DAP’s Built-In Shopping Cart vs 1ShoppingCart vs WooCommerce

Yes. How do I use it? Can you point me to the documentation on this? Also, is there the ability to have “coupon codes” for products?

Interested in whether DAP can generate or at least use coupon codes. In other words I would like to sell coupons that can only be used once. Possible with DAP?

In my case, I have dozens of products and product packages and I need to allow users to buy multiple products in a session, so that seems to me that I need now to integrate 1ShoppingCart. Before I spend that time, am I reading this correctly?

We will add coupon code support for the DAP shopping cart in the next 2-3 months.

Kim,
>> Interested in whether DAP can generate or at least use coupon codes. In other words I would like to sell coupons that can only be used once. Possible with DAP? << Yes, DAP can generate and use coupon codes. You can set max_usage per coupon.

>> In my case, I have dozens of products and product packages and I need to allow users to buy multiple products in a session, so that seems to me that I need now to integrate 1ShoppingCart. Before I spend that time, am I reading this correctly? << Correct.

But, Veena, Rajiv told me on a trouble ticket that I did NOT need to do this if I use DAP 4.0 and PayPal Pro because I could then use Add to Cart rather than Buy Now buttons and all would be well. I hope he's right and that you were answering with respect to DAP 3.x.

>> if I use DAP 4.0 and PayPal Pro because I could then use Add to Cart rather than Buy Now buttons and all would be well. << Yes, you can use the dap generated add-to-cart button for Paypal (and thats what Ravi must have told you) but if you use the DAP shopping cart that integrates with Payment Pro (to allow your customers to pay via CC) then add-to-cart is not an option regardless of whether you are on 3.9 or 4.0. We will support add-to-cart with DAP shopping cart in a future release.

Have you guys taken a look at creating an integration with woocommerce? I’ve tried to find some resources on your site for this, but haven’t found anything. Thanks!

Hi Neil,

>>Have you guys taken a look at creating an integration with woocommerce? I’ve tried to find some resources on your site for this, but haven’t found anything. Thanks! << DAP does not integrate with woocommerce shopping cart yet, but we are receiving a lot of requests from dap users for both woocommerce and stripe integration. We hope to complete the integration sooner than later. Thanks, Veena

Hi DAP Team,

I’m very impressed with your product after working 10+ hours days the past 3 weeks trying to find a solution for my needs, which DAP looks like it will fill.

I wanted to check and thought I’d post this publicly for the benefit of anybody in a similar situation…

Here’s my specifics:

* Primary site functions: sale of memberships (recurring billing required) and digital downloads. (Obviously covered by DAP well.)

* Eventual other site functions: sale of tangible products, some with variables (think “logo merchandise”: polo shirts with color and size variables, mugs and other promotional items without variable, etc.), all requiring shipping (up to and including international). (This is why I’m posting this here…I believe this might be covered by 1SC/1SA better than DAP while still allowing for the following…)

* Primary public side site content: financial/entrepreneurship info via video and transcripts (preferred provider due to pre-, mid-, and post-roll annotation/linking capabilities: Wistia), e-newsletter, blog, and social media.

* Primary protected content: similar, but upgraded/more detailed/more customized, etc.

* Preferred ESP due to integration with Wistia and Acceptable Content compliance: AWeber (my financial/entrepreneurship subject matter content is not allowed by most ESPs like MailChimp et al).

* Built-in or integration with a two-tier affiliate program integrated with as many other site/e-commerce functions as possible.

* As many “self-” or “auto-managed” functions as possible to avoid “manual labor” admin duties (i.e.- as much customer/member/subscriber/affiliate self-managing of account, CC details, upgrades, downgrades, pausing, cancellation, opt-out, etc. as possible).

* Internationalization, such as via the WP Transposh and/or WPML plugins or built-in multilingual files.

* Very much prefer Stripe payment processing; very much closed-minded to PayPal; open to Authorize.net (probably CIM), PayLeap, or 2CheckOut and perhaps similar.

* Very much want PCI ease!

* Support or compatibility for financial function automation (CSV export at very minimum) for accounting purposes (e.g.- QuickBooks, affiliate 1099s/W-9s, etc.).

* Support or compatibility with eventual site functions for event calendars, event enrollment/possible sales, appointments/bookings (with options for pre-sale or COD), support tickets and bbPress (already DAP functions), FAQs, fulfillment center outsourcing, etc.

* Support/compatibility for site function and marketing automation, such as through Zapier and/or other services like HubSpot/Marketo/Infusionsoft, etc.

* Compatibility with my current theme’s Responsive Web Design.

ANYway…it appears that DAP integrated with 1SC/1SA and AWeber and either DAP’s, 1SC’s/1SA’s, or a compatible affiliate program will be able to handle all my needs…does it appear this way to you, too?

Thanks for any info you can provide!

< < DAP does not store CC info but if you use the DAP Cart, then CC/Billing updates can be managed by the user via our user-facing 'Update CC & Billing interface' but if you use 1sc/1sa, you will have find out what they support.

Thank you very much, Veena, for your patience with my long post and your very helpful, detailed answer! DAP is definitely at or very near the top of my list as I come close to making a decision! No matter which I chose: congratulations on your excellent product and I commend your support of it!
