DPD

Through March 25th DPD will be completing a migration to newer, more powerful servers. This is in response to the growth of DPD and to maintain a high level of service to all vendors, affiliates, and buyers. With the exception of a 10-15 minute time period during changeover, all carts and instant checkout buttons will continue to work normally during this migration. The 10-15 minutes of downtime will be done at non-peak hours to prevent adverse loss of sales to vendors, but during this downtime period all buttons will be inactive. Vendors will still be able to log in to their accounts, however when a vendor's account is moved the following will occur: Vendors will be locked out from creating new products or uploading / updating product data files for existing products during the period of time their account is migrating. This is to prevent the possibility of new products...

We're in the middle of a pretty big overhaul of the DPD user interface right now. Because we want DPD to work for the vast majority of our users (and their customers on the cart and delivery pages) we keep a close eye on our visitor platform / browser statistics. We don't compile statistics for individual stores or sites (and don't want to)- these are aggregate numbers across every product, delivery page, cart, and the DPD site itself. I thought I'd share some basic usage statistics with everyone so they can get some insight in to their fellow vendors as well as the visitors that purchase from their sites: Platform / Operating System (top 5): There are really no surprises here. Windows 85.94% Macintosh 12.49% Linux 0.78% iPhone 0.38% iPod 0.12% Browser (top 5): The Browser stats were interesting to us with Firefox being used more than Internet Explorer among...

Its no secret- here at DPD we love being able to breathe. That's why we've partnered with CO2Stats to to offset our emissions with EPA-Certified, audited renewable energy. Digital delivery is already the most ecologically conscious delivery option on the planet- no trees get chopped down, no gasoline is burned in delivery trucks, and no fuel is consumed keeping inventory climate controlled. We've taken it one step further by offsetting our CO2 emissions with clean renewable power. CO2Stats calculates the combined electricity used by computers visiting this site, the servers providing it, and the networks that connect them. CO2Stats then helps to make this site more energy efficient (and load faster), and purchases renewable energy to neutralize the carbon emissions due to generation of that electricity. CO2 Stats calculates the CO2 footprint of the DPD servers, vendors using the service- even the buyers who purchase products! We then offset these...
