DAP currently integrates only with WordPress-based Forums – like bbPress, Simple:Press, etc.

What this essentially achieves, is that once your forum plugin has been integrated with DAP (explained below), anyone who is a member in your DAP-powered membership site, will also be automatically be logged in to your forum when they log in to your membership site.

So they won’t have to log in twice [like, once into DAP and once into your forum].

Here’s how you set up the DAP/forum integration.

1. Download the 3rd party wordpress forum plugin
2. Install it as per their instructions. We don’t support the installation or setup of the forum plugin itself.
3. Log in to your DAP Admin Dashboard and click on “Config > Advanced”.
4. You have two settings on the page that applies to forum integration:
   “Sync DAP User data and WP User data”
   “Sync WP data only for PAID users“.(Both are explained further below.)
5. Pick “Y” or “N” for each of them, and you’re all set.

First, a quick explanation of both settings.

1) Sync DAP User data and WP User data

If you turn this to “Y” (for “Yes”), then every time someone logs into DAP, they’re automatically logged into WordPress too (with a “User” role). And because they’re logged into WordPress, that means they’re also logged into your forum (because you are using a WordPress-based Forum Plugin which already integrates with your WordPress blog.)

2) Sync WP data only for PAID users

This one matters only if you have set (1) above to “Y”.

So once you have decided to turn on the DAP/Forum plugin integration, then if you want only your “PAID” members to have access to the forum, then set this to “Y”.

If you don’t care about both FREE and PAID users accessing your forum, then set this to “N”.

So you have an email list on a 3rd party autoresponder service – like Aweber or GetResponse.

And you want everyone who joins your DAP-powered membership site, to also be automatically added to this 3rd party list, so that you can use the 3rd party service to send out autoresponder emails (instead of, or in conjunction with, DAP).

Now if your 3rd party autoresponder service provide a “subscribable” email address (like, yourlist@autoresponder.com), then all you have to do to add all DAP members to this list, is to put the above email address (yourlist@autoresponder.com) into the “3rd Party Email Notification” field on the “Products” page in DAP.

For example, click here to see how DAP can automatically add members to your Aweber list.

But some 3rd party autoresponder services – like GetResponse, say – don’t allow you to use this subscribable email address (like, yourlist@autoresponder.com) to automate the adding of new members to the list. And they also don’t have an API, that scripts like DAP can use to seamlessly add members directly on the backend.

This is where this feature of DAP comes in handy.

In the documentation below, when we say 3rdPartyForm, we are referring to the sign-up form HTML provided by your 3rd party autoresponder service (like GetResponse) that will allow someone to enter their name and email id in the form and join the list. And when we say autoresponder, we are referring to your 3rd party list service.

At a high level, here’s how this integration works…

1) You first publish this 3rdPartyForm (that has your autoresponder id and other details) to a special php page within DAP (explained below)

2) Buyer buys your product from your web site’s sales page, DAP automatically creates an account, and sends buyer the “Activation” (double-optin) email. (Note: You must set your DAP Product to be double-optin in order for this to work).

3) Buyer gets double-optin email from DAP, that says something to the effect of: “You must click on the activation link below activate your membership account and get access to the product you have just purchased”. (Note: You can customize the double-optin email text on the “Products” page).

4) When buyer clicks on the DAP “Activation” link, she is first presented with your 3rdPartyForm. This form will be already pre-filled with her name and email address, and also disabled (name and email cannot be edited)

5) Upon clicking the submit button on this 3rdPartyForm, she is first added to your autoresponder, and then her DAP account is activated.

Now here’s how you set up the 3rdPartyForm…

1. Download this zip file, and unzip the php file inside – it’s called 3rdPartyForm.php. This is just a sample file. This file will have a different name by the time you use it.

2. Open this file with a text editor. Paste your 3rdPartyForm HTML that you have gotten from your autoresponder service.

3. Your 3rdPartyForm will have a field to redirect the user to a “success” page after the user has been successfully added to the 3rd party list. It will be a field named something like “redirect”.

