1) Update DAP Setup > Config -> Secret Authorization Key to be…

YourGCmerchant_id|YourGCmerchant_key

2) Point the Google Checkout IPN handler to

http://yoursite.com/dap/dap-gc-responsehandler.php

(replace yoursite.com with the name of your site).

3) Create a DAP product and make sure the item name that your GC Item Name exactly matches the DAP Product Name.

That’s it!

NOTE

You will find a file by name dap-gc-responsehandler.php in your dap folder.

Use this file as is, with no changes, during testing. Nothing to change.

But once you’re ready to go live, open the file, and find the line below:
$server_type = “‘sandbox”;

And change it to:
$server_type = “‘production”;

1) Go to DigiResults.com “Manage” products tab at https://www.digiresults.com/manage/products

2) Click on the Product Name

3) Click on Product Details tab

4) Click on Advanced Settings and set the Direct Receipt URL to point to the dap script on your site…

http://YOURSITE.com/dap/dap-digiresults.php

5) Create a product in DAP and make sure the dap Product Name exactly matches the digiresults Product Name.

That’s it!

Now run a test purchase via digiresults and see if the account gets created in dap automatically.

Here’s what you need to do to disable the standard vB login form at the top-right corner of your forum pages, and customize it so that you force your members to log in via the DAP login form, so that they’re logged in to your membership site as well as DAP.

1. Log in to VB Admin control panel at http://yoursite.com/forums/admincp/
2. Go to Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Default (or whatever style you’re currently using)
3. From the big list on the left, select the “header” template. Then on the right, under the “Controls” section, click on Edit
4. On the resulting page, copy the full code from this text file and paste into the main “Template” body, and click on “Save”
5. Next, download the file forums/register.php from your server, to your desktop and save the original copy somewhere safe.
6. Replace the contents of that file with the contents of this text file.

That’s it!

DAP now integrates with 2CO!

To integrate DAP with your 2CO account, pls update the IPN in your 2CO account to point to http://yoursite.com/dap/dap-2co.php (replace yoursite.com with the name of your site) for the following events:

- Order Created
– Fraud Status Changed
– Recurring Installment Success
– Recurring Installment Failed
– Recurring Restarted

NOTE: When you create products in 2CO to sell, make sure you create products by the EXACT same name in DAP otherwise the transaction will not be processed by DAP.

Here’s how the script will work:

1) Order Created

DAP will create and activate the membership account at the time of purchase.
DAP will look for the message type of ORDER_CREATED and invoice_status of “approved” to automatically create the membership account. The user will receive the welcome email with full access to the purchased items (based on content drip settings in dap products page) upon purchase completion.

2) Fraud Status Changed

2CO approves or disapproves a purchase inmediately. If the purchase is approved, DAP will receive an “Order created” message via IPN from 2CO; if not, 2CO will not send any message. After that, 2CO has a “second tier” fraud check. Upon the completion of Fraud Check, 2CO will send out FRAUD_STATUS_CHANGED message. DAP will not take any action if fraud_status = “pass”. But if fraud_status in NOT “pass”, then dap will set the user’s product status in DAP to INACTIVE.  So the user will not be able to access the DAP product any more.

3) Recurring Installment Success

Upon successful recurring payment notification from 2CO, DAP will simply extend the user’s access end date based on the ‘recurring cycle’ setting in dap products page -> Price/Recurring tab for the product.

4) Recurring Installment Failed

DAP will reset the access end date to current date if recurring payment fails so user will not be able to access content past the failed date.

5) Recurring Restarted

DAP will start back from where the user last left off. The user’s access end date will be extended from whatever it was set to previously. The access end date is extended based on the recurring period settings in the dap products page -> Price/Recurring tab for the product.

Here’s how the MSIAB “Starter” Concierge sessions work:

* Please note that with the “Starter” Concierge service, you get a total of *3 hours* of 1-on-1 setup and configuration and DAP walk-thru. So you’re free to manage those 3 hours of time you’re getting, by guiding us to focus on the things most important to you (like MailChimp Integration, Content Protection, Affiliate Setup, etc).

* Any time left over from either the 1-on-1 call or the offline time, may not be re-used for any other purposes (like, asking us to additional software installation, etc). Any time left unused will be forfeited if not used within 6 months (180 days).

* The bonuses or time provided may not be transferred to others.

* So after you purchase the MSIAB license, pls open a ticket at http://DigitalAccessPass.com/support/ with all of the following site credentials that we will need for installaing DAP on your site.

* Then we set up a 2-hour call with you, give you a crash-course in using DAP, set up end-to-end of a product, set up your various member-facing pages, go over all of your questions, etc.

* And then, we recommend that you take a few days to use DAP by yourself, play with the different settings and options, set up the rest of of your actual content, create your actual products, decide on the pricing, create your sales pages, squeeze pages, etc.

* By this time, you will have more questions, and more ideas. So, at that point, contact us via the same ticket as before, and request your final 1-hour Concierge session. During this final call, we can go over any other questions you may have, or anything else you may need help with in completing the set up of your membership site.

