DAP Credit Store – Setup

If you have purchased our Credit Store plugin, you can use it ONLY if you are on DAP v4.5.2 / DAPLiveLinks 1.9.2 or above.You can find your DAP version number in your dap admin dashboard footer area. You can find DAPLiveLinks version number in WP admin -> Plugins area.

The document below explains how to setup the DAP Credit Store.

Here are the steps to setup the DAP Credit Store:

STEP 1: Install DAP Credit Store Plugin:

See this document/video on how to install the DAP Credit Store Plugin.

STEP 2: Create Credit Storefront page:

See this document on how-to-create-creditstorefront-page-in-Wordpress.

STEP 2: Create Payment Button

• Go to DAP admin -> Payment Processing > Generate Buy Buttons -> Authnet & Paypal PRO tab -> do the following on this page
  

1. Select Product.
2. Select Payment Processor.

3. Choose a button type (BuyNow/Subscription, AddToCart).
4. Configure payment method. If you select ‘Allow Checkout With Paypal ONLY’ or ‘Allow BOTH CC/Paypal option’ in the dropdown below, then please note that you cannot do 1-click upsells. You can do 1-click upsells if you select ‘Allow Checkout With Credit Card ONLY’ option. 1-click upsells cannot be done with Paypal Standard button.
5. Set the Landing Page URL. If you are going to send the users to an upsell page after they click on checkout/buynow, then set the landing page URL to point to your upsell page. Say the upsell page is called http://YOURSITE.com/upsell1. You can set the landing page url to /upsell1. If no upsells, then you can set this to point to a thank you page.
Set the Checkout page in WordPress to http://YOURSITE.com/buynow (check STEP 1 above on how to create buynow page). If you do not have a WP based Checkout page, you can set it to : http://YOURSITE.com/wp-content/plugins/dapshoppingcart/buynow.php.
6. Now you can generate a Payment Button or a Payment Link.

PLEASE NOTE : The buynow/checkout page must be on HTTPs/SSL. Your entire site does not need to be SSL enabled but the checkout/buy now page where Credit Card is collected MUST BE on https for SECURITY reasons. If you ONLY configure ‘Checkout With Paypal’ to show up on Checkout Page, then you DO NOT need https. You only need to have HTTPs enabled checkout page if you offer Credit Card checkout option. Your web host can enable HTTPs for your site. The exact cost of SSL is web host dependent. Please check the pricing details with your web host.

TESTING: If you are waiting on your web host to enable SSL but want to start testing the CART, you can look for ‘https’ in the button code and update all occurrences of https with http for testing. Please remember to change back to https before you go LIVE with the button.

STEP 3: Upsells – Create Upsell Button

* If you want to offer upsells, please ONLY use the Credit Card payment option on the checkout page. Do not offer ‘Checkout with Paypal’. Upsells will not work with Paypal Standard checkout.

* Say your first upsell page URL is http://YOURSITE.com/firstupsell. Use the URL of the FIRST upsell page (/firstupsell) as the ‘LANDING PAGE URL’ when you generate your MAIN/INITIAL button for the sales page. This way, when the users click on the main payment button, the user’s payment will be processed, and instead of users getting redirected to the thank you page, they will land on the FIRST upsell page.

* You need to have 2 buttons on the upsell page:
Add To Order (Yes, I want to add this to my purchase) / No, Thanks (No, I will skip this wonderful offer)

* You can generate the UPSELL / DOWNSELL buttons for all your upsell / downsell offers in the DAP admin -> Payment Processing > Generate Buy Buttons -> Authnet & Paypal PRO tab. Make SURE to select the RIGHT product in the button generation page BEFORE you generate button.

STEP 4: CART OPTIONS

Last STEP in your checkout page configuration process.

– Go to DAP admin -> Payment Processing > Cart Options page.

You will find several checkout page customization options on this page including options for ‘Choose a Password (pre-registration)’, ‘Require Billing Info for Paypal’, ‘Custom fields’ etc. You can enable options as needed for your site for the product you are trying to sell. Remember to first select the product in the select box on the left before picking options.

That’s it for BuyNow or Subscription buttons. Instructions for AddToCart button will be covered later in this document.

How to create a Credit Store Master product?

Go to DAP products/Levels and create the product that you want to use to ‘sell’ credits to your users.

