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 Product Name within DAP should be the exact same (even the case) as the Product Name in your Shopping Cart.

So if you were using a 1ShoppingCart (or private label) to accept payment for selling your digital info product or for access to your membership site, then the Product Name you use in your 1ShoppingCart admin panel should be the exact same name as what you use within DAP.

This is the only way for DAP to know about a new purchase through your 1ShoppingCart cart. And when it parses your 1ShoppingCart notification email, it can figure out that your buyer who purchased that product needs to be added to DAP, so that your buyer can get access to either your info product files, or to your subscription-based site.

So just how easy is it to create a Product in DAP? Incredibly easy, as you will see below.

Product Name:

Obviously, this is the name you give your product. So if you are creating a product (subscription-based, or one-time purchase) about how to make money online, then you would call it “How to make money online”. This name will be used by DAP on various screens, emails and reports. So, name it something intuitive, and not something cryptic.

Description:

Use this to expand on what your product does. This field is used on auto-generated error pages and such.

Sales Page URL (optional):

When a user who doesn’t have access to the links in this product, DAP can show her a default error page (see “Error Page URL” below), and on that error page, it will say something to the effect of “Sorry, you don’t have access to this Product. You have to purchase access to it first.” and then the link to this “Sales Page URL” will be shown, which the user can then follow to read your sales page and then purchase the product.

Error Page URL (optional):

If you use the default value above, then DAP will show the default error page when a user tries to access a URL that she doesn’t have access to yet, URL to which access has expired, or she hasn’t purchased the product of which the URL is a part of.

Is this a recurring product?

Pick “Yes” or “No” depending on if this product is a recurring product for which you expect periodic payments to come in.

If you pick “No”, then when the user purchases this product (or you give her direct access from the admin area), then the user is given access from Day 1 to Day 9999.

Price

Enter the price of your product, regardless of whether it is one-time or recurring. This data is not used by DAP currently. In the future, this may be used for payment validation purposes.

Billing Cycle

Applicable only if recurring is set to yes. If this is a recurring product, then you need to enter how often billing is done (in days). So, if your product is available for a monthly subscription, then enter “30″ (as in, billing occurs once every “30″ days).

Product Status

If you want to temporarily remove access for all users to all URL’s in this product, then change the status to “Inactive”.

3rd Party Notification Email Ids

If you want DAP to send email notifications to 3rd party email addresses (like autoresponder services, or JV partners), then enter one or more email addresses here - separate multiple email addresses by a comma.

Every time a user subscribes (paid or free) to this product, an email is sent out by DAP to all these email addresses - the “from name” is the subscriber’s name, and the “from email” is the subscriber’s email address

This is very useful for automatically adding your subscriber to a 3rd party list service that has a “subscribable” email address - like yourautoresponder@1siteautomation.com or subscribe@yourlist.com .

Once you fill out the fields, click on the “Save/Update Product” button to save the changes.

Use the same form to make changes to the fields as well.

Random Stuff About Products

A Product is just a collection of “Files” and “Emails”.

So if you are running a subscription site on “How To Train Dogs”, you could give your product the same name - “How to Train Dogs”.

For every new “subscription” based product you wish to sell and manage using DAP, you need to create a new “Product” within DAP.

You can add both “Files” (basically links) as well as “Emails” to an existing Product.

Adding files means that as an admin, you can say which files on your web site are part of this product, and you can go into each link and specify the access control for that file (is that file free or paid, when is it accessible to the user and for how long, etc). You can add files from your web site using the provided file browser within the “Manage Products” page, or you can also add using full URL’s (like http://www.YourSite.com/dogtraining/protect-this-post.html).

Adding emails means you can setup an email autoresponse to be a part of this Product, and that email can be configured to go out to the user after “X” number of days after she has joined, or on a specific date (in case your email is date- or time- sensitive.
