Adding the DNA Connector for SendOwl

For each of the DNA Products that will be receiving orders from SendOwl, you will need to:

  • Create a DNA Connector
  • Add SendOwl Product ID(s) to the DNA Connector

To create the DNA Connector for a given DNA Product:

  1. From the DNA Control Panel, select the specific product and scroll down to the eCommerce Connection section

    Add DNA Connector
  2. If this is the first time you are setting up for integration with SendOwl, click on + Add an eCommerce Connector and choose the eCommerce System SendOwl from the scroll down menu.
    If the SendOwl integration is already set-up, click on SendOwl to go to the SendOwl Configuration screen.

  3. In the Connector Configuration screen, configure the following options:

    Send Owl DNASecret Enter the DNA Secret that you specified as part of the URL in the SendOwl Product configuration - this must match exactly to authenticate the transactions.
    Confirmation Email If you would like to be notified of each SendOwl transaction processed by software_DNA, select the Receive Transaction Confirmation Email option. software_DNA will send an email to the Product_Contact person for this product with key information taken from the transaction.
    License Fulfillment Choose from two License activation code options:
    Immediate - "Just in Time" The DNA Server will create a new License Activation Code for this Product, reserve it and return it to SendOwl. The License Code will be generated using the Code Length and Code Type specified in the Product configuration.
    Reserve You will UPLOAD or GENERATE codes. The DNA Server will reserve the next available License Activation Code for this Product and return it to SendOwl. You will need to request this option by sending an email to support@softworkz.com.
    Create DNA Connector
  4. Click on Create Connector (or Update Connector if you are modifying an existing configuration) to save the Connector configuration.

    Once created, the Add Product ID button will appear, and you will need to configure each SendOwl Product ID associated with this DNA Product as shown in the next section.

 

Adding SendOwl Product ID’s to the DNA Connector

For each SendOwl Product ID that will use this DNA Product, you will add a Product ID Configuration as follows:

  1. From the SendOwl Connector Configuration screen, click on ADD Product ID, or click on an existing Product ID, to bring up the SKU Configuration screen:

    Add SKU
  2. Enter the Product ID of the SendOwl product. This is different then the software_DNA Product SKU.

  3. You would use different Product ID’s if you offer different versions of your Product or for different multi-user seat settings.

    Up to 25 Product ID’s can be configured per DNA Connector

  4. If you have defined multi-user licenses in your Product Configuration, select the <License Seats> that will be used when generating or upgrading a License Activation Code for this SKU.

  5. If you use Feature-based licensing, enter the default <license_data> that will be used when generating or upgrading an Activation Code for this SKU (this field will not appear if you have not enabled this option).

  6. If required, you can specify Override settings for this specific SendOwl Product ID. Override settings will be used instead of the Default DNA Product configuration settings when generating the License Code for this transaction:

    • Check the Override Checkbox for the override setting to be used
    • The Prefix will override the <Prefix> setting of the DNA Product
    • The Expiration Period will override the setting of the DNA Product
    • The Language will override the setting of the DNA Product
  7. Click on SAVE to save this SKU configuration

The UserPurchaseDate, License Activation Code, Buyer Email and the SendOwl TransactionID are stored and available for viewing in the Product Configuration screen or the Code View screen or for download from the DNA Control Panel under the menu Reports.

You can retrieve the complete transaction information directly from your SendOwl account at any time. Please consult the SendOwl web site for these options.
