OTO’s are now part of DAP. And they’re available for free to all DAP users.
This OTO script can also be used for making Upsells and Downsells too!
Only thing you have to remember is, that these won’t be 1-Click Upsells or 1-Click Downsells. If you want true 1-Click Upsells, then do check out our plugin, Upsell-Tree, which allows you to do exactly that.
The Basics
- There is a file in your dap folder, called continue.php . This is the OTO script.
- Create and upload as many upsell and downsell pages – named, say, upsell1.html, downsell1.html, upsell2.html, downsell2.html – etc and store them in your root folder – the folder where your home page is (not in the dap folder).
Setting up continue.php
When you set up your buy button, after the sale, configure the “return url” to be:
http://YourSite.com/dap/continue.php?url=/upsell1.html
Of course, you should have already created a page called upsell1.html and uploaded it to the root of your web site (where your home page is).
So after your buyer has purchased your product, and arrive at this first upsell page, the URL they see in their browser will actually look like…
http://YourSite.com/dap/continue.php
They will not see the text “/upsell1.html” in the url, because continue.php would have already stripped out the file name from the end of the link.
So even if they bookmark it or share it with others, the URL they see will just be http://YourSite.com/dap/continue.php – which means they can’t get back to that page, and neither will the people they have shared the link with.
On each upsell page, you can make any offer you want. Let’s say you put the buy button on this upsell page to buy a different product. Now when you create the buy button for this new upsell product, make sure the “return url” for that button, is now…
http://YourSite.com/dap/continue.php?url=/upsell2.html
And you can also put a “No Thanks” button on each of these upsell pages, which could in turn take them either to a downsell page, or to an order completion page (where you thank them for your purchase).
Button Code For “No Thanks”
If your “No Thanks” button is going to lead to a downsell page, then here’s the code:
<form action=“http://YourSite.com/dap/continue.php?url=/downsell1.html” method=”post” >
<input type=”submit” value=”No, Thanks. I’ll skip this special offer” />
</form>
If your “No Thanks” button is going to lead to a final thank you page, where there are no more upsells or downsells, and where you simply thank your buyer for the purchase, then the code for that is:
<form action=“http://YourSite.com/dap/continue.php?url=/thankyou.html” method=”post” >
<input type=”submit” value=”No, Thanks. I’ll skip this special offer” />
</form>
Yes, you do need to be just a little bit technical for this. So, if you absolutely did not understand anything written above, then you should probably not be attempting to be doing OTO’s.
But if you simply have questions about how to use this for what you’re thinking to do, please feel free to ask them in the comments below.

How do I get the nicer looking interface you have now?
I have only had the program for 2 weeks, when did you upgrade the look?
Linda,
It is not out yet. Should be released in about a week or so along with the other new features.

Ravi, it’s possibile to configure the OTO after the free direct signup?
Thanks
Fred,
Of course. You can use the “redirect” field in the direct signup HTML to redirect to continue.php and set up what’s the OTO page is.

Can this also help me with the pre-sale Upsell or is it only designed for post-sale Upsell?
Ankur,
The OTO script will let you insert pages in any flow. So you can use it in both pre-sell and post-sell flow.

Hello,
Does the OTO plugin work with ClickBank?
Is this the same as the upsell tree plugin for paypal standard?
So are people brought to paypal once and then to a final confirmation page as well after the upsells etc?
Thanks
Yes, it will work with CB. You just need to point the CB thankyou page to point to your OTO page.
>> Is this the same as the upsell tree plugin for paypal standard? So are people brought to paypal once and then to a final confirmation page as well after the upsells etc?
<<
With OTO, the user will be brought to Paypal each time unlike the paypal standard upsell plugin where the users have to login to paypal only once.
It would be nice if you could set a special price for a product when the user buys from the upsell page.
I hope you can add it in some future release.

If the buyer comes back and buys another copy of the main product, can I send them to the same OTO page a second time, or a third time?
I want to hammer it home. LOL. But I don’t want it accessible unless they have just bought the lead product.
sussed it on another page
I am confused about pointing them to to DAP Thankyou Page – I need that to be an optimizepress salesletter page so I can show the thank you video then offer the upsell.
Can I combine the 2 together somehow? The functionality of the DAP Thankyou, and the styling of the Optimizepress Salesletter?
For golive I’ll lose the automated login, but at some point I’m going to need to combine it
thanks for any tips.

Yes, if the button is configured to point to the OTO page, then each time a user makes a purchase via that button, they will land on the OTO page.

The OTO page cannot be a WP page. Needs to be a static html page.

If you use the dap generated button for paypal, then you can use the 'redirect' tag in the button code to send users wherever you want upon purchase. So yes, you can send them to the OTO page this way without losing auto-login. DAP will first auto-login the user and then redirect to whatever you set in the redirect tag.
