How to Troubleshoot PayPal IPN Issues!

by 4 Comments

Instant Payment Notification (IPN)

PayPal uses Instant Payment Notification (IPN) to notify 3rd party systems of events such as successful recurring payments, refunds, cancellations, failed payments, etc. DAP relies on IPN from PayPal to "extend" user's membership access upon a successful payment and to cut-off access upon a failed payment. 

Watch this video to see how you can troubleshoot PayPal IPN issues!

Recently one of our users contacted us because even though his recurring payment in PayPal was successful, he had lost access to product in DAP! I tried to find this user's latest payment in PayPal using his first name, but nothing showed up. I also searched by last name (and email) but couldn't find it.

Then I got the user's 'recurring profile id' from DAP and used that to find the latest payments in PayPal and I found it! 

The best way to find all 'recurring payments' connected to a user's subscription is by using the user's 'recurring profile id". This user was charged by PayPal but access didn't get extended in DAP, and as a result lost access to the product. So why did Paypal IPN didn't connect with DAP for this user? 

How do you troubleshoot IPN issues like this? 

Watch the video to find out:

  • How to find recurring Profile Id in DAP!
  • How to easily find all recurring payments connected to a subscription in Paypal.
  • How to troubleshoot IPN Issues.
  • How to find IPN History of transactions that didn't connect with your membership site.
  • how to find the IPN URL to which Paypal sent the IPN And also the status of IPN.
  • The best way to find and resolve missing recurring payment issues in your membership site.

DAP's Podcast : Episode #26!

There’s a direct relationship between the length of a time a customer invests in your business, and their value to your business. In the latest episode of "Membership Site Lab", I've shared everything you need to know about "Customer Lifetime Value" and how to calculate it for different types of products! Look for "Membership Site Lab" in your fav podcast app and subscribe! Here’s a quick recap of what I talk about in this episode:

1. What is CLV and why it's one of the most critical metrics for your online business.

2. Why it makes sense to look at the CLV for each membership level / product individually rather than the overall numbers.

3. The formula that you use to calculate CLV for your membership products! And even within membership products, the formula for monthly, annual and trial memberships needs to be calculated separately. Listen to this episode to find out why and how to calculate it.

4. The calculations for one-off and subscription products are not the same. Find out why.

5. How these numbers can help you make the right investment decisions for your business.

6. Our plans for DAP and how we plan on calculating these numbers in DAP.

7. We offer different types of licenses on our membership sites. Find out what products/licenses have the highest CLV for us and thus our focus going forward!

How to use DAP to Create, Manage & Deliver your Online Courses!

by 2 Comments

Easy & Effortless: Build your Online Courses using DAP!

The New Online Course Builder is HERE!

When I started designing the new interfaces for DAP (v7.9) about 3 months ago, I had a clear vision in terms of how I wanted the finished product to look. And today, I'm looking at the finished product and I feel proud of how far we have come in just 3 months!

My team has worked very hard to complete development and testing of this DAP release (v7.9) - way ahead of schedule! We've had plenty challenges along the way and I'm sure there's more to come, but as Marie Forleo would say, "Everything is figureoutable" :-).

Many of you volunteered to help us with beta testing. I'm truly appreciative of your help and support! 

We're now ready to release DAP v7.9! It'll be available for download in a couple of days but in the meantime, I would highly recommend that you watch the video below to get the most out of this massive DAP release!

This release has several AMAZING features! I recorded this video to showcase one of my favorite features from this release because it'll save you a ton of money, time and effort when it comes to online course creation and delivery! 

How?

DAP is primarily a membership plugin, however, you can use DAP for all types of products - free, paid, subscriptions, trainings, downloads, online courses, etc. The benefit of using DAP for your courses is that not only it will save you time, money and effort but you'll have a LOT more options when it comes to your lesson page design, templates and customizations that you won't have with other LMS!

by Leave a Comment

How to Configure DAP To Award Commissions to Affiliates ONLY on the Products they OWN!

Over the years, we've received requests from our users wanting to know if there is a way to restrict affiliate commissions (on paid products) only to users that own those products. It was not possible before but it's possible NOW!

Today I'm thrilled to announce the release of yet another amazing feature in DAP! Now you can configure DAP to allow affiliates to earn commissions only on the products they OWN! You can configure this at product level. 

If you want to allow affiliates to earn commissions even if they don't own the product, that's fine too and that's how it works by default! You can turn this feature on/off in DAP Affiliate Commissions page.

Automated Upgrades

by Leave a Comment

Automated Subscription Upgrades

DAP Can Now Automatically Cancel Subscription In Your Payment Processor When Your Users Upgrade To A Higher Level Membership!

If you sell subscription products, the good news is... now DAP can automatically cancel your member's lower level subscription from your payment processor when they upgrade to a higher-level subscription.

DAP can do this with Paypal, Stripe and Authorize.net. 

Please NOTE:  This feature will ONLY work if you use SmartPayCart.com (SPC) as your shopping cart platform!

Here are a few scenarios where this feature will make things really easy for you:

  • Sales Funnel Upsell Flow: if you offer subscription upgrade as an upsell, you can configure DAP to automatically cancel user's current subscription when they upgrade.
  • Member Upgrade: If you offer upgrades in your members area, now your users can easily upgrade without you having to manually cancel their current subscription in the payment processor. DAP will automatically cancel their subscription in the payment processor and remove their access to the lower-level subscription.

