Sales Overview filters
We have added a new and convenient way to apply filters to data in Sales Overview. You can apply Website, Currency and Payment method filters easily by using the tool on the top of the page.
Website affiliates
The affiliates management has been moved to the Website details page.
The new Affiliates section shows the current “Default affiliate commission” value, the number of banners your website has, the number of affiliates reselling the website and gives you access to manage your affiliates setup.
Authorized Agents – user roles in Control Center
Verotel customers often have different staff members performing different tasks in their Control Center: e.g. one person is managing website setup, another is looking after the sales. Also, often there are freelancers who work on various Verotel order page or FlexPay integrations for various Verotel customers.
With the introduction of Authorized Agents and roles
it is now possible to provide these users with their own credentials and restrict their access only to those areas of the system they need them to have access to.
Setup landing page after successful sale
It is now possible to configure the URL on the page which is displayed after a successful sale and to which the “Visit website” button leads to.
The URL can be configured in “Setup landing page after successful sale and for cancelled members” section of Membership website detail page. If not set the default, website URL, is used.
Reseller_id in redirect from affiliate banner or link
We have released a small but useful tweak to the affiliate functionality.
When a potential buyer clicks on a banner or a link on reseller’s website and gets redirected to the nominated website page we now also pass on the “reseller_id” parameter so it is easier for the merchants to distinguish the resellers from whom the buyers are coming from.
Example:
http://links.verotel.com/cgi-bin/showsite.verotel?vercode=9804000000000100:9804000000924398&websitenr=60678
results in a redirect to
http://www.verotel.com/?reseller_id=9804000000924398
Sales Overview Date Range
The Sales Overview report has now an option to select custom date periods for which to show the data. In the date range selection dialog you can select preconfigured date periods or a completely custom date range.
Tip: Lost credentials recovery
Did you know there is a lost credentials recovery page ?
You can show this link on your website so your buyers can easily recover their lost or forgotten credentials: https://secure.verotel.com/v3/en/lostusercodeorpasscode
ATVOD Compliancy
UK-registered merchants please note:
ATVOD authority requires the providers of video on demand to follow their regulations “to ensure that under 18’s cannot normally access hardcore pornographic content“.
In order to help our merchants to comply with the regulations, we have implemented a new functionality which allows UK-registered merchants to choose whether or not they will accept UK debit cards. (UK debit cards can be possessed by under 18’s.).
The new setting is available under the Orderpage options section in the Website detail page.
By default the option “Accept debit cards in United Kingdom” is selected. Uncheck the setting in order to prevent sales using UK debit cards in order to comply with ATVOD.
Changing Usercodes
Another frequently requested feature is the ability to change the usercodes of your members. We are happy to let you know that this functionality was just released.
The usercode can now be updated in the “Sale detail”:
- The usercode must be between 5-12 characters long and can contain only alphanumeric characters.
- For backward compatibility, two RUM postbacks are sent:
- “Add” – To create a new user with the updated usercode (and identical passcode)
- “Delete” – After the new user is successfully created, the old one is removed
- The member is then notified by email about the credentials update.
- Please note that members are now also notified when their passcodes are changed.
