One-Time Offers (OTO)

OTO’s are now part of DAP. And they’re available for free to all DAP users.

This OTO script can also be used for making Upsells and Downsells too!

Only thing you have to remember is, that these won’t be 1-Click Upsells or 1-Click Downsells.  If you want true 1-Click Upsells, then do check out our plugin, Upsell-Tree, which allows you to do exactly that.

The Basics

1. There is a file in your dap folder, called continue.php . This is the OTO script.
   
2. Create and upload as many upsell and downsell pages – named, say, upsell1.html, downsell1.html, upsell2.html, downsell2.html – etc and store them in your root folder – the folder where your home page is (not in the dap folder).

Setting up continue.php

When you set up your buy button, after the sale, configure the “return url” to be:

http://YourSite.com/dap/continue.php?url=/upsell1.html

Of course, you should have already created a page called upsell1.html and uploaded it to the root of your web site (where your home page is).

So after your buyer has purchased your product, and arrive at this first upsell page, the URL they see in their browser will actually look like…

http://YourSite.com/dap/continue.php

They will not see the text “/upsell1.html” in the url, because continue.php would have already stripped out the file name from the end of the link.

So even if they bookmark it or share it with others, the URL they see will just be http://YourSite.com/dap/continue.php – which means they can’t get back to that page, and neither will the people they have shared the link with.

On each upsell page, you can make any offer you want. Let’s say you put the buy button on this upsell page to buy a different product. Now when you create the buy button for this new upsell product, make sure the “return url” for that button, is now…

http://YourSite.com/dap/continue.php?url=/upsell2.html

And you can also put a “No Thanks” button on each of these upsell pages, which could in turn take them either to a downsell page, or to an order completion page (where you thank them for your purchase).

Button Code For “No Thanks”

If your “No Thanks” button is going to lead to a downsell page, then here’s the code:

<form action=“http://YourSite.com/dap/continue.php?url=/downsell1.html” method=”post” >
<input type=”submit” value=”No, Thanks. I’ll skip this special offer” />
</form>

If your “No Thanks” button is going to lead to a final thank you page, where there are no more upsells or downsells, and where you simply thank your buyer for the purchase, then the code for that is:

<form action=“http://YourSite.com/dap/continue.php?url=/thankyou.html” method=”post” >
<input type=”submit” value=”No, Thanks. I’ll skip this special offer” />
</form>

Yes, you do need to be just a little bit technical for this. So, if you absolutely did not understand anything written above, then you should probably not be attempting to be doing OTO’s.

But if you simply have questions about how to use this for what you’re thinking to do, please feel free to ask them in the comments below.

Paypal Website Payments Pro Integration

IMPORTANT: PLEASE NOTE

The latest version of Paypal Payments Pro (called PAYFLOW) is not compatible with DAP and Recurring Billing Cycles, You will have to open a Paypal account with the older version of their Payments Pro Merchant service that is compatible with DAP. Please make sure to use the older version of PPP which has to be specially requested through their support team. In a future DAP release, we will make it compatible with the new version of PPP.

Please read this for more on Payflow and Paypal Payments PRO :

http://www.digitalaccesspass.com/forums/threads/1044-Recurring-transaction-failed-in-paypal?highlight=payflow

This post includes information about generating buy buttons for Paypal Website Payments Pro. It also has information about setting up 1-Click Upsells.

Even if you don’t wish to do upsells, you should follow the setup instructions in this page, for integrating your site with Paypal Website Payments Pro .

What you need before you can use this plugin

1. You need a Paypal Website Payments Pro merchant account with Recurring Billing enabled.
2. You must have SSL (secure server) enabled on your web site. Ask your web host to enable SSL for your site.
3. You must have a working version of DAP 4.2+.
4. Login to the DigitalAccessPass.com member’s area and download the file, DAPShoppingCart.zip .
5. Unzip it to  your desktop. It will unzip the files to a new folder on your desktop, called “DAPShoppingCart”.
6. Upload all the files inside, directly to your “dap” folder on your web site. DO NOT upload the folder itself.
7. After the files are uploaded, check to make sure that you find the files checkout.php and checkout-submit.php (just to name 2) directly under the dap folder. If you don’t, then you haven’t uploaded the files to the right directory.

