Leveraging Multiple Affiliate Networks

DAP is so powerful and flexible, that you can sell access to your membership through different payment processors, all at the same time.

And we often get asked how to leverage different affiliate networks like ClickBank and JVZoo and Warrior Plus at the same time while making sure no affiliate commissions are lost, and every affiliate gets credited their commissions for sending potential buyers to your site.

The Big Picture

1) If buyer arrives ONLY through DAP affiliate link, and ends up purchasing through ANY payment processor, then DAP affiliate will get credit.

2) If buyer arrives ONLY through CB affiliate link, and ends up purchasing through CB payment processor, but the buyer has a different DAP affiliate’s cookie from a link he clicked on at some point before (but did not purchase at that time, say), then both CB affiliate and DAP affiliate will get credit (double commissions on same purchase, but to two different affiliates).

If there’s no DAP cookie on his computer, then only CB affiliate will get the commission.

If the DAP affiliate “chains” two of his own affiliate links – his DAP affiliate link and CB affiliate link – like shown below, then same affiliate will get both CB commission as well as DAP commission. Again, double commissions but to same person.

3) If buyer arrives ONLY through JVZOO affiliate link, and ends up purchasing through JVZOO payment processor, but the buyer has a different DAP affiliate’s cookie from a link he clicked on at some point before (but did not purchase at that time, say), then both JVZOO affiliate and DAP affiliate will get credit (double commissions on same purchase, but to two different affiliates).

If there’s no DAP cookie on his computer, then only JVZOO affiliate will get the commission.

If the DAP affiliate “chains” two of his own affiliate links – his DAP affiliate link and JVZOO affiliate link – like shown below, then same affiliate will get both JVZOO commission as well as DAP commission. Again, double commissions but to same person.

The Right Setup For Multiple Affiliate Networks

To make sure that you’re not paying double-commissions on purchases, and also to make sure that sales don’t get lost between affiliate networks (and your affiliates losing their commissions in the process), you have to set things up the right way.

The main thing to do, is to create a separate set of the following for each affiliate network:

• A separate DAP product
• A separate Sales Page
• A network-specific buy button on that sales page
• If it’s a product that is sold through CB or JVZoo or DigiResults (or any of the affiliate networks), then DO NOT set up commissions for that Product in DAP. So that will prevent you paying a commission to, say, a CB affiliate as well as a DAP affiliate for the same purchase.

So the net effect of this, is…

If a CB affiliate sends traffic to a page, that page must have a CB buy link ONLY on that page. If you have, say, a JVZoo button on that same page, and the buyer buys through the JVZoo link, then the CB affiliate will get no commissions for that purchase. Which means, they will stop promoting your product because you’re basically funnelling off their visitors to a different affiliate network.

Similarly, the landing page for JVZoo affiliates must have only JVZoo buy buttons.

Landing page for a regular payment processor – like Paypal or Authorize.net – should have only a Paypal and/or Authorize.net buy button (and no CB or JVZoo buy buttons). In this case, for these products in DAP, you should set up an affiliate commission row on the “Affiliates > Manage” screen, so that your DAP affiliates can get credited for sales made through your regular web site.

Customizing Logout Button

If you wish to change the default “Logout” button that shows up in the Login/Logout sidebar widget, then here’s what you need to do…

Rename the file

wp-content/plugin/DAP-WP-LiveLinks/DAP-WP-LogoutHTML.html

To…

wp-content/plugin/DAP-WP-LiveLinks/customDAP-WP-LogoutHTML.html

Open this new file customDAP-WP-LogoutHTML.html and inside you’ll see just this one line…

<input type=’button’ name=’dap-logout-button’ value=’Log Out’ onClick=”javascript:location.href=’/dap/logout.php’;”  style=”margin-top:5px” />

Change that to…

<input type=’image’ src=”/path/to/button/image.jpg” name=’dap-logout-button’ value=’Log Out’ onClick=”javascript:location.href=’/dap/logout.php’;”  style=”margin-top:5px” />

Google Checkout Integration with DAP

1) Update DAP Setup > Config -> Secret Authorization Key to be…

YourGCmerchant_id|YourGCmerchant_key

2) Point the Google Checkout IPN handler to

http://yoursite.com/dap/dap-gc-responsehandler.php

(replace yoursite.com with the name of your site).

