Adding users automatically through E-Junkie/PayPal?

Hello,

I'm not a coder but I wanted to ask that question here before asking someone to look deeper into both systems.

I am planning to use E-Junkie and PayPal to sell digital files online. I'm considering using Tender as the support system and I think it would be great if after purchasing through E-Junkie and PayPal, an Tender account for the client would be created automatically.
The point is, that the only thing the user enters in the process is his e-mail address on paypal.com. So obviously, a password would have to be generated (I would love to send it in the thank-you mail E-Junkie sends immediately after the purchase but I guess that isn't possible). However, I'm not even sure if it's possible to somehow get the e-mail address out of PayPals payment process and get it into Tender. As far as I know, E-Junkie doesn't offer any kind of API so that probably wouldn't help either.

Any ideas if and how this would be possibly? :)

Thanks,
Lennart

   Hey Lennart. I'm sorry, but that type of workflow isn't going to be possible.

   Okay, was worth asking though. ;)
   Would it work if E-Junkie had some kind of API?

   You can create a user in Tenders API, so it's possible

   Hey Lennart, what you can try to do is use the Send Generated Codes option in E-junkie to generate the passwords and then you can setup your E-junkie account to send data to Tedners using our integration feature. They would need to be able to accept PayPal style IPN data to get the transaction information, and it would include the code and the buyers e-mail address.