Installation & Setup

1. Enabling Instant Payment Notification (IPN) within your Paypal account.

   a) Log in to your Paypal account and click on the “Profile” link.
   b) Go to Instant Payment Notification

   

   c) If IPN is already enabled, and you already have a URL in that field, then skip ahead to Step 2.
   Else, if IPN is not already enabled, then click on “Choose IPN Settings”

   

   d) On the next screen, in the Notification URL field, enter…
   http://YourSite.com/dap/dap-paypal.php

   Don’t forget to replace “YourSite.com” with your actual web site’s domain name.
   e) Make sure “Receive IPN Messages” is selected.

   

   f) Click on “Save”.

2. Enable “Auto-Return” and “Payment Data Transfer”

   Log in to your Paypal account.

   Go to Profile.

   Click on Website Payment Preferences

   Turn Auto Return to On (see image below)

   Set Return URL to http://YourSite.com/dap/dap-thankyou.php

   Scroll down further to the Payment Data Transfer (optional) section

   Set Payment Data Transfer to On

   Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, and then Save the changes.

   You will now see a green check mark image, with a long string of characters on line 2. That is your Paypal Identity Token. Copy that string.

   Go back to DAP Dashboard > Setup > Config > Payment Processing > Paypal Identity Token field, and enter this string there, and save it.

   

3. Log in to your Paypal account and retrieve the following 3 pieces of information:
   Paypal API Username
   Paypal API Password
   Paypal API Signature
4. Now log in to your DAP Dashboard and go to “Setup > Config“. Click on the “Paypal” link in the sub-menu at the top. The current page will then skip to the “Payment Processing: Paypal” section about half-way down the page.
   The current page will then skip to the “Payment Processing: Paypal” section about half-way down the page.
   
5. Fill out items (1) through (10). 
6. Into fields 7, 8 and 9, enter the Paypal API Username, Paypal API Password, and Paypal API Signature that you noted down earlier.
7. This step applies to you only if you are already using 1ShoppingCart with DAP (if not, skip to next step):
   Be sure to disable the “Email Order” cron job from your web hosting control panel (“Cron Jobs” screen), because you don’t want your orders to be double-processed.
8. We’re going to assume that you’ve already setup the pricing and recurring options on the Products/Levels > Manage page, on the Pricing & Recurring tab.
9. Now click on Payment Processing > Generate Buy Button on the DAP Admin Main Menu.
10. Switch to Auth.net & Paypal Pro tab.
11. Select the product name for which you wish to generate the buy button. Sections 1 and 2 are self-explanatory.
    
    
12. If you want to put the shopping cart page right within a WordPress page, then do this…
    a) Set the Payment Success Page to point to the page where you want users to be redirected upon purchase. It can be your login page, or a static thank-you page that informs the buyer to check their email id
    b) Create a WP Page with the title Checkout containing the tag %%DAPCART%% tag and publish it. The permalink of this page would now become https://yoursite.com/checkout. Remember to add the “s” to “http” to make it “https://”. This page is not something you should access directly, but only through clicking a buy-button.
    c) In the above screenshot, where it asks for “Checkout Page in WordPress”, enter the URL of your new checkout page from Step (b) above. Replace yoursite.com with the name of your site.
    NOTE: The checkout page URL should start with https (SSL-enabled) and not http.
13. When done with sections 1 & 2, at the bottom of section 2, click on the Generate DAP Shopping Cart Button Code
    This generates the buy button HTML code for your product, which you can then directly paste into your sales page. When you click on this link, you will get a pop-up that shows the actual HTML code for your button. The price, trial price, and recurring options are all taken from your Product settings. So make sure you have saved your Product changes before you click on this link.
14. Here’s what the HTML code looks like:
    <form name="DAPCartPaymentForm" method="post" action="https://yoursite.com/dap/checkout.php">
<input type="hidden" name="payment_succ_page" value="http://yoursite.com/members/"/>
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Bronze Members" />
<input type="hidden" name="is_submitted" value="Y" />
<input type="hidden" name="btntype" value="buynow" />
<input type="hidden" name="is_last_upsell" value="N" />
<input type="hidden" name="payment_gateway" value="paypal" />
<div align="center"><input type="image" src="https://yoursite.com/dap/images/addtoorder1click.jpg" width="200" height="100" border="0" name="submit" /></div>
</form>
15. Put the button code on your sales page. Now click on the button, it will take you to the checkout page (if you customized the checkout page as per step 12 above, then you’ll be taken to https://yoursite.com/checkout).
16. Enter the CC details and other info and hit submit.
17. The purchase will complete and DAP will redirect you to whatever you set in the Payment Success Page in the button.

