need to ask your customer for their
details anymore). More information about
these features below.
Shopping
Cart Updates:
Cart
code has been heavily rewritten to dramatically
speed up cart browsing for people with
huge product lists
The
shopping cart now displays 15 items
per page (if you have more than 15 items,
it will be split onto a second page).
A drop-down box is displayed on your
cart page so your customers can jump
to a certain page
Cart
categories are now listed in alphabetical
order in the shopping cart's side menu
Cart
now works with Paypal's Auto Return
turned On
Cart
purchase price is now available on the
cart download page as %%productprice%%
. This can be used for display purposes,

Memberships
Updates:
ClickBank
recurring billing integration for DLGuard's
Memberships
LinkPoint
payment processor added for DLGuard's
Memberships
PayPal
recurring sales can now be limited to
a certain number of billings. So, for
example, you can bill your customer
three times and then stop. This can
also be used for demos - a customer
signup's up for a free trial at the
end of which they're automatically billed
by Paypal.
Single
purchase memberships can be limited
to a certain access period. So for example
you can link your membership group to
a single item sale product, but then
restrict the access to six months. This
will allow you to sell different levels
of memberships such as six months access
for $10 or twelve months access for
$15. This can also be used to give a
trial period - someone buys a 3 month
membership, then at the end of it they
can choose to move to a recurring billing
membership. At the end of the set period,
access is blocked.
Paypal's
IPN can now be replicated and re posted
to your own URL. This can be used for
any script that needs access to Paypal's
IPN for recurring payments, such as
affiliate scripts. The Repost URL will
receive the exact Paypal IPN data that
it normally would if it was set up as
Paypal's IPN URL.
Single
Item Sales Updates:
LinkPoint
payment processor added for DLGuard's
Single Item Sales
Clickbank
sales can now be directed straight to
the download page without having to
ask your customer for their name and
email address.

Shopping Cart now supported in Paypal
items. This means you can set up your
own shopping cart on your website using
Paypal's cart feature. The cart code
is available from a Paypal's Get Code
link in DLGuard.

listed on Single Item Summary screen
can now be split into multiple pages
for those people with large product
lists.

too small to list on their own.