While we actually don’t require anything to be setup ahead of the calls, the more components you have already set up (or have made some progress on, or have at least given a thought to) going into the call – like your theme look & feel, your nav menu, your pages, sub-pages, Aweber email sequence, etc), the quicker you will be able to launch after the calls.

The only thing we really need is for you to have absolutely every third-party component’s login and password information handy and available – like Aweber login, WP admin, FTP, Authorize.net/Paypal/ClickBank/other, Web hosting cPanel, etc).

We may need most of it during setup (you don’t *have* to give it to us – you must at least be able to log in yourself and follow our instructions on the call – we can help you by allowing you to share your screen and walking you through the steps).

And you’ll really benefit from watching some of our videos ahead of time – like the tutorial videos we have added, at http://DigitalAccessPass.com/documentation/ (at the top on the menu on the left, look under the “DAP Tutorials: End-to-End” section).

So, to summarize, here’s a list of things that we can and cannot do.

What we CAN do:
* Set up your member pages: Login page, “My Content” page, “My Affiliate” page and “Profile” page
* Setup up to 6 different products or “levels”
* Set up any free products, and show you how to sign up free members
* Set up the DAP shopping cart if required and connect it to a supported payment gateway
* Create buy buttons for your various products, and set it all up so that people can go from your site to buying your product to being logged in to the member’s area
* Walk you through end-to-end testing of your sales funnel
* Integrate DAP with your payment processor or 1SiteAutomation.com cart
* Setup 1-Click Upsells if you’re going to offer them
* Set up “Self-Service Store” – which is our “Credits” plugin and integrate it with your products and your content, so that you can award your members with “Credits”
* Setup and install vBulletin and integrate it with your membership levels or products so that certain members can access certain forums only
* Set up full content protection, content dripping, product chaining
* Set up email autoresponders and show you how to do broadcasts
* Set up your affiliate program, commissions for your various products, set up the affiliate info page for your members, and show you how to run reports and also pay your affiliates, etc

What we WILL NOT be doing:
* Designing your web site headers, graphics, skins, css, etc
* Create any kind of web site content, videos, write articles, blog posts or pages, etc
* Create your navigation, menu, organizing or arranging your content, etc
* Setup your squeeze pages, launch funnel, etc

Starting v4.2.1, DAP now integrates with Premium Web Cart (PWC)

PWC=>DAP integration is very simple to set up.

NOTE:

• If your DAP version is 4.2 or earlier, you must upgrade to DAP v4.2.1 & LiveLinks v1.7.
• If you are already using DAP v4.2.1, then download the very latest dap_v4.2.1 zip from the member’s area, unzip the contents to your desktop, and upload just the dap-pwc.php (within the main dap folder on your desktop) to the dap folder on your site.

Integration Steps

• Login to your PWC account.
• Go to Cart Settings > Advance Integration.
• Select PWC IPN tab.
• Set the PWC IPN URL to http://yoursite.com/dap/dap-pwc.php  (Note: replace yoursite.com with the name of your site)

User Flow

• Buyer clicks on the buy button (button created within your PWC account and published on your sales page).
• Buyer completes the payment successfully and is transferred to the thankyou page.
• PWC notifies DAP via IPN about the purchase.
• DAP automatically creates the member account, and sends thank-you email (configured in your dap products page) with login info to the buyer.   NOTE: Make sure to setup the thankyou email in the DAP products page for all the products you sell via DAP.
• When the user logs in to their membership area, they will be redirected to either product-level logged-in URL or global logged-in url based on whether they have access to just 1 product or multiple products. The product level logged-in url is used if the user has access to just 1 product. The global logged-in url (under dap setup -> config -> advanced -> url to which user is redirected upon login) is used when user has access to multiple products.

Note: You can create a member’s area and redirect users to that page upon purchase.

There are two main items that need to be addressed when it comes to a member wanting to Upgrade or Downgrade their Subscription from one membership “level” (a.k.a “Product” in DAP) to another.

1) Modifying the actual recurring payments to reflect the new amount

2) Giving them appropriate access as per the upgrade (or downgrade)

So let’s see how both of these are accomplished.

1) Modifying Recurring Payments

You do need to take some manual action for this. The way to do it is….

• Ask your members to sign up for the new product/level/subscription separately, like it were a new sign up
• Cancel their old subscription manually. When using Paypal standard, this can be done by both you (as the admin) and the member themselves. But with all of the other payment solutions, you (the admin) will have to log in to the payment gateway (Authorize.net or Paypal Website Payments Pro) and manually delete the member’s old subscription). DAP will not automatically remove user’s old subscription profile in your payment gateway.

2) Giving your member access to new level

Set up automation rules using DAP’s Product Chaining feature, so that if they sign up for one Product (or “level”), they’re automatically removed from another Product (or level).

