Upsells and Downsells are now extremely simple to implement using OUR NEW \u201cPaypal Standard Upsell Tree\u201d plugin for DAP.<\/p>\n
Which means you do not need a merchant account any more. All you need is a regular Paypal (Standard) Business\/Premier Account.<\/p>\n
\n
\n
IMPORTANT: What you need before you can use this plugin<\/h3>\n\n
You need a Paypal (Standard) Business or Premier <\/strong>account<\/li>\n
You must have SSL<\/strong> (secure server) enabled on your web site. Ask your web host to enable SSL for your site.<\/li>\n
You must have a working version of DAP 4.4.3+<\/strong><\/li>\n
You cannot sell a \u201cRecurring\u201d product as an Upsell.\u00a0 Recurring products have to be the first product in the flow.<\/li>\n
Here\u2019s what you CAN do<\/strong>: You can have a recurring product as the very FIRST product that they purchase (when they first click on the \u201cBuy\u201d button on your main sales page), and then you can offer any number of \u201cOne-Time\u201d Products as upsells or downsells.<\/li>\n
Here\u2019s what you CANNOT do<\/strong>: Offer a \u201cOne-Time\u201d product as your first product that they buy, and then<\/em> try to upsell them to a \u201cRecurring\u201d Product. Unfortunately, this is a Paypal problem at this time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Steps to generate the MAIN buy button\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n
In the DAP Dashboard menu, go to Payment Processing > Generate Buy Button<\/strong> \nPlease click on the ‘Paypal Standard Upsell’<\/strong> tab.<\/li>\n
STEP 1<\/strong> – Select the DAP Product for which you\u2019re trying to generate the <\/strong>buy button, from the Product list.\u00a0 NOTE: The very first product that you sell in the flow can be a recurring product or a one-time product. \n<\/strong><\/li>\n
STEP 2<\/strong> – Generate “Primary” Buy Button (initial\/first payment button that triggers upsell)<\/strong>.\u00a0 This will be the button that kicks off the full sales funnel. So this is your PRIMARY buy button. Fill in the text boxes for button generation and copy the generated button code to the MAIN SALES PAGE on your site.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
\n
Generate the Upsell and No, Thanks button.<\/h3>\n\n
PLEASE NOTE:<\/strong>\u00a0 you cannot<\/strong> upsell \/ downsell a recurring\/subscription<\/strong> product because of Paypal API Restriction.<\/li>\n
YOU can do unlimited upsells and downsells BUT THE\u00a0 upsell\/downsell products can only be non-subscription products.<\/li>\n
In the DAP Dashboard menu, go to Payment Processing > Generate Buy Button<\/strong> \nPlease click on the ‘Paypal Standard Upsell’<\/strong> tab.<\/li>\n
STEP 1<\/strong>\u00a0 –\u00a0 Select the product that you want to UPSELL or DOWNSELL.<\/li>\n
STEP 3<\/strong> –\u00a0 Please SKIP the STEP 2 (as step 2 is for MAIN\/PRIMARY button) and go straight to STEP 3<\/strong>.\u00a0 Follow the easy-to-use instructions on the button generation page, fill in the text boxes for upsell button generation and copy the generated button code on to the upsell or downsell page.<\/li>\n
NOTE<\/strong>:\u00a0 On every upsell page, make sure to provide both AN UPSELL BUTTON as well as a ‘NO, THANKS’ button. WITHOUT a NO, THANKS button, the users cannot SKIP any UPSELLS and they will be stuck.<\/li>\n
To generate a No, Thanks.<\/strong> button, select the button type (STEP – 3) as No, Thanks.<\/strong><\/li>\n
You can repeat step #3 through step #7 for all of your upsell\/downsell pages.<\/li>\n
When it’s the last upsell button or if it’s a No, Thanks button that does not lead to any more upsells, then please set the
