale on the Oliver register and taps Charge.
- Oliver prompts to attach a customer including the marketing-consent toggle.
- The cashier takes payment through whatever WooCommerce payment gateway the store uses.
- Oliver writes the WooCommerce order against the customer and stores the consent flag.
- The AWeber plugin sees the new customer + consent and adds them to the configured AWeber list.
- The shopper enters the AWeber welcome series, receives the next broadcast, and is segmentable by anything AWeber knows about them.
The AWeber WooCommerce plugin — what Oliver rides on
Oliver rides on the official AWeber Newsletter Subscription for WooCommerce plugin. Setup mirrors any other AWeber onboarding: install the plugin, authorize the connection to your AWeber account, choose the list, and let the integration handle opt-in sync.
Why pushing in-store customers into AWeber matters
AWeber doesn't need deep e-commerce data to do its job — it primarily cares about contacts and lists. What in-store sales add is the contact itself. A shopper who only ever buys at the counter would never appear in AWeber from the online checkout opt-in. With Oliver POS, the cashier can capture the same email-and-consent at the register, and AWeber adds the contact to the list automatically through the WooCommerce sync.
For a content brand or creator whose AWeber list is the business — the platform for course launches, broadcasts, affiliate offers — adding in-store buyers to that same list is the difference between a small physical-retail experiment and a fully integrated brand.
What this is NOT
Oliver POS is not an AWeber partner. There's no co-marketing agreement, no revenue share, and no special pricing. Oliver doesn't insert itself between WooCommerce and AWeber. Oliver doesn't charge a markup or per-contact fee. Your AWeber account is entirely between you and AWeber.
Setup in 4 steps
- Install the AWeber Newsletter Subscription plugin and authorize the connection to your AWeber account.
- Choose the AWeber list to receive opted-in WooCommerce customers.
- Install Oliver POS, sign in to the register, and confirm the customer-capture prompt with marketing consent is enabled at checkout.
- Run a small live test sale at the counter with consent ticked and confirm the contact appears in the AWeber list within seconds.
FAQ
Does AWeber receive full order data from Oliver POS sales?
The plugin's primary job is contact sync — it adds the customer to AWeber on opt-in. For order-level data and segmentation by purchase behaviour, a heavier platform like Klaviyo or ActiveCampaign is a better fit; AWeber on its own keeps the list simple and growing.
Can I use AWeber alongside another email platform for transactional emails?
Yes. WooCommerce sends the receipt and order confirmation via its own transactional mailer (or via a service like Postmark or Brevo's transactional API), and AWeber handles the marketing newsletter. The two don't collide.
Does Oliver POS partner with AWeber?
No. AWeber is supported because it ships an official WooCommerce sign-up plugin that any WooCommerce store can install.
Does Oliver charge extra to use AWeber?
No. Oliver's pricing is a flat monthly POS software fee. You pay AWeber directly.
Will my online + in-store customers be one AWeber subscriber?
Yes. AWeber matches by email; Oliver POS attaches the WooCommerce customer to every register sale, so the shopper has one AWeber subscriber spanning online and in-store activity.
