DAP does all of its Payment Processing through Email.

We did this because you then don’t have to fiddle around with different systems (like Paypal IPN, for instance) to integrate DAP with your Payment processor.

So, for all supported Payment Processors, all you need to do is to login as admin, and configure DAP to point to your “billing” email address and password, so that DAP can periodically log in to your email, look for new purchases, and add those customers to your membership site automatically.

For more details (whether you are using ClickBank, Paypal, or 1ShoppingCart), see ClickBank Integration (which is the exact same for Paypal and 1ShoppingCart too - and all future payment processors that DAP will soon support.

DAP Currently works with Paypal, ClickBank and 1Shoppingcart (and its private labels).

So here’s how your sales process works:
1. Go to DAP admin control panel, go to “Config” screen and set up the “Payment Integration” drop down like shown here. Basically all you are actually doing is to tell DAP where your payment notification emails come in (you tell DAP what that email address is, and provide it with the password).

2. Set up your sales page as you would normally do, when accepting payment through Paypal, ClickBank or 1Shoppingcart. The only thing you need to make sure is to use the exact same “Product Name’ in both your buy button as well as within DAP.

So, if you set up a product called “My Membership Site” within DAP, then use the same name “My Membership Site” in your shopping cart too (or Paypal buy button), as the product name.
3. During installation, a Cron job has already been set up to run the “Payment Processing Job” to run every 10 minutes. So, every 10 minutes, DAP will automatically check the “payment email address” that you specified in your “Config” (step 1) and if there is a payment for a product name that matches the product name in DAP, then it will automatically add that customer to DAP as a member.

That’s it!

NOTE: If you ever change the name of your product in your shopping cart or on your web site, make sure to change the product name to the new one within DAP also.

The Configuration data of your DAP installation can be customized online.

1. Log in to DAP as admin at:
   Example.com/dap/
2. Click on the “Config” link in the nav bar at the top.
3. You will see a drop-down (showing “Basic” by default). You can modify option by option (”Basic”, “Payment Processing”, etc) or view them all together at one time (”All”).
4. WARNING: Save each modified config field individually. This means, every time you modify one row of config data, hit the “Save” button at the end of that row. You will not be able to change multiple rows and have all of them saved all at once. It has to be saved row by row*.
5. Change data like “Site Name”, “Admin Name”, “Admin Email” etc.

That’s it!

NOTE: The reason why we allow only one row to be “Saved” at a time, is to prevent you from messing up (by accident) config stuff that was already working. So, this way, you can mess up only one row at a time