So if they are currently signed up to your “Gold Membership”, then when they sign up afresh for the “Platinum Membership”, then set up a Product Chaining rule that says, “If member signs up for Platinum Membership, then remove them from Gold Membership”. This is just to make sure that they don’t have access to two products (or “levels”) at the same time.

DAP offers a number of affiliate statistics on the “Affiliates > Reports” page.

Here’s how it looks as of DAP v4.2.1.

1) Email Id of Affiliate

This is the field where you would enter the email id of an affiliate, if you want to generate a report specifically for an affiliate. If you leave it blank, the report will include all affiliates.

2) “From” & “To” Dates

By default, if you leave these fields blank, then DAP will assume “today’s” date – i.e., the date whenever you’re viewing this page.

3) View Performance Summary

This is the most detailed report available. This is the report being viewed in the above screenshot. For a given time period, for a given number of affiliates (“all” affiliates if (1) is left blank above), it shows…

• Affiliate Id
• Full Name
• Email id
• Clicks generated during selected period
• Referrals generated (includes total of both Free and Paid referrals): If the referred member actually bought something, it constitutes a “Paid” referral. If they simply signed up, say, for your free newsletter or free report or free product, then it is counted as a “Free” referral.
• Commissions Earned: This is the actual amount credited to the affiliate’s account during the selected period
• Sales Generated: This is the amount of the actual sale (purchase) generated for your membership site.
• Earnings Per Click (EPC): This is an indicator of how well your web site is converting clicks into signups/members. So if an affiliate sent you 100 clicks (on their affiliate link), and 5% of them signed up for your “FaceBook Secrets” membership product by paying $10 each, it means a total revenue of $10 x 5 = $50. And if you were paying 30% affiliate commissions for the product, then the affiliate earned $15 in total.Total clicks sent: 100
  Total affiliate earnings from those 100 clicks: $15
  Earnings Per Click (EPC) = $15/100 = $0.15 – which means, 15 cents per click.The higher the EPC, the easier it will be for you to attract other JV partners and super-affiliates.

4) View Earnings Details

This shows the breakdown of each purchase referred by each affiliate. It’s a detailed view of the affiliate earnings, that lists each and every transaction (order) in the system that was referred by affiliates, all generated for the selected time period. It displays…

• Affiliate Id
• Full Name
• Email Id
• Product (name) that was purchased by referred buyer
• Referral Date (when affiliate was associated with buyer)
• Date/Time of actual transaction
• Trans Id: This is the transaction (order) id for the actual purchase
• Earning Type (L: Lead, S: Sale): Says what type of a commission credit it was – whether it was a “Pay Per Sale” credit or a “Pay Per Lead” credit.
• Id of User Referred: This tells you the actual user id of the buyer who was referred by the affiliate.

5) View Payments

This shows all payments made to affiliates during the period.

6) Refund Period

This is a config setting that you can change in Setup > Config. This is what drives which orders are picked up for affiliate payment. See this article for more details.

7) View Due Payments as of <date>

This is the MAIN button you should click to start the process of paying your affiliates each month (or however often it is that you pay affiliates). When you click this button, it will show you a report (see screenshot below) of commissions owed on all orders in the system UNTIL  X days ago, where X is your “Refund Period”.

So if today is 10/01/2011, and you have a refund period of 60 days, then DAP will only consider orders prior to 60 days as of today. Which means, orders up to 08/01/2011 (of course, depending on how many days in a month, you may not exactly end up with 08/01/2011, because it goes an actual 60 days back from today – and sometimes, the report will stop at the 2nd or 3rd day of the month – like 08/03/2011. But that’s ok, don’t worry about it). You just focus on paying your affiliates on whatever day you wish to make the payment.

So when you click on this button, DAP will bring you a summary report of all affiliates, and how much they’re owed today, for all transactions referred by them as of 08/01/2011 (as per this example).

And when you click on the “Export These Affiliates For Payment” button shown in the screenshot above, DAP will select and mark those affiliates as being exported for payment.

And DAP will show you Paypal Mass-Pay Ready text report, with the affiliate info and the commission amount info already filled in and ready to go. If you’re paying via Paypal Mass-Pay, then all you need is this file. See this post for details.

NOTE: Being exported for payment doesn’t mean that you’ve actually paid them. Exporting affiliates for payment only means that DAP has now “set aside” those affiliates for payment, and you still need to tell DAP that you’ve actually paid your affiliates.

This is important, because you might export affiliates for payment on the first of the month, but it may take you a day or two (or 10) to actually make the payment – especially if you’re sending out Checks.

So once you’ve made the payment either through Paypal mass-pay, or by mailing your affiliates physical checks, then you need to tell DAP that you’ve actually sent out the payments, which is what you’ll do in the step below.

8 ) Mark Affiliates from <export> as Paid

This is where you will select the most recent export from the drop down (see #8 in first image at the very top), and click the “Paid” button. This is what actually lets DAP know that you’ve actually made the payment, and only after you do this, will the affiliates see the payment show up in the “Payments” section on their “Affiliate Info” page.

9) Archived Reports

This is just a report that shows you past commission payment exports.
