OTO’s are now part of DAP. And they’re available for free<\/strong> to all DAP users.<\/p>\n

This OTO script can also be used for making Upsells and Downsells too! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Only thing you have to remember is, that these won’t be<\/strong> 1-Click Upsells or 1-Click Downsells.\u00a0 If you want true 1-Click Upsells, then do check out our plugin, Upsell-Tree<\/a>, which allows you to do exactly that.<\/p>\n

The Basics<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. There is a file in your dap<\/strong> folder, called continue.php . <\/strong>This <\/strong>is the OTO script.
    \n<\/strong><\/li>\n
  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<\/strong> folder).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Setting up continue.php<\/h2>\n

    When you set up your buy button, after the sale, configure the “return url” to be:<\/p>\n

    \n

    http:\/\/YourSite.com\/dap\/continue.php?url=\/upsell1.html<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

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

    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…<\/p>\n

    \n

    http:\/\/YourSite.com\/dap\/continue.php<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

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

    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.<\/p>\n

    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…<\/p>\n

    \n

    http:\/\/YourSite.com\/dap\/continue.php?url=\/upsell2.html<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    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).<\/p>\n

    Button Code For “No Thanks”<\/h2>\n

    If your “No Thanks” button is going to lead to a downsell page, then here’s the code:<\/p>\n

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

    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:<\/p>\n

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

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

    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.<\/p>\n