3) Create a DAP product and make sure the item name that your GC Item Name exactly matches the DAP Product Name.

That’s it!

NOTE

You will find a file by name dap-gc-responsehandler.php in your dap folder.

Use this file as is, with no changes, during testing. Nothing to change.

But once you’re ready to go live, open the file, and find the line below:
$server_type = “‘sandbox”;

And change it to:
$server_type = “‘production”;

DigiResults.com Integration With DAP

1) Go to DigiResults.com “Manage” Listings tab at https://www.digiresults.com/manage/listings

2) Click on the List Name

3) Click on “Edit Product” below the Products section on the listings page.

4) In the Edit Product page, click on “Edit” next to Direct Receipts.

Set the Direct Receipt URL to point to the dap script on your site…
The direct receipt format should be set to Clickbank Instant Notification.
http://YOURSITE.com/dap/dap-digiresults.php

5) Create a product in DAP and make sure the dap Product Name exactly matches the digiresults Product Name.

That’s it!

Now run a test purchase via digiresults and see if the account gets created in dap automatically.

JVZoo Integration with DAP

Customizing vBulletin Login For Single-Signon

Here’s what you need to do to disable the standard vB login form at the top-right corner of your forum pages, and customize it so that you force your members to log in via the DAP login form, so that they’re logged in to your membership site as well as DAP.

1. Log in to VB Admin control panel at http://yoursite.com/forums/admincp/
2. Go to Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Default (or whatever style you’re currently using)
3. From the big list on the left, select the “header” template. Then on the right, under the “Controls” section, click on Edit
4. On the resulting page, copy the full code from this text file and paste into the main “Template” body, and click on “Save”
5. Next, download the file forums/register.php from your server, to your desktop and save the original copy somewhere safe.
6. Replace the contents of that file with the contents of this text file.

That’s it!

DAP integration with 2Checkout

DAP now integrates with 2CO!

To integrate DAP with your 2CO account, pls update the IPN in your 2CO account to point to http://yoursite.com/dap/dap-2co.php (replace yoursite.com with the name of your site) for the following events:

– Order Created
– Fraud Status Changed
– Recurring Installment Success
– Recurring Installment Failed
– Recurring Restarted

NOTE: When you create products in 2CO to sell, make sure you create products by the EXACT same name in DAP otherwise the transaction will not be processed by DAP.

Here’s how the script will work:

1) Order Created

DAP will create and activate the membership account at the time of purchase.
DAP will look for the message type of ORDER_CREATED and invoice_status of “approved” to automatically create the membership account. The user will receive the welcome email with full access to the purchased items (based on content drip settings in dap products page) upon purchase completion.

2) Fraud Status Changed

2CO approves or disapproves a purchase inmediately. If the purchase is approved, DAP will receive an “Order created” message via IPN from 2CO; if not, 2CO will not send any message. After that, 2CO has a “second tier” fraud check. Upon the completion of Fraud Check, 2CO will send out FRAUD_STATUS_CHANGED message. DAP will not take any action if fraud_status = “pass”. But if fraud_status in NOT “pass”, then dap will set the user’s product status in DAP to INACTIVE.  So the user will not be able to access the DAP product any more.

3) Recurring Installment Success

Upon successful recurring payment notification from 2CO, DAP will simply extend the user’s access end date based on the ‘recurring cycle’ setting in dap products page -> Price/Recurring tab for the product.

4) Recurring Installment Failed

DAP will reset the access end date to current date if recurring payment fails so user will not be able to access content past the failed date.

5) Recurring Restarted

DAP will start back from where the user last left off. The user’s access end date will be extended from whatever it was set to previously. The access end date is extended based on the recurring period settings in the dap products page -> Price/Recurring tab for the product.

MSIAB STARTER: How It Works And Other FAQ

(For information about the MSIAB Pro package, click here.)

Here’s how the MSIAB “Starter” Concierge sessions work:

* Please note that with the “Starter” Concierge service, you get a total of *3 hours* of 1-on-1 setup and configuration and DAP walk-thru. So you’re free to manage those 3 hours of time you’re getting, by guiding us to focus on the things most important to you (like MailChimp Integration, Content Protection, Affiliate Setup, etc).

