Multiple Item Sales - built-in shopping cart

DLGuard has it's own built in shopping cart!

No need to worry about trying to integrate your payment system with your shopping cart, and then with your download management solution. DLGuard does it all for you!

DLGuard's shopping cart system allows you to quickly add and remove products from your site, edit descriptions, set prices, and then integrate into PayPal or 2Checkout for maximum flexibility.

Your customers will be able to select which items they'd like to purchase, and then make one single payment. They will then be transferred to a secure download area where they will see all the products they purchased on the one page.

The shopping cart and the download page can be fully customised. DLGuard uses a template system for ease of modification, and to make sure the system blends into your existing webpage design.

Membership Websites

Membership sites are a very lucrative form of recurring income for many website owners. DLGuard takes the pain out of setting up a membership site.

Membership sites can be either paid memberships, with recurring billing by PayPal, or they can be linked to a single item sale.

 

Paid (Recurring) Memberships:
DLGuard makes it quick and easy to set up PayPal memberships payments. No need to create button code, DLGuard will do all that for you.

DLGuard will also detect when a person cancels their subscription, and will automatically block access to your membership website.

Single Sale Memberships:
DLGuard allows you to create a members area for people who buy your single sale products. Offer your customers a secure area to download updates, run polls, keep up to date with news and new offers, and more.

 

With both types of memberships, DLGuard allows you to display secure download links to your customers, as well as limit the number of times they try and download products within your member area.

The membership site is completely flexible. You simply add a small snippet of PHP code to your existing webpages, and they become automatically protected.

Membership areas help to built customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. DLGuard makes it easy to create a membership site.

Unique Download Links and Page Security

DLGuard protects your products from the most common forms of theft:
 

Download link sharing:
We've had people come to us for a solution because their download link or download page URL has been posted on a forum and they've just lost hundreds of dollars in lost sales.

DLGuard prevents this.

Each download link can have a expiring time limit as well as a maximum number of download attempts.

This means that you can give your customer, for example, 2 hours to download your product with a maximum of 3 download attempts. Even if your customer posted their own real download link on a public forum, the link would become useless before real damage is done.

If your real customer doesn't have time to download their product within this time frame then you can easily reset their timer or download count.

You can make your security as tight or as loose as you see fit for your customers.

 

Insecure thankyou / download pages:

Is your download page listed in Google? What about your ebook?

A common form of "hacking" is by simply searching for insecure download pages via popular search engines. The term hacking is used loosely, as there is no skill in searching for insecure download pages, but the effect can still be devastating.

You could loose thousands of dollars.

Google incorporates PDF files into it's search results. If your download page or ebook is not secure, then people could be actually READING your ebook without even realising they're stealing your product.

With DLGuard, even if the whole world knows the URL of your thankyou page, they won't be able to download your products.

DLGuard checks to make sure a successful payment has been made before allowing access to the download area.

To prove this, we posted a direct link to our real download page on a very popular internet marketing website, and told people they could have DLGuard for free if they could bypass the security. Here's a response we received:

We stand by our product.

Customer Tracking and Reporting

Who has downloaded your product? And how many times have they downloaded it?

DLGuard will track each of your customers download attempts.

Simply search for your customers name, email address or receipt number and DLGuard will show you how many times that customer has attempted to download your products and bonus products.

Overall reports can be produced as a total, or per month.

Automatic Autoresponder Sign-up

Marketing tests and successful business owners tell us time and again that to maximise profits you need to create a loyal customer list.

This can be difficult or uneconomical by using customer signup forms as a large percentage of your customers won't signup. First you need to convince them to buy your product, and then you need to convince them to signup to your mailing list?

DLGuard fixes this problem by automatically adding your customers to your mailing list after a sale is made.

No more manual submissions, no more annoying your customers by asking them to jump through hoops. Just easy, instant, and invisible autoresponder signup.

Promotional Coupons

DLGuard allows you to setup promotional coupons. The coupons can be set for each product, and you may have as many coupons as you wish. The coupons give you the ability to change the price for a current product, or even offer a "secret" product for those people who have your coupon code.

The use of coupons is a proven marketing tactic that can help increase your sales.

Calculate Sales Conversion Rates

By simply using DLGuard's image buttons for your sales link, DLGuard will automatically count the number of raw and unique hits you get to your sales page and then by comparing them to the number of sales you made DLGuard will report your sales conversion rates for each of your products.

Sales conversion rates are very important when examining the effectiveness of sales pages and marketing promotions.

As well as a tabled overview, you can view a single product in detail showing it's rates in easy to read graphs.

Customising the Look and Feel of DLGuard

It's important to have your customers go through an easy to use and seamless sales process.

DLGuard allows you to fully customise the look of your download areas, shopping cart, and membership areas.

By using real templates (not just restrictive header and footer options), DLGuard allows you to create a seamless sales process and offer your customers a flexible and highly professional download process.

You may create as many download page templates for your single sale items as you wish.

Sales information is available on the thankyou page by use of easy keywords. You can display the customer name, email address, date of purchase, the product they purchased, their receipt number, and more.

DLGuard comes with a number of templates for you to use and modify.

Using Your Own Custom Script With DLGuard

DLGuard offers excellent flexibility for customers who have specific requirements by offering the ability to use your own custom script with DLGuard.

You simply specify the location of your script when you setup your product in DLGuard, and then at the time of sale, DLGuard will post your customers sales data to your script, including their contact details, product they've bought, receipt number, IP address, and a secret key that can be used to ensure script security.

This means that you can easily integrate your own script with DLGuard.

Examples of custom scripts can be anything from simply emailing you when a sale is made, right through to interacting with your corporate database.

The possibilities are as flexible as you need.
