As soon as you add a new product on the Automation Station, you'll see a screen that allows you either to enter the digital delivery details of your product or to get the HTML code to paste on your website. The box looks just like this one:
We'll get the html code later. For now, click the "Digital Delivery" link and you'll be taken to a second screen that looks like this one:
You have two different options to deliver the product: Digital & Membership. Let's go over the explanation and details of how each of these options work:
Digital Delivery.
Selecting "digital delivery" from the drop-down box allows you to instantly give your customer access to the product with a 'download link.' If you select this option and click the "Go!" button, you'll be taken to a screen that looks like this one:
You'll see three fields with the details of the digital delivery:
1) Download instructions: Thank your customer for his purchase and provide him with any special instructions you may have for him respecting the purchase -- like giving him a password to unlock the e-book he just bought from you.
2) Download URL: Type the complete URL of the digital product. It is highly recommended that you do not place the product on your main web folder or on any folder that's easy to guess like 'downloads' or 'thank_you.' The download URL will be cloaked by the system and the link will expire after 24 hours.
3) Link text.- Your customer will not see the download URL, instead he will see a text as a linke text that he can click to perform the download. Enter any message you want on this field (something descriptive like 'Click here' is recommended).
4) Add.- Click this link to store the digital delivery options you entered above.
Membership.
Selecting the "Membership" option allows you to provide the customer with a form instead of a download link. This is used when you're selling access to a private section of your website and you let the customer create his account (by filling in a form) after he has paid for his access. Please note that this feature is only valid for one-time billing memberships. This system has not been designed for recurring billing websites that charge a membership fee every month.
If you select "Membership" and click the "Go!" button, you'll be taken to a new screen with a box similar to this one:
1) Hidden fields parsed to a form: When you place a form on your product's "Thank You" page, you can pass variables directly into it without making your customer enter them again. Simply include the hidden form field tags from this section to have the system automatically post that data to your form script.
2) Form HTML: Enter the HTML of the form that should be displayed on your "Thank you" page. Including any hidden fields you want parsed from box #1.
3) Add: Click this button to save the membership delivery details you entered.
Custom URL.
Selecting the "Custom URL" allows you to send the customer to any page you want after the sale is made. This is a great option if you have created your own "custom" download page and want to use it to deliver your products.
If you select the "Custom URL" option and click the "Go" button, you'll be taken to a new screen with a box similar to this one:
1) Custom URL: Enter the entire URL where you want the customer to be sent after the sale has been made. Start with "http://".
2) Add: Click this button to add the new delivery method.
