DAP Shopping Cart Overview
The DAP built-in shopping cart has a lot of great updates in DAP 4.2.
What does the shopping cart offer?

=> Support for Order/Checkout Form customization at product level. For ex – Show “Coupon Code”, Show “How did you hear about us?”, Show “Comments”, CART header/footer html, Show “Ship-To Address on Checkout”, Show “Terms And Conditions”, Request “Phone” on Checkout?, Request “Address2” on Checkout? etc
=> FULLY integrated with WordPress so your order/checkout page will carry the look&feel of your wordpress theme.

=> Unlimited Upsells
What you need in order to use the DAP Shopping Cart:
1. You need an Authorize.net merchant account or Paypal Payments PRO account
2. If you want to sell subscription-based products, then you also need Automated Recurring Billing (ARB) enabled in your Authorize.net account.
3. You must have SSL (secure server) enabled on your web site. Ask your web host to enable SSL/HTTPs for your site.
What it looks like when its implemented on your site:
WordPress version (cart appears within your WP page)
1) Buy Now
2) Add-to-cart
NON-WordPress version (stand-alone cart page)
1) Buy Now
2) Add-to-cart
Setting Up The Cart
=> Create the product that you want to sell in DAP Admin => Products / Levels => Manage Products Page
=> Customize the cart/order page in DAP Admin => Payment Processing => Cart Options Page
=> Generate the Primary Buy Button in DAP Admin => Payment Processing => Generate Buy Button Page
NOTE: If you do not want to offer upsells, just set the ‘Payment Success Page’ to point to the final landing page. Otherwise point it to the next upsell page in the flow.
=> If you want the checkout and checkout confirmation pages to have the look&feel of your wordpress theme, then create the following wordpress pages and use the URL of these pages in the button generation page above:
– A WordPress page with the merge tag %%DAPCART%% (this is the page where Credit Card and other info is collected from the user).
– A WordPress page with the merge tag %%DAPCARTSUMMARY%% (this is the page where users can see the items added to their cart.. just applies to add-to-cart button).
=> Generate the Upsell/No Thanks Button in DAP Admin => Payment Processing => Generate Buy Button Page
If you want to offer more upsells, just point the ‘Payment Success Page’ to the next upsell page in the flow.