This is how the form field looks in Aweber’s signup forms:

<input type=”hidden” name=”redirect” value=”<?php echo Dap_Config::get(“SITE_URL_DAP”); ?>/dap/activate.php?c=<?php echo $c; ?>&p=<?php echo $p; ?>“>

Now your autoresponder service might call it “redirect”, “success_url” or something similar. Just make sure whatever the field name is, the “value” of this field is exactly the same as shown below:

Do not change the special PHP code in the value field. Only change the name of the field (redirect, in the above example) if required.

3. Now go to the DAP product whose members you want to add to your autoresponder. From the Product page, get the “Product Id” field (shown right above “Product Name”). It is a number – like “1″ or “2″ or “10″. Make a note of this Product Id.

4. Now rename the 3rdPartyForm.php to <ProductId>.php . So if the Product Id from Step 3 above was 1, then name this file as 1.php. If it was 10, then name the file as 10.php.

5. Upload this 1.php (or 10.php) file directly to the folder “/dap/inc/“.

That’s it!

Just make sure the Product for which you are doing this, has double-optin enabled – which means put some text in the Double-Optin Subject and Double-Optin Body of that product.

Try adding a new user to that product, and you should see the 3rdPartyForm being presented first when the user clicks on the activation link. And only upon the submitting of this form, the user is activated in DAP.

The Basics

There is no such thing as a “Free Product” or a “Paid Product”. A DAP “Product” by itself has no classification (like “Free” or “Paid”).

But the “Content” that is part of this Product, can be either “Free” or “Paid”.

So while you can’t really set up a “Free Product”, but you can create a Product, add content to it, and then say that the content is available for “Free” (meaning, available only to “Registered” members who have registered for “Free”).

Now, let’s see the different ways in which you can use DAP.

Case 1: How to use DAP as an Email List

1. Create and save a Product (a DAP “Product” is same as “Membership Level” same as “Email List”)
2. Just add the Autoresponder email sequence to this product.
3. No need to add any content, because you’re not dripping content, but dripping just emails.
4. Click on the “Direct Signup HTML” link and copy the HTML
5. Publish the HTML on any page of your site, just like you would publish a signup form from Aweber or GetResponse.
6. The form collects “First Name” and “Email” from your visitor
7. Anyone who signs up through this form is given access to that Product, and added as a “Free” user
8. You can continue to drip autoresponder emails on them, and also send them email broadcasts.

Case 2: Free Signup. Then Promote Paid One-off Products

1. There are no time limits or trials here. User signs up for free. You continue to promote your products to them.
2. You will need to create 2 products here – 1 Free and 1 Paid
3. Create your paid Product – “Paid Product 1″ as a Non-Subscription product (Is Recurring = No)
4. Set up the content protection, dripping (if any) and emails.
5. Create a new free Product  – “Free Product” – (which contains just free content and autoresponder emails)
6. Use Direct-Signup to signup users for “Free Product”.
7. “Joe Customer” signs up for free through this form, and becomes a free member.
8. Keep dripping free content and emails on them. In the emails, you can promote the sales page(s) for your Paid Product(s).
9. When Joe Customer eventually buys “Paid Product 1″, then now Joe automatically get access to “Paid Product 1″.
10. When you search for Joe Customer’s email on the Users > Manage screen, you will see that Joe now has access to 2 products: “Free Product” and “Paid Product 1″

Case 3: Free Trial with Forced Continuity Forever

1. You offer a 30-day free trial. After trial, subscription payments every 30 days, forever, until they cancel their subscription.
2. Set up a Product in DAP as…
   Is Recurring: Yes
   Recurring Cycle 1: 30
   Recurring Cycle 2: 30
   Recurring Cycle 3: 30
3. You can’t really do a “free” trial. You must charge at least 1 penny ($0.01) [because otherwise, Paypal (for instance) doesn't send the right information in the IPN. And credit card processors won't even validate the credit card if you try to charge $0.00, so when it's time for the subscription to be charged after a month, you will see a lot of declines and rejected cards].
4. Set up your buy button (in Paypal, ClickBank, 1ShoppingCart, etc) to match the above subscription set up in DAP (from Step #2 above): A $0.01 trial for 30 days, then recurring payments of $X every 30 days, forever (never ends).
5. Make sure you use the same Product Name in both DAP and in your buy button.
6. Publish the button on your sales page. When someone clicks on the button and signs up (you’ve already set up the payment processor integration during setup), DAP will automatically give them access to this product for 30 days (Recurring cycle 1).
7. After 30 days, if subscription payment comes in as scheduled, then the user’s “Access End Date” is extended by another 30 days. So they will get access to all the dripped content from Day #31 to Day #60.
8. If user cancels before the trial is over (or their subscription payment fails for some reason), then their “Access End Date” stays the same, which means it automatically expires.

