A Plone add-on that integrates JVZoo digital products retailer system with Plone to enable paid memberships on your site.
- Visitor comes to
yoursite.com/order
(or similar) and clicks Order link. - Visitor is sent to JVZoo's order form (on
http://jvzoo.com
), where he enters his personal information and performs payment. - JVZoo calls-back a special view on your plone site (
/@@jvzoo
), which reads POST data from JVZoo, verifies it against yourSecret Key
and creates a new member. The following information is stored in member data for later use:
product_id
JVZoo's Product ID of the purchased item.
product_name
JVZoo's Product Name of the purchased item.
affiliate
Affiliate who referred the buyer.
last_purchase_id
JVZoo's Receipt ID of the last purchase. This field gets updated on every recurring payment.
last_purchase_timestamp
Exact timestamp of the last purchase. This field gets updated on every recurring payment.
- Upon creating a new member, Plone sends an email with login password.
- An
IMemberCreateEvent
is emitted upon creating a new member. - The new member can now login and use the site.
- It is possible to create a
product_id
togroup_name
mapping in Plone Control Panel. This means that if a member purchased a product which is listed in this mapping, the member will also be added to a group mapped to this product.
Note
If a member already exists in Plone, then the @@jvzoo
view simply updates last_purchase_id
and last_purchase_timestamp
member fields. The member will also be added to the new product group, but also kept in the old.
You can see this product in action at BigContentSearch.
To install niteoweb.jvzoo
you simply add niteoweb.jvzoo
to the list of eggs in your buildout, run buildout and restart Plone. Then, install niteoweb.jvzoo using the Add-ons control panel.
Go to JVZoo.com and use Sellers
-> Add a Product
to add a new Product.
Then check the option External Program Integration
. For URL set http://yoursite.com/@@jvzoo
. Under the My Account
page set the JVZIPN Secret Key
.
Go to Site Setup
-> jvzoo
control panel form and configure the Secret Key
field by pasting in the Secret Key you defined above.
You can also configure the product_id
to group_name
mapping. This comes in effect when member purchases a product which is listed in this mapping, the member will also be added to a group mapped to this product.
For example, imagine you have the following in your mapping:
1|basic-members
2|premium-members
Members purchasing the product with id 1
will be added to the basic-members
group, whose purchasing 2
will be added to the premium-members
group. For others, nothing will be done.
When switching products, an updated member will be added to new product group, but also kept in the old group. No information is removed/deleted.
You are now ready to do a test buy! Go back to Sellers
and click Test Purchases
. Select a product, click Create Test Purchase Code
and finish by clicking the link in Buy / Link
column in the table below. In order for the purchase link to work, the product needs to be activated in Sellers Dashboard
(select a product and check Allow Sales
).
Before you finish the transaction, you of course need to set up your Plone site to receive JVZoo server notifications.
Confirm by logging-in to http://jvzoo.com and checking to see if there were any purchases (on Sellers
tab). Also check if your received an email with username and password for accessing your site and try to login with them.
- If members stop paying for monthly or yearly subscriptions, you have to manually delete them from your Plone site.
- The same as above goes for any chargebacks or refunds. You have to manage them manually.