See this video for more detail:

1. The product that the users buy to earn credits is what we refer to as MASTER product.

2. You can give any name to the product (does not have to be called ‘master’).

3. Each product that needs to serve as master needs to be designated as Credit Store Master in DAP products page OR in DAP Admin->Credit Store->Storefront Settings page.

4. After you create the product, designate it as master and complete the rest of the product setup (price, content dripping etc) in DAP Admin -> Products page. All other settings for master needs to be completed in DAP admin->Credit Store->Storefront Settings page.

5. Different Types of Master

• Master product can be a regular DAP subscription product with content dripping that also allows users to earn credits per payment. Users can earn initial credits followed by recurring credits OR
• Master product can be a dummy subscription product with no dripping just created to allow users to purchase credits for cash and then the users can go to the store to spend the earned credits. Users can earn initial credits followed by recurring credits OR
• Master product can be a regular DAP one-time purchase product with content dripping that also allows users to earn credits per payment OR
• Master product can be a FREE DAP product with credits attached so when the users signup to the product, they are rewarded with credits.

6. The buyers get the credits right away upon purchase or upon signup.

IMPORTANT : Please make sure to visit the DAP Admin -> Credit Store -> Store Front Settings page to assign credits to the Master product and complete rest of the master product setup.

How to create a Credit Storefront page?

1. Login to WP admin dashboard.

2. Click on Pages -> Add New.

3. Click on Visual tab.

4. You will notice a CS Editor Icon as shown below:

5. Click on CS editor icon and fill up the form to create a storefront page.

– Enter The Number of Products You Want Displayed Per Row

Please NOTE: Currently the ONLY valid values are 1, 2 or 3.
If you allow content level credits for any products in the display category, then you cannot use multiple products per row layout. You will have to user 1 product per row.

– You will also notice various customization options for text color, background color, font, width etc that you can configure if needed or you can just use the defaults.

– Pick a store category for the storefront page: If you select the “ALL” option, then all the child products associated with the categories will be displayed in the storefront page.

– Enter payment link or sales page link to allow users to purchase additional credits: Enter the link to your sales page url or the buy button LINK for the master product.

When a user clicks on the payment link, they can complete payment and accumulate more credits.

OR

You can ENTER sales page URL to send users to a page where they can find multiple payment buttons/links for credits purchase (for ex – 10-credits, 100-credits etc). The ‘buy credits’ image will automatically appear on the store page. When a user clicks on the image, they will get redirected to the sales page to purchase additional credits.

Users need to be logged in to their membership to access the credit storefront page. Otherwise dap will not know who the user is.

7. After you pick all the options and click on INSERT button, you will notice the [DAPCreditStoreFront]…[/DAPCreditStoreFront] shortcode. Save the WP page that has the shortcode. And now when you open the page in a browser, it will show all the products you have set up as ‘redeemable products’.

If you have setup the store already and want to make some updates to the settings, you can select everything from the start tag ([DAPCreditStoreFront] ) to the end tag ([/DAPCreditStoreFront] ) and click on CS icon and it will remember the previous settings.

Office Auto Pilot Integration

1. Integrate OAP Web Form  => DAP  Free Product

You can use OAP Registration Form and integrate it with a DAP Product.

(1) Login to your Office Auto Pilot account.

(2) Go to Admin->Manage SmartForms

(3) Add a new smartform or edit the existing one

(4) Go to Smartform -> Settings tab and select Opt-in settings >And set ‘Custom URL’ to  http://YOURSITE.com/dap/signup_submit.php?productId=1&redirect=/thankyou&oap=1

Please NOTE:

Set productId to the Id of the DAP product you want to integrate with OAP.

Set redirect tag to the URL of the page where you want the users to land after they complete confirmation. In the example above, the redirect tag is set to /thankyou but you can change it to the URL of the page where you want the users to go after they complete confirmation.

(5) On this page, towards the bottom of the page, under Advanced, check the box to “Pass CGI variables to Landing/Thank you page”.

(6) Save and publish the form.

(7) Copy the code and paste it into your WordPress squeeze page.

(8) Visit this page in a new browser where you are not already logged in to DAP.

(9) Fill the information and submit .