Case 4: Paid Monthly Recurring Product with No Free Trial

1. Create a Product in DAP as…
   Is Recurring: Yes
   Recurring Cycle 1: 30
   Recurring Cycle 2: 30
   Recurring Cycle 3: 30
2. Set up your buy button (in Paypal, ClickBank, 1ShoppingCart, etc) to match the above subscription set up in DAP (from Step #1 above): Instant payment of $X + Recurring payments of $Y every 30 days, with an forever (never ends).
3. Make sure you use the same Product Name in both DAP and in your buy button.
4. Publish the button on your sales page. When someone clicks on the button and signs up (you’ve already set up the payment processor integration during setup), DAP will automatically give them access to this product for 30 days (Recurring cycle 1).
5. After 30 days, if subscription payment comes in as scheduled, then the user’s “Access End Date” is extended by another 30 days. So they will get access to all the dripped content from Day #31 to Day #60.
6. If user cancels before the trial is over (or their subscription payment fails for some reason), then their “Access End Date” stays the same, which means it automatically expires.

Case 5: All Free Content, Available only to “Registered” Members, Dripped Content

1. You wish to make all of your content available for free, but users must “Register” first (i.e., sign-up using their email id) so that you can continue to send them emails and drip content so that they don’t get it all on day #1 and then un-subscribe from your list.
2. Create a Product, say, called “Marketing Tips”.
3. Set “Is Recurring” to “N”.
4. Add content to this product (blog posts, files, etc). Set up the drip for this content (day #1, day #7, etc)
5. Set up email autoresponders, if any, and add to this product.
6. Click on “Direct-Signup HTML” on the Product page, copy signup-form HTML, publish on any page of your web site.
7. “Joe Member” signs up for free through this form, and becomes a free member.
8. DAP will keep dripping free content and emails on members.

Case 6: All Free Content, Available only to “Registered” Members,All available Day 1

1. Almost everything is the same as Case 5 above.
2. Except when you set up the dripping, set all of your content to be available on Day #1.
3. So when user signs up through your squeeze page, they have access to all of the content right away.

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, that these won’t be 1-Click Upsells or 1-Click Downsells.  If you want true 1-Click Upsells, then do check out our plugin, Upsell-Tree, which allows you to do exactly that.

Installation

1. Download the OTO.zip file from your member’s area.
2. Unzip the file to your desktop. There’s one file inside by name continue.php
3. Upload just continue.php file to the main dap folder on your site
4. Create and upload as many upsell.html and downsell.html pages as you want, to your root folder.

Setting up continue.php

When you set up your buy button, after the sale, configure the “return url” to be:

http://YourSite.com/dap/continue.php?url=/upsell1.html

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

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…

http://YourSite.com/dap/continue.php

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

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.

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…

http://YourSite.com/dap/continue.php?url=/upsell2.html

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).

Button Code For “No Thanks”

If your “No Thanks” button is going to lead to a downsell page, then here’s the code:

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

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:

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

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

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.

1-Click Upsells, Downsells and OTO’s are now extremely simple to implement using the new “Upsell Tree” plugin for DAP.

And this plugin works with Paypal Website Payments Pro!

What you need before you can use this plugin

1. You need a Paypal Website Payments Pro merchant account with Recurring Billing enabled.
2. You must have SSL (secure server) enabled on your web site. Ask your web host to enable SSL for your site.
3. You must have a working version of DAP 3.6+.

