Keycode products are products that deliver a product activation keycode or URL by themselves or with a download. Currently, 4% of products in DPD are keycodes. Of that 4%, we've found that a large percentage of those are used for illegal purposes, being it selling stolen software or game activation keys, links to download stolen software not hosted by our service, and more. This is against the DPD Acceptable Use Policy and we can not, as a responsible company, tolerate distribution of stolen or illeg...

In this update we've released two major feature improvements: Custom Field Improvements: External / Hidden Custom Fields and IPN / API passthrough Vendors can now create hidden "external" custom fields in DPD and pass data to these fields through their add-to-cart URLs.

Vendors can now import customers for product stores. This is handy for when you have buyers through another marketplace who you want to track and send product updates to through DPD, or buyers who purchased through another shopping cart before you made the switch to DPD. You can only create a purchase for a single item with the import customer feature, but you can create as many single item purchases as you need for any given customer if you need records for multiple item purchases. Once a buyer is imported...

This week's update deals mainly with updates and improvements to the admin interface for vendors. Admin Interface Update We add a lot of features to DPD at a rapid pace. As a result, sometimes our admin interface gets a bit cluttered, has mis-matched form styles, and other inconsistencies that drive us nuts and make it harder to use for you guys. We've converted all the forms and UI elements to use the excellent Bootstrap CSS library and Less. You'll find that all the forms, buttons, page headers, and othe...