Here's how it works:

STEP 1: Set up a product chaining Rule in DAP Admin >> Products >> Product Chaining page.

The product chaining rules allow DAP to remove user's access to lower-level subscription (say silver) when they upgrade to a higher-level subscription (say gold).

STEP 2: When you setup a chaining rule (as shown in image above), it will open up a new section titled "Upgrade Options".

Set it to YES if you want to automate your subscription upgrades.

Please NOTE: This feature will ONLY work for SPC-initiated subscription purchases. Only set this to YES if you use SPC to sell your subscriptions.

STEP 3:  Test to make sure everything is working as expected!

After you setup a chaining rule for automated upgrades, it's time to test.

1. Purchase a lower level subscription- say silver level.

2. Now using the same email id, purchase a higher level subscription, say gold level.

3. Login to payment processor and see if user's silver level was automatically cancelled.

That's it!

Member Expiration Options

by 1 Comment

Make it Current

Just wanted to let you know that we have added another awesome "Member Cancellation / Expiration" feature in DAP.

In the older versions of DAP, these were the cancellation/expiration options.

  • No Action - Users will lose access to product at the end of current billing cycle.
  • Remove from Product - Users will instantly lose access to product.

Now we've added another option called "Make it Current".

  • Make it Current

Watch video to see how it works:

Make it Current:

​When a user's access expires or subscription is cancelled, DAP will not remove their access to product but users will automatically lose access at the end of the current billing cycle (similar to "no action").

However, If the same user signs up again, instead of extending access from where they left off, DAP will extend their access from the new signup date (current date). This way their access date will not be stuck in the past. Also, content dripping will continue from where they left off. They won't have to start over again.

So let's say that a user's access expired on 04/07/2019. Say the same user signs up again after 3 months on 07/07/2019.

==> If you have set the "expiration action" to "Make it current" in DAP products page >> cancellation/expiration tab, the new access end date will be 08/07/2019. It'll not be 05/07/2019.  

==> But if you set it to "no action", the new access end date will be 05/07/2019 .

Please watch the video for more details and let us know if you have any questions.

Site Security, SCA & more

by Leave a Comment

DAP v7.6 / LiveLinks v4.6 (New Features / Updates)

Action Required: Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) will take effect on September 14th!

Starting September 14th, Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) regulation will require two-factor authentication on many payments in Europe. Payments without SCA may be declined. You'll need to update your Stripe integration by  September 14th, 2019 in order to avoid an increase in declined charges.

We've already updated our cart platform - SmartPayCart.com (SPC) to deal with SCA.

Click on the button below to learn all about SCA and what you need to do to prepare for it.

What you need to do to prepare for SCA

DAP Security Scanner

We've just released DAP v7.6 / LiveLinks v4.6 (beta) and this release includes an awesome new security update!

We've added a new "Security Scanner" feature in DAP. You can run a manual scan or schedule an automated scan. The scan takes just a few seconds to complete. And it'll list any suspicious / unexpected files in your DAP folder/subfolders etc.

Please be sure to watch this video to see how you can use it to protect your site from hackers!

How the DAP Security Scan Feature Works

The Gamification Project - plugin launching soon...

The only way to not make progress is by standing still. If you focus on your big goal and get impatient because it's going to take you a long time to get there, you'll give up before you start! Same applies to your users as well. 

This is why it's so important to keep your users motivated, entertained and engaged so they don't give up. Encourage them to keep going. Incentivize them with a reward when they hit an important milestone or achieve a specific goal. It could be something as simple as an encouraging email message for e.g., "You're almost there, keep going" or a badge or award them points/credits for different activities. Remind your users that each step is progress. 

In September 2019, we'll be releasing the MOST comprehensive plugin ever created for gamifying your membership site called ".... .. ......" :-).

I think it has the greatest name a plugin ever got :-). Sorry, can't reveal the name of the plugin yet but you'll find out soon! This plugin will make you feel like a kid in a toy store. It's loaded with features designed to help you gamify your membership site. Stay tuned.

New Subscription Cancellation/Expiration Option in DAP

We have added a NEW "Membership Cancellation / Expiration" option in DAP.

In the older versions of DAP, these were the cancellation/expiration options.

  • No Action - Users will lose access to product at the end of current billing cycle.
  • Remove from Product - Users will instantly lose access to product.

Now we've added another option called "Make it Current".

  • Make it Current

Watch this video to learn all about this feature and how it works before you use it.

Make it Current

Member Export

We've updated the DAP "Member Export" feature in this latest DAP release. If you ran into export issues in the past, this new update should resolve it. We're now using a new technology for export. It's also more secure as DAP no longer saves the exported file on your server. It generates the CVS file on the fly and allows you to download it to your desktop.

Watch video to see how it works

How to create an Invoice Page for your Members

We've also updated the "member invoice" feature in this latest DAP release. 

Please watch this video to see you can create a member-facing invoice page in DAP. 

Also, if you're on DAP v7.6 and LiveLinks v4.6 (or above), be sure to visit DAP admin >> setup >> DAP Security page and delete "invoices" folder as it's not longer required. You only have to do this once.
