Before your initial kick off call, feel free to sign in and familiarize yourself. This article will explain where to start while configuring your new Konnektive instance.
The best place to start is the Admin section, however, this can be skipped and returned to if you don’t have all the information needed to add the plugins. The sections below highlight the areas that will need to be configured before going live.
The Admin section is where you will create new users and plug in to utilize with your Konnektive account. This section is found at the bottom of the navigation menu on the left side of the CRM.
Commonly added plug ins: - Automatically send your fulfillments to one of our integrated fulfillment softwares. - Screen for fraud prior to approving a transaction. - Shift chargeback liability on supported gateways. - Automatically send partial or sales to one of our integrated ESP plugins. - This is used to email your customers their order confirmation and fulfillment updates. - Updates card information to keep subscription customers active for longer. - Used to fight chargebacks and issue refunds prior to a CB occurring.
The next best place to go is the . Under the Gateway List you will first want to create merchant categories that match each of the corporations that you have mids acquired under. This is a critical step to ensure you are remaining compliant with Visa and MasterCard regulations. Once you have the categories added, you can then add in your mids and set them to their appropriate category. If you don’t have any mids yet, you can create a mid using the DUMMY GATEWAY option. ** Having a mid created will be necessary to save an offer in your campaign. The Dummy Gateway is ONLY for testing. Any live sales ran to this gateway will not process BUT the fulfillment WILL still send out. BE CAUTIOUS**
Once you have your mid(s) saved you’ll want to go to the to add your products. The will first have you create a category to begin organizing your products (Diet, Muscle, Skin, etc). Clicking the green plus button will allow you to start creating. Once you have a product created, you can then start creating your campaign. (You can set a fulfillment house to all your products at once at a later date using the “Assign to All Products” button located in the fulfillment house plugin)
Next, go to the to create a campaign (you can also create categories here to filter by on your reports). The campaign is where you will add in your products as offers and upsells, which determines the price the customer will pay, and when. There are a lot of other settings within the campaign that you can do use to fit your needs. There are 3 types of campaigns to choose from:
Phone campaigns are used for inbound and outbound calls to/from your call center and can be listed under the Order Entry page to manually place orders. We also suggest having a phone campaign dedicated to testing new mids and fulfillment houses. This way you can set the offers to $1 so you aren’t charging yourself full price just to test.
Lander campaigns are where a site may have several options to choose from, typically a single bottle offer along with a three bottle and/or five bottle bundle, but the customer can only choose one of those offers before proceeding to checkout, and then your upsell funnel.
Ecommerce campaigns are more of a shopping cart style. Your offers will all be listed and the customer can choose as many items as they want before proceeding to the checkout page, and then your upsells.
When configuring the API to connect your landing page to a campaign, you will need to pass in the campaignId and the productId listed within the campaign. (See API Docs)
