by hjalte81

Hi everyone... (hi dr. nick )

So, I thought it could be cool to get the 7 dollar script and wordpress working together.. I'm no .php expert, but I took a look at the files and gave up, hehe..

Does anyone had any luck by combining this script with wordpress?
Or maybe another cool idea on how to make this work

For those of you who doesnt know what the 7 dollar script is, here is a very short explanation:

It basically is a script that handle affiliates.
You affiliates use a special link (something like: youwebsite.com?paypal@email.com) and then the payment from the vendors product, gets into THEIR paypal account...

    How are you planning to combine them? Is there a specific way you want this to work on your Wordpress site?

      Yes...

      What I want is to allow my affiliates to use THEIR paypal email, to get payment for my product, trough my site...

      So for example;

      A person buys my ebook, and decides he wants to promote it. All he have to do, is to use a link like this: mywebsite.com?his@paypal.com

      Now, what should happen next is that when someone uses his link and gp to paypal and buy, then the amount should go into HIS paypal account (all 100%).

      I'll give OTO and capture email adress, while he'll keep the profit.

      Hope that made sense...

    Just to clarify...

    Isn't that how the $7 dollar script works? I'm not sure if you need to do anything special to make it work with Wordpress. Just make sure you link it when you create a salespage via Wordpress. I'm assuming you will use Wordpress for your sales pages.

    Is the script already installed on your server?

      Okay.. so I took another look at the script...
      I think it could work with wordpress, but it would take some heavy editing of the php files.

      Since the index.php refers to the files in the templates folder, then you would have to edit the file locations inside index.php to the wordpress pages...

      I'll try to play around some more, but if you (or anyone else) have some suggestions, please let me know

        Modify salesletter.html by adding
        PHP Code:
        <?php
        /*
        Template Name: Salesletter

        */
        ?>
        to the top of the file.

        Save it as salesletter.php and upload that file to your
        public_html/wp-content/active theme directory

        goto wp-admin ->pages-> add new

        In the box AddNewPage put the title you want for the page

        Look in the right sidebar of your admin page for a selection box for template and you should be able to select "Salesletter" as the template.

        Publish the page.

        You will have to relocate the script index.php or possibly renaming it will work.

        If it works: Buy me a beer

          Interesting... I've playing around with redirects.

          Added a simple meta redirect to the the salespage.html and the others...
          And then just used the special paypal link on the order button. It seems to work.

          However, I found that there's a lot of problems using the 7 dollar script... for example, not all will accept payments, when it comes trough the script...

          Will look at your site, thanks for the reply

    Hi

    I had the same problem with my WordPress site but found a very simple solution.

    Go into your WordPress .htaccess and add:

    ErrorDocument 401 default

    at the top of the page.

    Everything should work fine now. I've installed it at:
    Website Secrets | Is Your Website Leaking Profits?

    and set it up with a free report at the front so you can test it if you like! The rest of my site is based on WordPress with WordPress installed at the root.

    If you've got any other problems with it, feel free to pm me and good luck.

      What exactly does this do?
      Does it help with the paypal issue?

      Thanks...

    The solution I pasted earlier will overcome the WordPress problem of returning a 404 error instead of going to your $7 script folder.

    As for the PayPal issue, so long as you are using /?e=Paypal@email.com there shouldn't be a problem unless you've set the script to only accept affiliates that have bought the product (default setting), although there is an overwrite solution for this in settings.php.

    I'm not sure that I've answered your question, so let me know if I've not and I'll try and be clearer as the $7 script works fine on a few of my sites.

      Okay, i understand... Thanks.

      I have no problem getting the 7 dollar script to redirect to paypal, but the problem is that, when I use the script, I can't pay with creditcard... Only paypal... Is this normal?

          When I create a paypal button, I can recieve payments from creditcards...
          But when using the script, only members with an paypal account can order the product.

          Where should I change funding options, on paypal?

    The reason I think the script is set up so it will only accept paypal payments is because once a buyer buys your report, they can then resell it using their paypal email and the way the script can tell who is a legitimate buyer/seller is through their paypal email address as I'm sure the whole idea of the script is to encourage others to sell your product for you to help you build your list.

    I'm sure you probably could edit the code but then it might affect the rest of the script for those promoting your product.