That’s it for Paypal Pro button generation.

1-Click Upsells

1. If you’re doing upsells, the only thing you need to do is, look for the “payment_succ_page” field in the above form.
2. Point it to the URL of your Upsell offer. This can be either a static HTML page, or a WordPress Page.
3. On the upsell page, if you want to upsell say, Product B, then make sure you set up Product B ahead of time in DAP, and set up the price and recurring options. Then generate the buy button code for Product B and have it already published on that page.
4. You can repeat this process for unlimited upsells, downsells and one-time offers. No limits.

 

Creating Custom Header & Footer for Checkout Page

You can either use the standalone cart page, and then customize the header and footer.php file.

Or you can put the cart right within a WordPress page on your site, so the cart will then take on your theme’s look and feel, and look like it were completely a part of your wordpress site.

Header & Footer for Stand-alone Cart page

To create custom header and footer, create two files by name cartheader.php & cartfooter.php

Upload them to the dap/inc/ folder.

Whatever HTML snippet you put in the above two files will show up as header & footer on the check out page.

Shopping Cart Overview

See http://www.digitalaccesspass.com/doc/dap-shopping-cart-overview/

 

Summary

While it looks like a LOT of steps, that is only because we have to explain the steps in detail so they are clear. In reality, it is very simple to set up, and starting from scratch, if you have DAP & SSL already installed, it shouldn’t take you more than 1/2 hour to set up your 1-Click Upsells/Downsells/OTO’s. And if you’re not using Upsells/Downsells, then it can be done even faster.

If you have any further questions, feel free to open a support ticket, and we will assist you in getting this going.

Buy Buttons, 1-Click Upsells, Downsells & OTO’s using Authorize.net

Selling through Authorize.net, 1-Click Upsells, Downsells and One-Time Offers (OTO’s) are all now extremely simple to implement using the new Shopping Cart Plugin for DAP.

This post explains how to create buy buttons for selling through Authorize.net.

Your site visitors never have to leave your site in order to make a purchase, if you are selling through Authorize.net. DAP itself will act as your shopping cart, and buyers can checkout and make purchases by staying right on your web site.

The DAP Shopping Cart itself is your actual shopping cart that connects to Authorize.net. You need to install this plugin whether you wish to accept one-time or subscription payments via Authorize.net, or whether you wish to do Upsells, and Downsells.

What you need before you can use this plugin

1. You need an Authorize.net merchant account
2. If you want to sell subscription-based products, then you also need Automated Recurring Billing (ARB) enabled in your Authorize.net account.
3. You must have SSL (secure server) enabled on your web site. Ask your web host to enable SSL for your site.
4. You must have a working version of DAP 3.5+.

Installation & Setup of UpsellTree

1. You need be using at least DAP v3.5 for this.
2. If you haven’t installed DAP already, then install DAP first.
3. Log in to our member’s area and download the plugin file, DAPShoppingCart.zip .
4. Unzip DAPShoppingCart.zip to your desktop. It will unzip the files to a new folder on your desktop, called DAPShoppingCart.
5. Upload ALL of the files inside, DIRECTLY to your “dap” folder on your web site. DO NOT upload the folder itself – just the files inside.
6. Log in to your Authorize.net account, and go to the “Settings” page.
7. Click on Silent Post URL.
   
8. On the next page, set the URL field, to  http://YourSite.com/dap/dap-silentpost.php . Be sure to change the text “YourSite.com” to your actual domain name. Click “Submit”. It will take you back to the Settings page.
   
9. On the Settings page, now click on the “API Login ID and Transaction Key” link towards the bottom.
   
10. On the next page, make a note of your “API Login ID” and “Transaction Key” on a piece of paper (or copy/paste it into a text file). That page also lets you create a new Transaction key or modify your existing one.
11. That’s it for Authnet.
12. Now, log in to your DAP Dashboard on your side, and go to “DAP Admin > Setup > Config > Payment Processing“.
13. Enter the “API Login ID” and “Transaction Key” that you noted down earlier (Step #9 above) into the respective fields, and click  “Update” next to the fields to save the changes.
    
14. This step applies to you only if you are already using 1ShoppingCart with DAP (if not, skip to next step):
    Be sure to remove the “Email Order” cron job from your web hosting control panel (“Cron Jobs” screen), because you don’t want your orders to be double-processed.
15. Go to the Products > Manage.
    
