Hey Dappers!
We hope you enjoyed our drip tease (8 pre-launch videos) of the DAP 4.7 features 🙂 . We also know that you are eagerly awaiting the DAP 4.7 release announcement!
The wait is now over!
We’re super thrilled to announce the BETA release of DAP v4.7 and LiveLinks v1.11.
An incredible amount of time and effort went into this one – so we’re really excited about this new release!
There are a ton of new features and improvements that will make DAP much more fun to use.
PLEASE NOTE:
The updates are free for DAP users with current access to upgrades & support.
If your access has expired, you might want to consider signing up for our unbeatable, Platinum Membership (a.k.a “Netflix of Plugins“).
If you are a PLATINUM member, you will receive FREE access to all our Wicked Cool Plugins and DAP Upgrades/Support for life.
OR you may renew your yearly access to DAP Upgrades/Support here.
Please note that this is a BETA release.
If you have a LIVE Web Site with active subscriptions and members, then hold off on installing DAP 4.7 BETA until we release the FINAL version in about 3-4 weeks. But if you’d rather not wait and decide to go ahead with the upgrade, please know that we are here to help!
Also, if you want us to work with you on a call to upgrade and test, you can purchase 1-on-1 time with us.
These new features, updates and integrations were based on your invaluable feedback – so thank you for that.
BTW, NOW is a great time to promote DAP as an affiliate! DAP is now available for purchase as a subscription. You will earn ongoing lifetime recurring commissions for the subscription signups!
Now without further ado, let’s dive right in and take a look at what our awesome new DAP 4.7 release offers:
DAP Doctor has arrived! Meet the Doc and you will leave with a smile 🙂
We are constantly looking to improve DAP and make it even better for our customers. Based on our experience working with thousands of customers, we usually know just by your problem description, what might have caused the problem. So with the upcoming release of DAP, we’re taking tech support to a whole new level, and we’re launching a fully automated, game-changing new tool for DAP that will allow you to troubleshoot various site related issues – like member access, content protection, email, caching – all by yourself, with just a few clicks, without ever having to open a support ticket.With this new tool (watch the video to find out more!) we’re betting that our support ticket response times are going to get slashed drastically – which means less waiting for you to hear back from us – because this powerful do-it-yourself tool will let you troubleshoot many issues instantaneously as they arise.
This tool is ONLY available to our Platinum members but as a small token of our sincere appreciation for you, as well as for all DAP users who have stayed with us for years, and have continued to support us with your purchases and renewals, we are giving it away to all current DAP users for FREE! As long as your access to DAP support/upgrades is current (click here to find out), you will have access to this new awesome tool called “DAP Doctor”.

With DAP Pay, you can do member’s area upsell for existing members with 1-click of buy button. No CC or Billing info required.
Very powerful stuff!
You can use DAP Pay to sell new products, product renewals, or even membership renewals and upgrades with just 1-click. You can publish these special buy buttons on ANY member page. And even if someone has already been a member for weeks or months, they can still purchase your new product or membership upgrade with just 1 single Click, without having to re-enter all of their credit card or billing information. DAP does not store CC info in the database so you do not have to worry about PCI compliance issues.
The only prerequisite is that the existing member should have purchased atleast one product using DAP Shopping Cart => Stripe on your site.
If you do not use the DAP shopping cart integrated with Stripe to sell your products, then this feature is not applicable to your site.

Have you heard about ActiveCampaign? If not, you might want to do so because they have fast gained reputation as one of the best ‘Email Marketing & Automation’ platform that helps connect your email campaigns, social marketing and website traffic.
We have had a number of Dappers request ActiveCampaign integration recently, so we’re happy to announce that this integration is included in DAP v4.7.
The email integration will work both ways:
DAP => ActiveCampaign
ActiveCampaign => DAP.

“I haven’t even purchased DAP yet but I’m already promoting it to others on the Xenforo Forum”
See here: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/using-with-dap.84511/
Cheers! Van
We have added full-fledged and seamless integration with XenForo in DAP 4.7.
You can control forum access at ‘membership-level’. Your users will be automatically logged-in to the forum when they login to DAP.
You will love this integration.