(10) The user should receive a confirmation email from OAP upon signup. When they click on the confirmation link in the email, the user account will get created in dap automatically and user will land at the page that you have set above (step 4).

2. Integrate DAP Free Signup Form => OAP List

You can use DAP Free Signup Form and integrate it with OAP list.

(1) Create your FREE product in DAP Products Page.

(2) Make sure that “Allow Free Signup” is set to “Yes” in DAP Products page.

(3) In Products/Levels -> Manage -> Notification tab -> Plugin Notification upon User “Add”,  enter data in this format:

oap:<APPID>:<KEY>:<GROUP NAME>:<SEQUENCE NAME>

For example, say APPID=87JKSNLA,  KEY=KLAcjTmdk,  GROUP NAME=mylist, SEQUENCE NAME=myseq

oap:87JKSNLA:KLAcjTmdk:mylist:myseq   

(4) In Products/Levels > Manage->Notification tab->Plugin Notification upon User “Remove” enter the value as like:

If you use OAP to sell / generate payment button, it will not integrate with DAP.  But if you use say paypal buttons directly or use dap shopping cart or some other shopping cart that’s integrated with dap, then the users will be first added to dap and you can use the same steps to integrate DAP to OAP that you used above to integrate the DAP free product to OAP.

–  In Products/Levels -> Manage -> Notification tab -> Plugin Notification upon User “Add”,  enter data in this format:

oap:<APPID>:<KEY>:<GROUP NAME>:<SEQUENCE NAME>

oap:87JKSNLA:KLAcjTmdk:mylist:myseq

–  In Products/Levels -> Manage -> Notification tab -> Plugin Notification upon User “Remove”,  enter data in this format:

oap:<APPID>:<KEY>:<GROUP NAME>:<SEQUENCE NAME>

For example, say APPID=87JKSNLA,  KEY=KLAcjTmdk,  GROUP NAME=mylist, SEQUENCE NAME=myseq

Xenforo Integration

DAP integrates with Xenforo, vBulletin, and several other free WP plugins like BBPress, SimplePress, Buddypress, Mingle etc.

The integration with free WP forum plugins is not at product/member level but you can set up DAP to ONLY allow registered or paid members to POST to the forums.

But if you use paid plugins like Xenforo and VBulletin, you can control access at membership level. You can restrict forum access based on user’s membership level in DAP.

There was just 1 limitation with the DAP=>Xenforo integration and that was with Automatic Login’. But we have eliminated that limitation in DAP 4.7.

If you are on older version of DAP (DAP 4.6.2 or below), then DAP cannot auto-login the users to the forum when they login to DAP.

But if you upgrade to DAP 4.7 (or above), DAP can not only control forum access at membership level but DAP can also autologin users to the forum when they login to DAP.

Here’s the steps to setup the integration :

STEP 1:

Install Xenforo forum.
Say it is installed under http://YOURSITE.com/community

STEP 2: 

Follow these instructions to integrate Xenforo ONLY if you are on DAP 4.7 or above.

1. FTP to your site. You will find a file called api.php under /dap/plugins/dap_xenapi folder.
Upload the api.php file to your forums folder. If you installed forum under /community, then upload api.php to that folder.

2. Generate a hash by using an online service, like http://www.miraclesalad.com/webtools/md5.php

3. Set an API key for XenAPI, this can be done by editing the `api.php` file and replacing the `API_KEY` string with the hash generated in step 2.

$options = array(‘api_key’ => ‘set this to the hash generated in step 2 above’);

Follow these instructions to integrate Xenforo ONLY if you are on DAP 4.6.2 or below (SKIP 1-6 below if you are on DAP 4.7 or above).

1. Download XenAPI for Xenforo from the GitHub repository:
https://github.com/Contex/XenAPI/archive/master.zip

2. Open the downloaded ZIP archive and extract the contents of the zip file to your desktop.

3. Upload `/XenAPI-master/net/xenapi/XenAPI/api.php` to the root directory of your XenForo installation. So if the installation is under /forum folder, upload api.php to the forum folder.

4. Generate a hash by using an online service, like http://www.miraclesalad.com/webtools/md5.php

5. Set an API key for XenAPI, this can be done by editing the `api.php` file and replacing the `API_KEY` string with
the hash generated in step 4.

