You will have to integrate it with dap using the dap using the dap plugin framework.

What needs to happen to integrate 3rd party physical product fulfillment? i.e., a paperback book shipped from my fulfillment house.

Hi Veena,

Thanks for the info – the latter part of your reply is what I was thinking I had to do: create 2 different products as the payment interval and the price are different

For example

Membership A

monthly subscription: .02 per month
year subscription: .10 per year

Therefore I would need to have

Membership A1 – with .02 and another copy as membership A2 with .10

Thanks for the reply!

Pravesh,
Yes, you can have 2 prices for 1 product.

If the price is all that is different between the products, then all you have to do is create 1 product in DAP and then create multiple payment buttons with different price pointing to the same DAP product.

The price/amount set in DAP is ONLY used if you the DAP shopping cart. The price/amount set in DAP products page is NOT used if you use regular Paypal button or 1SC/CB etc.

Note: if the payment interval is also different in addition to price (say one is yearly subscriptio and the other is monthly), then you need to create 2 different products in DAP as the recurring setting will be different for each product. You can create a full clone of an existing product in DAP by selecting the product (in DAP products page) and clicking on ‘Save as copy’.

Hope that helps.

Hello Ravi & Veena,

Is it possible to have 2 prices for 1 product?

For example, if I am offering a subscription, I want to give the user to the ability to choose to pay on a monthly basis or a one-lump sum as a yearly subscription – is this possible using DAP?

I would like to have DAP allow the purchase of a specific WordPress “role”. That way – by tying capacities to that role – I could use the user’s role to provide more specific benefits than just access to content, but also tailor other features.
Your thoughts on that, please …

Adam,

It looks like you figured it out before I could answer your question .

We will put this on our TODO list to work on a more elegant solution in a future version.

Thanks!

Actually, after looking at this more closely it will actually work. Each page could be a separate product and then we select which page(s) members get. Man, this is great because the one program that turned out to be a flop only allowed total access which is what we didn’t want. Good job Ravi…it will work.

Ravi, we’re planning to have a site where it’s content based. In other words, members will have access to pages created on the site. My question is how can I give member “x” access to pages 1-3 and member “y” access just to only 4-7 and member “z” access to pages 2, 5-6? I’m thinking that I’m going to have to create several products in order to do this. I really would like to assign whatever pages I want to assign to a member based on his/her membership level. Is there a way to do this without creating a ton of products?

@Mark,

>>would this be a good way to offer protected video content?

That is correct.

An even more secure strategy is to host your videos on Amazon S3 and use http://S3MediaVault.com in combination with DAP to make your media/videos the most secure.
