The Boffin provides a few features that may be useful for aspiring online entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n\n
Firstly, it integrates with the WooCommerce<\/a> and \nRestrict User Access<\/a> plugins. The latter \nallows you to restrict access to content on your site to specific users.<\/p>\n\n Normally with RUA, you have to manually add users to allow them to access restricted content.\nIf you're selling material, such as a course, adding users manually may be inconvenient for you\nand also frustrating for customers who are used to instant access when purchasing online products.<\/p>\n\n The Boffin allows you to assign a restriction level to a product. When an order is marked as completed,\nthe customer is automatically granted access to all restriction levels applied to items in the order.\nDo ensure you deactivate the Enable guest checkout<\/strong> checkbox on the WooCommerce Checkout settings screen.<\/p>\n\n Normally, except for virtual and downloadable products, you have to manually mark orders as completed.\nThe Boffin includes an optin to have virtual products set to completed when payment is completed. You\nshould activate this in order for customers to get access to purchased content after they complete\npayment.<\/p>\n\n A new sub-screen is added to the My Account screens of WooCommerce customers that link to restricted\nitems that they have purchased.<\/p>\n\n In the event that an order is fully refunded, any access levels granted by that purchase are automatically \nrevoked. Bear in mind that partial refunds will not affect any access levels granted by the order. Even if you\nrefund all but one cent, you will need to manually revoke any access levels.<\/p>\n\n Secondly, The Boffin makes it easy to connect your WordPress with an install of Mautic. Mautic is open source\nmarketing automation software that, like WordPress, you can download and use for free. You can learn more about\nit at Shoestring Hustle<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n Once the base URL of your Mautic is saved, The Boffin can be used to automatically add the Mautic tracking script\nto every page of your site.<\/p>\n\n Obviously tracking the pages your contacts view is useful, but you can also configure The Boffin to tag contacts\nin Mautic with the SKU value of products that they purchase from your WooCommerce store. This allows you to run\nfollow up campaigns to your contacts based on the products they purchase. This requires you to activate the API\nin your Mautic and connect your WordPress.<\/p>\n\n Mautic also offers a range of features that can be used on your site and these can be easily added using shortcodes.<\/p>\n\n Only the tagging features require API access, the other shortcodes can be used as soon as the URL is saved and tracking\nis activated.<\/p>\n\n Mautic is open source marketing automation software. It can be used to sendemail newsletters and to build complex, automated\nemail campaigns. You can read more about Mautic on Shoestring Hustle<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n If you download the app from Mautic.org<\/a> and host it yourself, hosting is the only cost you will have.\nThe software is completely free. When starting out, you could probably host both WordPress and Mautic on a single 1GB VPS.<\/p>\n\n\n
