We are extremely excited to announce:

“Crush It With Continuity”
1-day virtual workshop, where you literally
“Walk In With A Blog, Walk Out With A Membership Site”.

We have great plans for DAP going forward, and this is just the beginning of a suite of exciting new products built around DAP, that’s going to help new DAP users – as well as existing DAP users who haven’t yet gotten started with DAP – launch your membership site really fast!

And it’s totally free for all Membership-Site-In-A-Box license owners.

WARNING: There are very limited seats available (only 50) due to the extensively “Hands-on” nature of this workshop.

And there’s a huge early-bird discount available.

So go reserve your seat asap. And don’t forget to comment below

We’ve got some really *awesome* stuff coming out in DAP v3.8 & LiveLinks v1.3…

• [NEW] Product Chaining
• [NEW] When you add a blog post/page to a Product, it retrieves the post/page’s title, and the page title is what your member will see in the “Links” section of a product.
• [NEW] (New Config Field) SECRET_KEY : Secret Authorization Key used when interfacing with external systems
• [NEW] (New Config Field) SHOW_COMMENTS: Show comments on protected WP content?
• [NEW] (New Config Field) DEFAULT_AFF_LANDING: URL of default landing page for Affiliate links (when not redirected). Default: / (home page)
• [NEW] DAP will no longer allows deliberate or unintentional deletion of admin users. You must change their account type to “User” first before you can delete the user.
• [NEW] Display of User Links (sorting order): Within a given day, if you have multiple links dripping (say, on day 1 itself you have multiple links), then they will show up on the “User links” page in the exact same order in which it shows up on the Products page.
• [NEW] Warning presented and asks for confirmation when you click on “Delete Product” (even though DAP already won’t delete a product if there is even 1 user associated with a Product. Just another confirmation in addition to what was there before).
• [NEW] DAP Logs displays only 1000 rows now
• [NEW] URL field length increased from 100 to 200
• [FIXED] LiveLinks: It seems the first name and other merge tags work, but the last name merge tag isn’t functional.
• [FIXED] Removed “http://” from second link in affiliate “redirection” link

Feel free to comment below.

Oh, one more thing.

The final feature list for 3.8 isn’t going to change much. But if you have a feature request(s) for 3.9, then speak now or forever hold your peace… er… , you may have to hold it at least until v4.0

DAP v3.7 & LiveLinks 1.2 are both out of beta. They are now final release candidates. (What’s in 3.7 & 1.2?)

Download both from your member home page.

DAP v3.8 (& LL 1.3) will be here hopefully within the next couple of weeks.

And don’t forget to check out “Product Chaining” that will be part of that release.

Ooh, very exciting times ahead!

You simply have no excuses left anymore.

You keep hearing how Upsells (especially “Post-purchase, 1-Click Upsells”) will put plenty of moolah in your pocket.

Now you can do 1-Click Upsells with just a good ol’ PayPal business account.

Yup. No fancy-schmancy merchant account required.

And checkout the home-made “light box” script…

Here’s a pretty accurate list of what’s coming in a few days on 03/15/2010 03/16/2010….

* Spanking-new DAP Admin Dashboard Navigation Menu

* Comments on protected pages/posts are now hidden from un-authorized users. Comments are shown only to authorized, logged-in users who have access to view that post/page

* DAP now hides WordPress Page links from the sidebar as well as from the WP standard navigation menu. So if a WP Page (not the same as a WP Post) is protected and the user (logged in or not-logged-in) is not yet eligible to view it (or access has expired), then the link to the protected page will no longer even “display” on your blog’s sidebar.

* Title of the Login/Logout Widget on the sidebar, can now be customized

* Login/Logout Form can be completely changed to however you want it to look.

* One-Time Offers (OTO’s) are now free and part of core DAP

* Complete “Power Customization” of protected content error messages (ones with the DAP lock image)

* Ability to redirect unauthorized users to a custom URL : to any page on your site, to any page on any site, to a product-specific error page, or to your sales page.

* Separate customizable error messages for logged-in users (who have lost access to expired content, or because they don’t yet have access to it because of the dripping) and non-logged in users

* Login-form shows up right on the error page for non-loggedin users trying to access a protected link. So when someone visits a protected link, DAP will show them something to the effect of “Sorry, you don’t have access… Click here to buy access to this content. Already a member? Log in below…”

* You can customize every last piece of the error message.

* Custom Product-Level Redirection After Login: You already have this feature at a system-level, where you can say where users should go after login. Now, depending on what product or membership level the user has purchased, you can now configure them to go to a different page after login. To achieve this, you would publish multiple login forms on your web site, one per product/membership level. And pass a hidden form variable called “redirect”. So after the user logs in, you can take the user to any page on any site you want. In effect, what this does is allow you to control the “URL After Login” for different products, and allow you to redirect them to any custom page immediately after they login. Of course, you must set up one login form PER product. May not be too useful for the average DAP Admin, but this has been requested a lot for a while, so we decided to implement this. Low hanging fruit, actually . In a future version, you will be able to set this “POST_LOGIN_URL” at a Product level, right within the Product page.

