Installing Self-Service Store (SSS)

  1. Make sure you have first installed DAP v3.0, because SSS won’t work if you have less than v3.0.
  2. Download the Self-Service-Store.zip file from the member’s area.
  3. Unzip the 3 files inside:
    creditHistory.php
    selfService.php
    selfService-submit.php
  4. Upload them directly into your “dap” folder.
  5. Log out of DAP admin and log back in, just to be sure.
  6. Go to “Config > Advanced” screen in DAP Admin Control Panel. You will see two new SSS parameters:

    Self-Service: Allow members to use credits and choose products a-la-carte.
    Set this to “Y” and click ‘Update’

    How to order the products displayed in your Self-Service Store?
    Set this to “Oldest First” and click ‘Update’

  7. You will now see new fields show up on the Products page.
  8. Set one product as your “Master” product. This is the product towards which subscription payments come in.
  9. Create as many “Child” Products as you want. These “Child” Products are the ones that your members will get to choose from.
  10. Set the credits information for both Master and Child products. And you are all set.

That’s it!

You could include some hints about how to show the cart, like ‘browse to yoursite.com/dap/selfService.php’ and how and where to customize it.

Like, can it be shown in my Wordpress as is, or does in need some support in DAP-WP-Livelinks?

How and where do I specify how many of each product can be purchased?

And, what needs to happen to make it check for available credits and deduct them when adding to cart?

How do I see what’s in the cart now? It automatically gives access to the checked product.