$options = array(‘api_key’ => ‘set this to the hash generated in step 4 above’);

6. Upload `/XenAPI-master/net/xenapi/XenAPI/examples/dap/plugins/dap_xenapi/dap_xenapi.class.php` to
`/dap/plugins/dap_xenapi/` of your DAP installation.

STEP 3:

1. a. Login to your XenForo Admin panel and go to user groups, `Users -> User Groups -> List User Groups`.
1. b. Find the group you wish the user to be assigned to when they register.
21 c. Note the ID of the group, we’ll use it later, `admin.php?user-groups/example-group.6/edit`, 6 is the group ID.

2. We now need to create the string that is going to be sent to DAP XenForo Plugin.

Here’s the the string that is sent to DAP XenForo Plugin:
dap_xenapi:API_KEY:PROTOCOL:API_LOCATION:GROUP_ID

a. `API_KEY` should be replaced with the md5 hash you generated in STEP 2.
Example API_KEY: a5b2b1f2mc1mas2f3
b. `PROTOCOL` should be replaced with which protocol you wish to use, current options are only `http` and `https`.
Please note that if you use `http`, the password of the user will be sent over a unecrypted protocol.
Example PROTOCOL: https
c. `API_LOCATION` should be replaced with the location of XenAPI’s file, `api.php`, which you should now have in the
root directory of your XenForo installation. Make sure you do NOT include the `http` of the URL.
Example API_LOCATION: YOURSITE.com/forum/api.php
d. `GROUP_ID` should be replaced with the group ID you wish the user to be assigned to when they are added to a product in dap, this is the group ID you
found in step 7.

If you wish not to assign the user to a group, you can remove this parameter or set it to `0`.
Example GROUP_ID: 6
Example GRPOU_ID: 0
Example:

a. Register the user AND assign the user to a specific group: `dap_xenapi:a5b2b1f2mc1mas2f3:https:example.com/forum/api.php:6`.

b. Register the user AND assign the user to a specific group AND use a custom field identifier: `dap_xenapi:a5b2b1f2mc1mas2f3:https:example.com/forum/api.php:6:unique_user`.

3. Open your DAP admin dashboard and go to Products/Levels -> Manage page.

4. Find the product you wish to integrate XenForo with, click on the `Notifications` tab.

5. Add the string you created in step 8 to the `Plugin Notification upon User “Add”`
and `Plugin Notification upon User “Add”` fields.

PLEASE NOTE: The only part that will change from product to product is the ‘group id’ (the last field).
The group id is the id of the usergroup in the forum that the user should get access to when they signup for a dap product.
If you create your own usergroup in xenforo, you can set the usergroup id of that in the group id field.
Now when a user registers to a product in dap, they will automatically be added to the specified usergroup id and thus will have the same ‘permission’ to the forum that the specified usergroup id is set to have.
Each product in dap can be configured to add the user to a different usergroup in forum if you want each product/level to have different forum permission.

STEP 4:

FTP to your site, find dap-config.php file under the dap folder, edit it and add this to your /dap/dap-config.php file.

Add it towards the top after php start tag (<?php) :

define(‘XENFOROFORUMPATH’, ‘/home/crespond/yoursite.com/community’); // path to your Xenforo forum

VERY IMPORTANT: Remove all occurrences of  backticks (`) in the line above and replace it with single or double quote.

NOTE:

If you want to find the path to the Xenforo forum on your site, you can visit this page: http://yoursite.com/dap/getpath.php in a browser.  It will give you the path to the “dap” folder on your site. Just remove the /dap from the end of the path and instead append /community (or whatever is the name of your forums folder) to it.

Now upload dap-config.php file back to the dap folder on your site.

STEP 5:

Testing:
1) Add a user to the product integrated with xenforo using the dap admin -> add users page.

2) Login to your xenforo admin dashboard on your site and you can search for this new user and find the user in xenforo

Please Note:

Current integration limitation with xenforo is that if a user logs in to dap, they will not be auto-logged in to xenforo.

You can send the users their xenforo login in the welcome email. They can login to xenforo using their dap email id and dap password.

But if they change their dap account password, it will not get sync’d to Xenforo.

Users can change the xenforo password directly in xenforo if they want it to match dap password Or they can continue to use their old password to login to xenforo.

This is a limitation for now but we will address it in a few months from now.