* DAP is becoming a Platform! WooHoo! You will soon be able to Develop Plugins For DAP just the way people today can Develop Plugins For Wordpress. So DAP will no longer be just a Membership Script – it will become an entire platform by itself – something that different developers and companies and vendors can extend easily without touching or modifying the DAP core files.

And finally…

* [HUGE] Upsell-Tree for Regular Paypal: You can now do 1-Click Upsells using just a plain ol’ Paypal Standard (business) account. No merchant account required. This Plugin will be sold separately and will not be released as part of DAP core.

And to think that we’re just getting started in 2010! DAP is absolutely going to ROCK! So stay tuned.

And feel free to comment below.

Cheers!

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 this…

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Ok, so here’s what coming in DAP v3.7 and LiveLinks v1.2:

• Complete customization of “protected content” error messages (ones with the DAP lock image)
• Ability to redirect unauthorized users to a custom URL – even to your sales page.
• Redirect to any page on your site – or on any site.
• Separate customizable error messages for logged-in users (who have lost access to expired content, or because they don’t yet have access to it because of the dripping) and non-logged in users
• Put login-form right within the error page. So when someone visits a protected link, DAP will show them something to the effect of “Sorry, you don’t have access… Click here to buy access to this content. Already a member? Log in below…”
• You can customize every last piece of the error message.
• Or you can simply redirect them to a product-specific error page, or even to the product’s sales page if you want.
• TOTAL POWER CUSTOMIZATION! Yay!

Watch the video below and you’ll see what this is all about.

PS: Oh, one more thing… There’s a new plugin that we will be releasing shortly: Upsell-Tree for regular Paypal accounts. Which means you can now do 1-Click Upsells and Downsells with a regular Paypal account! No merchant account required. How cool is that?

Ok, here’s the video:

We recently wasted 2 precious days working on 2checkout.com integration for DAP – only to find out at the end, that 2CO puts every single transaction through a forced, offline “Fraud Check” process that could take up to 48 hours to complete.

Which means, when your buyer hits the “buy” button on your site to become a member, agrees to pays $9.97 or $17 or $27 or $97, whips out their credit card, enters all of the information, hits “Pay”, and now can’t wait to access your product that you have spent so much time and money in marketing it to them …

… in comes 2CO and completely sabotages your entire effort.

Because it could 2CO up to 48 hours to actually put the charge through.

Which means, the payment is in limbo for 48 hours.

As the seller, you won’t get the money for 48 hours.

You’re not even guaranteed of getting the money, because the transaction could be flagged as “fraudulent” based on some crazy internal policies or rules.

On the flip side (and this is worse), your buyer doesn’t get access to the product he just paid you for, because obviously you can’t give them access to your super-duper-product, because you haven’t even received the money yet!

And if after 48 hours, 2CO comes back and rejects the purchase, there is nothing you can do about it.

Now remember, this is not the buyer’s credit card issuing bank that’s saying it’s a fraudulent charge. This is not a chargeback.This is not Amazon (the merchant) who is doing an “internal check” before shipping your product to you.

This is just the stupid middle man – 2CO – based on their “blackbox” investigations, deciding that it’s an invalid purchase.

Which means your buyer who had a valid card, and has money in his account, just got his purchase rejected.

And you were just stripped of a sale.

I would be shocked if any digital or information product sellers are using 2CO at all.

If you are, then please comment below and enlighten me as to how you are going about doing that. Maybe I’m missing something. But most probably, I’m not.

Because when we tested it ourselves making a test purchase, we saw first-hand what a disappointed buyer and an outraged seller would experience.

2Checkout: Fail.

Now integrates with Paypal Website Payments Pro!

Check out the “Upsell Tree” video if you haven’t already.

Now you can do Unlimited 1-Click Upsells, Downsells & OTO’s with both Authorize.net and Paypal Website Payments Pro!

This totally rocks!

Also, DAP v3.6 Beta is out. Has changes for Paypal Payments Pro integration, Authnet form look & feel, and integration for Paypal “Add To Cart” buttons too!

<LAUNCH SALE>

Oh, and only for the next 3 days, you can purchase the Paypal Upsell Tree plugin for $97 ($30 off the regular price of $127).

Just send us a payment of $97 to Ravi _AT_ DigitalAccessPass.com , and you’ll get access shortly. The $30 launch sale ends on 01/29 (Friday) at midnight.
