new features

We know we've been a little quiet lately on the update front, but thats because we've been working on big things! We've released a major upgrade for Stripe for product stores that adds Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link, and more to the DPD checkout. We've also added enhanced order and account management features in the DPD admin. A Refined (more) Mobile Friendly Payment Flow All modern themes for the DPD checkout have always been built for mobile, but we've made it even better! In addition to fixing some spacing and minor style inconsistency issues on mobile checkout, gone is the old payment method selection for PayPal + Card methods. Now we display a mobile friendly PayPal button for PayPal Standard / Express above the card form. This works great when paired with the next new feature.... Upgraded Stripe supports Apple Pay and Google Pay! Once you've upgraded stripe your DPD...

In today's update we've added the ability for vendors to create sub-user accounts for employees or assistants to help manage your products and/or customer service functions. Currently sub-users are supported for product stores only. Vendors create sub-users from their profile menu: Sub-Users have two available permissions: Customer Service: Includes access to Customers, Orders, and Coupons modules. Product Management: Includes access to the Product modules and can edit all aspects of products (or delete them). Can also send product updates, add product keys, replace uploaded files, etc. Sub-users can have one of the above permissions or both. Sub-users will never have access to your store settings, payment processors, integration setup, account billing information, etc. Managing Sub-Users: Vendors can activate or deactivate sub-users, edit sub-user account information (email, password), and change permissions at any time. Sub-users will see a different dashboard view based on their permissions. We encourage any vendor looking to add sub-users...

Happy new year! We have just released a few upgrades to DPD. URLs can now be delivered via the key delivery product type. No configuration is needed on your part. Simply enter a key that starts with "http://" or "https://" and we will link to that URL on the delivery page. We have added an option to override PayPal shipping settings and always ship a product for free. Bug fixes: Fixed a problem with delivered filename getting corrupted when using filenames with special characters. Fixed a problem with the FTP drop box not working when the filename has a "#" character in it. Fixed a problem activating ClickBank combo products when delivered through the thankyou page.

It's been a long week at DPD HQ and we're happy to announce our intrepid developers got out of bed at 6AM to publish a special TGIF update that brings a number of new features that vendors have been asking for: Tangible Goods DPD now supports the sale of simple tangible goods along side your downloadable products. Tangible goods are anything that needs to be delivered. So you're no longer limited to digital files and product codes with DPD. Sell physical copies of your products like CDs or DVDs. Sell company memorabilia like coffee mugs, yoga mats, bobble heads, t-shirts or stationary. Sell lawn furniture, or your custom replicas of Yoda's gimmer stick.* If you have something to sell, DPD can help you sell it. Our focus will always be on digital product delivery (It is our name after all), but we wanted to accommodate those vendors who might want...

This morning we published an update that introduced an all new vendor control panel. This fluid, full width admin interface makes better use of widescreen monitors and higher resolution displays- something our server usage stats tell us that most vendors are moving toward. We've also made a couple usability improvements that we hope will make things easier to understand for everyone that uses DPD to sell downloads. New Vendor Control Panel The new vendor control panel is based on the 960gs system and is a fluid, full width template that uses 100% of your monitor instead of the bit in the middle. This gives us the ability to pack more information on a screen, reduces scrolling, and gives us lots of places to stick new features :) Of note in the new admin interface is the side navigation- we've moved all commonly used vendor functions to the left sidebar for...

We've been working with MailChimp to get our services hooked up and I'm pleased to announce that DPD integration with MailChimp is now live! Now you can pass customer data from any website profile directly to MailChimp automatically. DPD supports Name, Email, and Address data to be passed and automatically included in your lists (if your list has address fields). We use MailChimp here at DPD for our infrequent customer newsletters and we think they're the best around. Their service is outstanding, their support people are great, and from our integration experience with them I can tell you first hand that it's run by a great group of people. MailChimp offers THE best list management tool on the planet. They support autoresponders and signup forms and have an active user and developer community to help you get going. We really can't say enough good things about MailChimp here at DPD-...

Key Code delivery DPD now supports delivering key codes (serial keys, product activation keys). We support three generation methods: Bulk upload Upload your codes into DPD and we will deliver them. Single key Use one code for all deliveries. URL Setup a URL on your server and DPD will request a new code for every sale.

This morning we published a minor update to DPD that added a few new features and tweaked a couple of improvements made in the last update. New features and tweaks included in this update: DPD now displays product images on an improved delivery page designed to give your customers more info about what they're downloading. If there is no product image uploaded, DPD will display a file type icon to give buyers a better understanding of what they're downloading. Here is an example from the DPD Demo Store: If you've uploaded a product image it is now displayed in the DPD product list. We've digitally signed the DPD product uploader for enhanced security. We corrected the button image alt text on free buttons. Revamped sales site to include new features in last update. Automatic subscription emails for failed payments, cancellations, and credit cards that are expiring soon. Fixed problem with...

DPD always strives to make things easier. One of the things that's always bugged us has been that there were two product lists- one for instant and one for cart. That's not easy. It's kinda confusing. It makes features like custom emails and delivery pages nearly impossible. So in this update we set out to fix that and ended up making the largest change in DPD history. This update is five months in the making, with over 125 new features, bug fixes, and tweaks, and over 335,000 new lines of code! So, starting early Wednesday, May 12, you will see a few changes at DPD when you login. We'll start with the major changes. New Product / Website User Interface The product list has been completely overhauled. Gone are the days of two product lists. Everything is now on one page. We've added filters to help you find the product...