If you are selling primarily digital products, then you probably won’t need WooCommerce. The DAP Shopping Cart (it’s FREE with your DAP purchase) itself is very powerful, supports a wide range of payment processors, and also supports 1-Click Upsells, Member’s-area Upsells (DAP Pay) and Coupons.
(BTW, we are working on a NEW responsive template for the checkout page that will make the DAP Cart even better! Can’t wait to release it!)
However, if you are selling physical products, need an eCommerce store and store front, WordPress themes that come integrated with a store, need physical-product features like color, quantity, state and sales taxes, quantity discounts, VAT, size, etc – then WooCommerce is the answer!

DAP is probably the only membership plugin that supports auto-login with CB. Unlike other membership plugins where the users *must* click on the ‘Access My Purchase’ button after their purchase or risk ending up with ‘no membership account’, you do NOT have to worry about this if you use DAP.
We have a backdoor that ensures that users will get instant access to their main purchase as well as any upsell purchases even if they closed the browser without clicking on the access my purchase link.

DAP is one of the few membership plugins (or maybe the only one) that supports auto-login with JVZoo. Your users will have instant access to all of the purchased products/content regardless of whether they purchased one product or multiple products (upsells) in your sales funnel. The users will NOT have to wait for a welcome email with their login credentials.

When a user completes purchase of your WSO using WSO Pro, DAP will automatically create the membership account, allow user access to the product and send out the thank-you email configured under the DAP products page => Notification tab with the login details.
But your users do NOT have to wait for the welcome email. DAP will also display the membership credentials (login url, username and password) on the final landing page after WSO Purchase is complete, to the buyers.

If you are on DAP version 4.7 (or above), you can define how you want the username to be generated for your members. It’s configurable.
Please watch the video here for more details.
DAP will use the options you select for username generation instead of defaulting it to firstname + lastname.
This will apply to Free Registration as well as Paid Products. DAP will use the generated username to sync to WP and to the FREE WP based forums like BBPress, Buddypress, Mingle, SimplePress etc. This should eliminate all ‘username conflict issues causing WP sync to fail’ going forward.

If you are on DAP version 4.7 (or above), make sure to check out the new search and email tracking features we have added to the DAP System => Job Queue.
Please watch the video here for more details.
In DAP 4.6.2, we added a user-facing ‘subscription cancellation’ feature for transactions processed by Paypal/Authorize.net.
In DAP 4.7, we have added a user-facing ‘subscription cancellation’ feature for transactions processed by Stripe.
See this document for more details
DAP Admins will no longer have to login to Authorize.net or Paypal or Stripe to cancel a user’s subscription.
Click on the transaction Id hyperlink in DAP Users->Manage page to get to the Edit Transaction page.
If the payment transaction is from Paypal or Authorize.net or Stripe.com, and if it’s a subscription product, a new CANCEL button will show up right next to the Refund button in DAP Admin -> Edit Transactions page.
See this document for more details
In DAP 4.7, we have added a new access expiration option.
You can now set the Expiration Action in DAP Products page -> Cancellation & Expiration tab to “Set end date to previous day”. It will allow DAP to move forward the ‘access window’ while making sure that the user’s access is still expired. This way if the same user re-signs, their access will be current and not stuck in the past.
We have implemented this feature using the DAP hourly cron. The hourly cron will automatically trigger the ‘expiration action’ on the expired users of the products. We recommend that you enable this option ON a test product first. DO NOT use this option on an actual live product until you fully test it. Create a new user account using dap admin => add users page and give the user access to a test product. Then update the user’s access start/end date manually to a date in the past (expire the user’s access) to test the expiration feature. Enable the expiration action to ‘Set end date to previous day’ for this product. Then at 10:00 PM in the night, the cron will get a list of users with expired access to products and it will apply the ‘expired action’ set for each product.

If you are on DAP version 4.7 (or above), you can integrate DAP with an affiliate network called Clicksure.
The integration is very straightforward and will work for one-off as well as subscription products.
DAP can process NEW SALE, REBILL, REFUND and CANCEL transactions from Clicksure.

If you are on DAP version 4.7 (or above), you can integrate DAP with Ultracart.
UltraCart is a sophisticated, top-tier e-commerce platform for online sales of products, digital content and subscriptions.
UltraCart integrates with your entire ecommerce business, including shopping cart, payment processing, marketing & affiliate management, shipping systems, product fulfillment, and accounting systems.
If you want to use UC as your ecommerce platform and DAP as your membership plaform, you will be able to do that using this new integration between UC => DAP.
