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.

If you’re interested in trying out the beta version, do let us know via the comments below, and we’ll get you the code.

And in the video, you can also see the new “DAP Dashboard”.

All of this will be available for free to all DAP users.

Feel free to comment below.

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.

Upsell-Tree

Have you checked out our spanking new “Upsell Tree” video? Also check out the new documentation for installing Upsell-Tree.

If you recently purchased the Upsell-Tree plugin, simply download the latest versions of both DAP and UpsellTree and upload all files to your site. We made some minor fixes and improvements.

DAP & LiveLinks

Did you know that DAP v3.5 and LiveLinks v1.1 have been out for over a week now? Download them from your member’s area.

Even if you recently upgraded DAP, it’s not a bad idea to just download all new DAP and LiveLinks files and upload them once more to your site. Doesn’t hurt, plus you can be absolutely sure you have the latest files.

Feel free to comment below.

Enjoy!

WooHoo! Aweber has finally finished a custom email parser for DigitalAccessPass, I’ve tested it and it works great!

This is going to make Aweber integration as simple as just adding “yourlist@aweber.com” to the “3rd Party Notification Email Id” field on your “Product” page in DAP. That’s it! 5-second integration. No more will you need to do any of this!

But, before it shows up on the list of global parsers, and in fact for it to even show on the list of global parsers in your Aweber account, I need your help asap.

Please visit Aweber.com, open a ticket, and tell them something to the effect of…

“Hi Aweber Support,

I want the custom parser “DigitalAccessPass.com” to be added to my Aweber account.

This parser is currently available in Aweber account plugandplay owned by Ravi Jayagopal

Here’s my Aweber login: _______

Here’s my Aweber password: _______

Thanks!

- Your Name”

That’s it.

Once they have at least 10 people request this, then the Custom DigitalAccessPass.com Parser will then be added to the global list of Email Parsers, and it will be available to everyone. And no one else will have to send these guys the above email any more. Probably just the first 10.

But I do need your help to send this email to them asap.

Feel free to comment below if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Very exciting times ahead for DAP! Lots of cool features coming soon…

Coming Soon

1) Authorize.net integration
2) 1-Click Upsells
3) One-Time Offers (OTO)
4) Coupons…

And more!

Here’s what is coming in just a few days…

Authorize.net Integration

Which means, if you have an Authorize.net merchant account, then DAP itself becomes your shopping cart. No need for a 3rd party cart like 1SiteAutomation.com (1ShoppingCart Private Label).

It also means that the customer never leaves your web site to make a payment. No more sending people to a different web site – like Paypal – for instance. Customer stays within your web site’s pages. And makes a purchase right on your web site.

Once this plugin goes live soon, 1-Click Upsells and OTO’s will soon follow suit.

If you are willing to try out the Authnet Plugin beta version, you will get a substantial discount on the plugin. So please let us know via the comments below if you’re interested in signing up for the beta and getting the discount.

What You Need (To Use This Plugin)

1) Your own Authorize.net Merchant Account

2) A “SSL Certificate” on your web host.This is where your site looks like “https://Yoursite.com” with the extra “s” after the “http..”. That is what allows your members to “securely” enter their credit card information on your site and submit it for payment processing. We can help you set up SSL on your host for a fee. Just ask us.

Taking DAP To A Whole New Level

DAP already does way more than what our competitors do.

With the addition of these features (and even more that we’ll be adding: Product Chaining, Joomla Support, vBulletin integration, …) we’re taking DAP to a whole new level.

And we are really excited, humbled and honored that it is your support that has allowed us to get here.

And we promise you that in 2010, we’re going to take DAP “Where No Membership Script Has Gone Before!”

And finally, a “HUGE Thank You” for your show of support and incredible feedback at the Warrior Forum . I’ve published your comments from the forum on our testimonials page.

Cheers and have an an AMAZING 2010!

UPDATE 1 (4PM EST):

I just found out from Aweber that I need to take some extra steps in order for the email parser to show up for everyone, including you. So, ignore the request below for now. I will send you an update once I hear back from them. Sorry for the trouble! Thanks!

We’ve just finished testing a new feature – an Aweber Email Parser – for automatically adding your DAP members into your Aweber list.

And we’re hoping to roll this into DAP v3.4 (in beta right now. Yay!)

So I need a really quick favor from you…

If you have an Aweber account, and if you have 3 minutes to spare, can you please check something for us?

1) Log in to your Aweber Account
2) Under “My Lists” tab at the top, click on “Email Parser”
3) Do you see “DigitalAccessPass.com” among the list of email parsers available there?

Pls post your findings/comments below in the comments section.

*Really, really* appreciate your help

Thanks much!

- Ravi Jayagopal

PS: If you did see the parser, then all you need is DAP v3.4 which is available for download right now!