Installation & Setup of UpsellTree

1. You need at least DAP v3.6 for this. So login to your DAP account and download the latest version of DAP and the LiveLinks.
2. Follow standard procedure for installing DAP (OR) upgrading your DAP & LiveLinks versions. Nothing different there.
3. Purchase the UpsellTree plugin, login to your DAP account and download the plugin zip file, PaypalUpsellTree.zip .
4. Unzip PaypalUpsellTree.zip to your desktop. It will unzip the files to a new folder on your desktop, called “PaypalUpsellTree”.
5. Upload all the files inside, directly to your “dap” folder on your web site. DO NOT upload the folder itself.
6. Log in to your Paypal account and retrieve the following 3 pieces of information:
   * Paypal API Username
   * Paypal API Password
   * Paypal API Signature
7. Now log in to your DAP Dashboard and go to “Config > Payment Processing“.
8. Enter the Paypal API Username, Paypal API Password, and Paypal API Signature that you noted down earlier (Step #9 above) into the respective fields, and click  “Update” next to the fields to save the changes.
9. This step applies to you only if you are already using 1ShoppingCart with DAP (if not, skip to next step):
   Be sure to disable the “Email Order” cron job from your web hosting control panel (“Cron Jobs” screen), because you don’t want your orders to be double-processed.
10. Go to the “Products” page. You will now see a few new fields (some because of of DAP 3.5, some because of the new plugin).
    
    A) Product Price: For a 1-time purchase product, this is the product’s purchase price. For a recurring product, this is the “recurring” price (what the customer gets charged month after month).
    B) Trial Amount: This is only if there’s a trial amount. If no trial, leave this empty.
    C) Recurring Count: How long is your subscription? If you said “Forever”, then enter the number 9999 here. If it ends after 6 months, then enter 6 here.
11. Set these fields to valid values.
12. NOTE: The DAP Authorize.net allows 1 trial. So in the recurring cycle fields, make sure “Payment/Trial Period #2″ and “Payment/Trial Period #3″ are both the same (set to same number of days: like 30). Example below shows the setting for a “7 day” trial period, followed by recurring payments every “30 days”.
    
13. If you are not offering a trial, then just set the Trial Amount to $0.00. But if you really wanted to offer a FREE TRIAL, then you must set the Trial Amount to at least $0.01 (1 penny).
14. Once you’ve saved the product, you can now click on any of the two new “Generate… Button Code” links that are located right below the product list combo box. Image below shows the Authnet links. Similar buttons will show up for Paypal too.
    
15. “Generate Paypal Buy Button” link:
    This generates the buy button HTML code for your product, which you can then directly paste into your sales page. When you click on this link, you will get a pop-up that shows the actual HTML code for your button. The price, trial price, and recurring options are all taken from your Product settings. So make sure you have saved your Product changes before you click on this link.
    
16. Here’s what the HTML code looks like:
    <form name="generate_paypal" method="post" action="https://www.contentresponder.com/dap/buy.php">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Example Subscription Product"/>
<input type="hidden" name="description" value="This is a dummy Subscription Product with a monthly subscription - payments every 30 days." />
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="1.00" />
<input type="hidden" name="trial_amount" value="0.01" />
<input type="hidden" name="total_occurrences" value="9999" />
<input type="hidden" name="is_recurring" value="Y" />
<input type="hidden" name="recurring_cycle_1" value="30" />
<input type="hidden" name="recurring_cycle_2" value="30" />
<input type="hidden" name="recurring_cycle_3" value="30" />
<input type="hidden" name="payment_succ_page" value="https://www.contentresponder.com/dap/continue.php?url=/dap/upsell1.html" />
<input type="hidden" name="payment_gateway" value="authnet" />
<input type="hidden" name="is_submitted" value="Y" />
<input type="submit" value="Buy Now" />
</form>
17. If you’re doing upsells, the only thing you need to do is, look for the “payment_succ_page” field in the above form. By default it is pointing to:
    https://www.contentresponder.com/dap/continue.php?url=/dap/upsell1.html
18. Modify the “upsell1.html” file within your dap folder, to make your 1-Click Upsell offer. Or if you don’t wish to use 1-Click upsells, you can make just about any kind of upsell offer on that page. The upsell1.html that comes with the plugin has a sample upsell page already created for you, just so you get an idea of what that will look like.
19. On the upsell page, if you want to upsell say, Product B, then make sure you set up “Product B” ahead of time in DAP, and set up the price and recurring options. Then for upsell products only, click on the “Generate Authnet 1-Click Upsell” link to generate the 1-Click Upsell Buy button code, as the upsell buy button is slightly different than the ‘regular’ buy button code. Now take the upsell buy button code like you did before, and paste it in upsell1.html. That’s it.
20. You can repeat this process for unlimited upsells, downsells and one-time offers. No limits.

