Ravi and Veena,
We’ve launched a test version of our site. Things are working very well. Hurray!

I have questions for down the road … we have an ongoing membership fee that we’re processing using authorize.net ARB. I’m wondering about how to handle changes in credit card information, say when a card expires or when the cc number changes. I’d like for people to handle this BEFORE the card expires or if they know the cc number has changed. Suggestions?

Thanks!
–Karen

Ravi and Veena,

Is the new version 4.0 going to have the Plimus Plugin updated?, please let me know, I think that would be very helpful for international users, as im in Mexico and had problems with my PayPal account.

Please let me know.

Thanks
Carlos B.

Carlos,
Yes, the DAP version 4.0 will have support for Plimus.

Karen,
DAP does not handle changes in credit card information, or notification to users when a card expires or when the cc number changes. This will have to handled within your authorize.net merchant account.

Hi, has this changed or is this feature coming? Any pro-active tools like this would have tremendous value to DAP. Please update me. Thanks.

No plans to add this feature but we will add support for automated cancellations /refunds (where the cancellation / refund request can be triggered by DAP to say authnet) so you can mange it within DAP and not have to login to your merchant account to manage.

There is more value in adding features to support the members that are staying behind rather than developing features around cancellations/refunds.

Any idea if you’re going to integrate with BrainTree Payments systems? It’s a great platform that 37Signals and many other SaaS companies use.

I’d love to see it apart of DAP!

#10 Veena Prashanth on 03.08.11 at 3:38 pm

Hi Chris,

With DAP 4.1, we have created support for any payment systems integration with DAP as long as the payment system supports IPN notification via HTTP post.

See – http://www.digitalaccesspass.com/doc/3rd-party-shopping-cart-integration/

Any chance you’ll integrate with Magento Go in the near future?

#12 Veena Prashanth on 05.13.11 at 2:59 pm

Lia,

We might not add support for it in the near future but you can use the DAP IPN scripts to integrate it yourself.

So you’re saying that DAP is not the all-in-one solution for the shopping cart then?

If it serves as a shopping cart, then you should be able to pull the order and click refund so it processes the refund and then, does a chargeback to the affiliate commissions just in case affiliate commissions were paid?

Right?

How do you handle this besides a lot of extra work?

#14 Ravi Jayagopal on 05.30.11 at 9:31 pm

John,

>>So you’re saying that DAP is not the all-in-one solution for the shopping cart then?< <
Sure, you could say that. DAP does have its limitations when it comes to being a specialized shopping cart, and it does not have some of the advanced features like say, 1SiteAutomation.com.

But we realize that, and we're not looking to add certain features any time soon (like quantity, color etc).

We're also not going to be storing credit card information of the user on your site - which is what will allow you to do refunds and cancellations right from within the DAP Admin Dashboard on your site.

Cancellations is very simple - you don't have to do anything within DAP at all.

See http://www.digitalaccesspass.com/doc/cancellations-and-refunds/

>>How do you handle this besides a lot of extra work? < <
I don't know about calling it a "lot of extra work" - it's only a couple of extra clicks, but yes, extra clicks for sure.

See http://www.digitalaccesspass.com/doc/cancellation-or-refund-requests/

Unfortunately, we’re not going to be changing that any time soon, because storing credit card information within DAP on your site comes with its own security issues and protocols, which you won’t be technically qualified to deal with, and we can’t do it for you because DAP is meant to be a self-hosted solution – and not a fully-hosted solution like 1SiteAutomation.com . So for those who want those extra features, 1SiteAutomation.com is the way to go.

And DAP already does reversal of affiliate commissions for refunds. So that’s not an issue.

Is there an issue with Auth.net ARB and Godaddy?

#16 irfan on 12.28.11 at 4:10 pm

I can’t find any information on how DAP integrates with Google Checkout. I would be grateful if you could provide such information. Thanks in advance.

#17 Veena Prashanth on 12.29.11 at 1:59 pm

Irfan,
You will find a script called dap-gc-responsehandler.php in your dap folder..

Change this line in that script:
$server_type = “‘sandbox”;

So to point to production, change it to:
$server_type = “‘production”; // change this to ‘production’ to go live

Update DAP setup -> config -> Secret Authorization Key to be
Your GC merchant_id|YourGC merchant key (pipe delimited)

Point the GC IPN handler to http://yoursite.com/dap/dap-gc-responsehandler.php (replace yoursite.com with the name of your site).

Create a DAP product and make sure the item name that you are trying to sell via GC exactly matches the product name in DAP.

That’s it.

>>Is there an issue with Auth.net ARB and Godaddy? <<
None that we are aware of.

I am using Godaddy as your web host, and if they disables a mandatory PHP library (“imap”) on all their servers and since DAP is unable to process the recurring order email notifications from 1ShoppingCart. can i just have 1SC manage my payments and use DAP for my content drip, autoresponders only?

#20 Veena Prashanth on 01.06.12 at 6:25 pm

If DAP is not able to connect to the email account where you have the 1sc recurring emails, then dap will not be able to automatically extend content access upon successful payment. If the access is not extended, then the users wont have access to paid-for content.

If you want to continue to use godaddy, 1sc and dap, then you can setup recurring product as a one-time product in dap. Set it up as a recurring product in 1sc and use 1sc to sell it.

You can still use day-based dripping in dap.
So the users will have an access end date of 12/31/9999 upon purchase (as it’s defined as one-time product in dap).

If a user cancels payment, you will have to manually reset their access end date in dap. The content dripping will control what they get to see based on their membership life.