    A) Product Price: For a 1-time purchase product, this is the product’s purchase price. For a recurring product, this is the “recurring” price (what the customer gets charged month after month).
    B) Trial Amount: This is only if there’s a trial amount. If no trial, leave this empty.
    C) Recurring Count: How long is your subscription? If you said “Forever”, then enter the number 9999 here. If it ends after 6 months, then enter 6 here.
16. Set these fields to valid values.
17. NOTE: The DAP Authorize.net allows 1 trial. So in the recurring cycle fields, make sure “Payment/Trial Period #2” and “Payment/Trial Period #3” are both the same (set to same number of days: like 30). Example below shows the setting for a “7 day” trial period, followed by recurring payments every “30 days”.
    
18. If you are not offering a trial, then just set the Trial Amount to $0.00. But if you really wanted to offer a FREE TRIAL, then you must set the Trial Amount to at least $0.01 (1 penny).
19. Once you’ve saved the product, you can now click on any of the two new “Generate… Button Code” links that are located right below the product list combo box.
    
20. “Generate Authnet Buy Button” link:
    This generates the buy button HTML code for your product, which you can then directly paste into your sales page. When you click on this link, you will get a pop-up that shows the actual HTML code for your button. The price, trial price, and recurring options are all taken from your Product settings. So make sure you have saved your Product changes before you click on this link.
    
21. Here’s what the HTML code looks like:
    <form name="generate_authnet" method="post" action="https://www.contentresponder.com/dap/buy.php">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Example Subscription Product"/>
<input type="hidden" name="description" value="This is a dummy Subscription Product with a monthly subscription - payments every 30 days." />
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="1.00" />
<input type="hidden" name="trial_amount" value="0.01" />
<input type="hidden" name="total_occurrences" value="9999" />
<input type="hidden" name="is_recurring" value="Y" />
<input type="hidden" name="recurring_cycle_1" value="30" />
<input type="hidden" name="recurring_cycle_2" value="30" />
<input type="hidden" name="recurring_cycle_3" value="30" />
<input type="hidden" name="payment_succ_page" value="https://www.contentresponder.com/dap/continue.php?url=/dap/upsell1.html" />
<input type="hidden" name="payment_gateway" value="authnet" />
<input type="hidden" name="is_submitted" value="Y" />
<input type="submit" value="Buy Now" />
</form>
22. If you’re doing upsells, the only thing you need to do is, look for the “payment_succ_page” field in the above form. By default it is pointing to:
    https://www.contentresponder.com/dap/continue.php?url=/dap/upsell1.html
23. Modify the “upsell1.html” file within your dap folder, to make your 1-Click Upsell offer. Or if you don’t wish to use 1-Click upsells, you can make just about any kind of upsell offer on that page. The upsell1.html that comes with the plugin has a sample upsell page already created for you, just so you get an idea of what that will look like.
24. On the upsell page, if you want to upsell say, Product B, then make sure you set up “Product B” ahead of time in DAP, and set up the price and recurring options. Then for upsell products only, click on the “Generate Authnet 1-Click Upsell” link to generate the 1-Click Upsell Buy button code, as the upsell buy button is slightly different than the ‘regular’ buy button code. Now take the upsell buy button code like you did before, and paste it in upsell1.html. That’s it.
25. You can repeat this process for unlimited upsells, downsells and one-time offers. No limits.

That’s it.

While it looks like a LOT of steps, that is only because we have to explain the steps in detail so they are clear. In reality, it is very simple to set up, and starting from scratch, if you have DAP & SSL already installed, it shouldn’t take you more than 1/2 hour to set up your 1-Click Upsells/Downsells/OTO’s. And if you’re not using Upsells/Downsells, then it can be done even faster.

If you have any further questions, feel free to open a support ticket, and we will assist you in getting this going.

DAP -vs- The Competition

How does DAP fare when compared to the competition?

We have created a WordPress Membership Plugin Review Chart to help you decide for yourself.

All Facts. No Opinions. Fair as fair can be.

Obviously, we don’t know our competitors’ products as well as we know ours.

So if we missed something, then do let us know below and we’ll do our best to fix any errors and/or omissions asap.

Modify Content Under Padlock

When your visitor encounters a “Sorry, you’re unable to access this content” page that has the DAP Padlock image on it, you can customize the text that shows up below the padlock by doing this:

1) Open the file error.php that is stored in the /dap/inc/ folder.