* Any time left over from either the 1-on-1 call or the offline time, may not be re-used for any other purposes (like, asking us to additional software installation, etc). Any time left unused will be forfeited if not used within 6 months (180 days).

* The bonuses or time provided may not be transferred to others.

* So after you purchase the MSIAB license, pls open a ticket at http://DigitalAccessPass.com/support/ with all of the following site credentials that we will need for installaing DAP on your site.

* Then we set up a 2-hour call with you, give you a crash-course in using DAP, set up end-to-end of a product, set up your various member-facing pages, go over all of your questions, etc.

* And then, we recommend that you take a few days to use DAP by yourself, play with the different settings and options, set up the rest of of your actual content, create your actual products, decide on the pricing, create your sales pages, squeeze pages, etc.

* By this time, you will have more questions, and more ideas. So, at that point, contact us via the same ticket as before, and request your final 1-hour Concierge session. During this final call, we can go over any other questions you may have, or anything else you may need help with in completing the set up of your membership site.

While we actually don’t require anything to be setup ahead of the calls, the more components you have already set up (or have made some progress on, or have at least given a thought to) going into the call – like your theme look & feel, your nav menu, your pages, sub-pages, Aweber email sequence, etc), the quicker you will be able to launch after the calls.

The only thing we really need is for you to have absolutely every third-party component’s login and password information handy and available – like Aweber login, WP admin, FTP, Authorize.net/Paypal/ClickBank/other, Web hosting cPanel, etc).

We may need most of it during setup (you don’t *have* to give it to us – you must at least be able to log in yourself and follow our instructions on the call – we can help you by allowing you to share your screen and walking you through the steps).

And you’ll really benefit from watching some of our videos ahead of time – like the tutorial videos we have added, at http://DigitalAccessPass.com/documentation/ (at the top on the menu on the left, look under the “DAP Tutorials: End-to-End” section).

So, to summarize, here’s a list of things that we can and cannot do.

What we CAN do:
* Set up your member pages: Login page, “My Content” page, “My Affiliate” page and “Profile” page
* Setup up to 6 different products or “levels”

* Setup and install vBulletin and integrate it with your membership levels or products so that certain members can access certain forums only
* Set up full content protection, content dripping, product chaining
* Set up email autoresponders and show you how to do broadcasts
* Set up your affiliate program, commissions for your various products, set up the affiliate info page for your members, and show you how to run reports and also pay your affiliates, etc

What we WILL NOT be doing:

Premium Web Cart Integration

Starting v4.2.1, DAP now integrates with Premium Web Cart (PWC)

PWC=>DAP integration is very simple to set up.

NOTE:

• If your DAP version is 4.2 or earlier, you must upgrade to DAP v4.2.1 & LiveLinks v1.7.
• If you are already using DAP v4.2.1, then download the very latest dap_v4.2.1 zip from the member’s area, unzip the contents to your desktop, and upload just the dap-pwc.php (within the main dap folder on your desktop) to the dap folder on your site.

Integration Steps

• Login to your PWC account.
• Go to Cart Settings > Advance Integration.
• Select PWC IPN tab.
• Set the PWC IPN URL to http://yoursite.com/dap/dap-pwc.php  (Note: replace yoursite.com with the name of your site)
• Make sure the product name in PWC  eXactly matches the Product Name in DAP.

User Flow

• Buyer clicks on the buy button (button created within your PWC account and published on your sales page).
• Buyer completes the payment successfully and is transferred to the thankyou page.
• PWC notifies DAP via IPN about the purchase.
• DAP automatically creates the member account, and sends thank-you email (configured in your dap products page) with login info to the buyer.   NOTE: Make sure to setup the thankyou email in the DAP products page for all the products you sell via DAP.
• When the user logs in to their membership area, they will be redirected to either product-level logged-in URL or global logged-in url based on whether they have access to just 1 product or multiple products. The product level logged-in url is used if the user has access to just 1 product. The global logged-in url (under dap setup -> config -> advanced -> url to which user is redirected upon login) is used when user has access to multiple products.

Note: You can create a member’s area and redirect users to that page upon purchase.