That’s it.

While it looks like a LOT of steps, that is only because we have to explain the steps in detail so they are clear. In reality, it is very simple to set up, and starting from scratch, if you have DAP & SSL already installed, it shouldn’t take you more than 1/2 hour to set up your 1-Click Upsells/Downsells/OTO’s. And if you’re not using Upsells/Downsells, then it can be done even faster.

If you have any further questions, feel free to open a support ticket, and we will assist you in getting this going.

1-Click Upsells, Downsells and OTO’s are now extremely simple to implement using the new “Upsell Tree” plugin for DAP.\

What you need before you can use this plugin

1. You need an Authorize.net merchant account with Automated Recurring Billing (ARB) enabled.
2. You must have SSL (secure server) enabled on your web site. Ask your web host to enable SSL for your site.
3. You must have a working version of DAP 3.5+.

Installation & Setup of UpsellTree

1. You need at least DAP v3.5 for this. So login to your DAP account and download DAP v3.5 and the LiveLinks v1.1.
2. Follow standard procedure for installing DAP (OR) upgrading your DAP & LiveLinks versions. Nothing different there.
3. Purchase the UpsellTree plugin, login to your DAP account and download the plugin zip file, AuthnetUpsellTree.zip .
4. Unzip AuthnetUpsellTree.zip to your desktop. It will unzip the files to a new folder on your desktop, called “AuthnetUpsellTree”.
5. Upload all the files inside, directly to your “dap” folder on your web site. DO NOT upload the folder itself.
6. Log in to your Authorize.net account, go to the “Settings” page.
7. Click on the “Silent Post URL”.
   
8. Change it to:   http://YourSite.com/dap/dap-silentpost.php . Be sure to change the text “YourSite.com” to your actual domain name.
   
9. On the same settings page, click on the “API Login ID and Transaction Key” link towards the bottom, and make a note of your “API Login ID” and “Transaction Key” on a piece of paper. That page also lets you create a new Transaction key or modify your existing one.
   
   That’s it from the Authnet side.
10. Now log in to your DAP Dashboard and go to “Config > Payment Processing“.
11. Enter the “API Login ID” and “Transaction Key” that you noted down earlier (Step #9 above) into the respective fields, and click  “Update” next to the fields to save the changes.

When your visitor encounters a “Sorry, you’re unable to access this content” page that has the DAP Padlock image on it, you can customize the text that shows up below the padlock by doing this:

1) Open the file error.php that is stored in the /dap/inc/ folder.

2) RENAME it as (or COPY it as) customerror.php.

3) You can put ANY kind of HTML content within this. Images, javascript, css,, buttons, text, whatever. Any HTML can be used in this file.

4) Upload this new file customerror.php back to same folder /dap/inc/

5) error.php doesn’t matter any more. Whether you delete it, or just leave it alone, the fact that there is a customerror.php file in the same directory means that DAP won’t even bother about error.php any more.

6) Future updates of DAP will not touch your customerror.php file. So updates or upgrades will not mess with your custom error page copy.

DAP works off-the-shelf on almost all decent web hosts.

But as in any industry, some hosts are just outdated, run old, outdated and deprecated versions of the software, do not offer a choice to upgrade to the latest server software (like a recent version of PHP or MySQL). And some are just not helpful at all.

If you had a choice of picking a new web host, then here are the web hosts we use ourselves, and highly recommend, and they have everything readily available that DAP needs to run smoothly.

1) Dream Host

2) Host Monster

3) Blue Host

If your host is not shown here, it doesn’t mean that DAP won’t work on your host.

These just happen to be the ones we recommend if you have the option of picking a new web host.

Plus that is exactly why we offer the free 30-day trial – to make sure DAP can run on your current web site, and also help you decide if DAP will work for you.

So there’s no risk to you, regardless of who you are hosting with.