2) RENAME it as (or COPY it as) customerror.php.

3) You can put ANY kind of HTML content within this. Images, javascript, css,, buttons, text, whatever. Any HTML can be used in this file.

4) Upload this new file customerror.php back to same folder /dap/inc/

5) error.php doesn’t matter any more. Whether you delete it, or just leave it alone, the fact that there is a customerror.php file in the same directory means that DAP won’t even bother about error.php any more.

6) Future updates of DAP will not touch your customerror.php file. So updates or upgrades will not mess with your custom error page copy.

Merge Tags For WordPress Posts & Pages

Here are the merge-tags that you can use in your WP posts, and what they mean. (Click here for merge tags for Autoresponder & Broadcast Emails)

[DAPLoginForm]

This is better suited for a WP “page”. This text will be replaced by a login form using which your members can log in to your membership site.

%%AFFDETAILS%%

This will be replaced by the entire Affiliate section from the default home page at YourSite.com/dap/ . Better suited for a Page.

[DAPUserProfile]

This will be replaced by the user profile from the default home page at YourSite.com/dap/. Better suited for a Page.

[DAPMyContent]

This will be replaced by the user links section (the list of what products and what links user currently has access to) from the default home page at YourSite.com/dap/. Better suited for a Page.

%%FIRST_NAME%%

This will be replaced by the first-name of the user.

%%EMAIL%%

This will be replaced by the email id of the user.

%%AFF_LINK%%

This will be replaced by the raw affiliate link of the member. If you want it to show up as a link in your blog post, use it like this:

<a href=”%%AFF_LINK%%”>%%AFF_LINK%%</a>

%%USER_NAME%%

This will display the DAP user’s “Username” on the page.

%%USER_ID%%

This will display the DAP user’s ID on the page (ID is a number).

%%FEEDLINK%%

%%PRODUCT_DETAILS_<insert-product-id>%%

Replaces merge tag with Product-specific details (including links available to the member as part of that Product) on a specific WordPress page/post.

%%DAPCUSTOMFIELD_<insert-custom-field-name>%%

You can display the value of the user’s own custom fields on your pages, using a merge tag like this:

%%DAPCUSTOMFIELD_tax_id%%

In the above example, tax_id is the custom field that you have created in DAP. So if the name of the custom field in DAP were “ssn”, then the above merge tag would become %%DAPCUSTOMFIELD_ssn%%

[DAPUpline]

Displays data of the user’s “upline” affiliate.

[DAPComingSoon]

Displays upcoming drip-feed scheduled content.

Login/Logout Widget

DAP has a Login/Logout Widget that you can use in any widget-ready theme.

Log in as WP admin, and look under “Appearance > Widgets”.

You’ll see the widget. Drag this widget on to any customizable part of your theme.

The widget puts the DAP login form right on your sidebar.

When a user is not logged in, they will see the login form.

When they are logged in, they just see a “Logout” button.

3

The “Unlimited” License

Using the Unlimited License

With this license, you can install and use DAP only on web sites you ow (as an individual or business entity).

This includes (but not restricted to)…

1) You CANNOT use it for a “JV” (say a partnered membership site) with another business owner. Example: You tell your partner, “You bring the content, I’ll bring the membership software”. Not allowed.

2) You CANNOT use it for your clients’ web sites, say, if you are a web , designer or virtual assistant (or perform any kind of services for clients).

3) You CANNOT redistribute, re-purpose, re-package the license in any way whatsoever. It is strictly to be used only on sites you own.

4) If you want to install DAP for clients, feel free to use your own affiliate link to purchase a license on their behalf, and you can bill them separately. Don’t forget to use a unique email id when purchasing a license on somebody’s behalf, so that we can track it as a new sale and give you the correct affiliate credit for the sale. Or you could also simply give your affiliate link to your client, and ask them to sign-up for DAP using that link.

5) When you buy this license for yourself, installation is free only for the first web site. Additional installations can be purchased for just $19.97 per installation, or you could do it yourself.

Additional Comments

* When you purchase the unlimited license, you own the license for life. But you get free support and updates for 6 months.

* While the software itself will never expire, your ability to get free support and upgrades does expire after 6 months. At which time, you may sign up for our extremely affordable Upgrades & Support program. But again, this is optional. You don’t have to sign up for anything or pay us another penny ever again if you don’t want support or upgrades after 6 months.
