Referral Code Capability for Affiliates

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   As far as I know it is only from webpage  or email links.  I like the idea of having the possibility to enter a code at checkout just like you enter your coupon.  The affiliate id would work well in this scenario.  This helps for those affiliates that for example have a printed newsletter or radio show.  They can simply give the stores URL and their code, instead of a long URL.  It would also be nice to give special benefits to those following this entry, like free shipping or x% off.  It would be like a special coupon that applies to one affiliate.

	Hi there, thanks for your quick response. I have poked around in the Admin tools and the documentation and, unless I missed something, I am under the impression that the affiliate feature only tracks referrals from Web links. Did I miss something? Also, do you know when Ver. 3.5 is due out? Thanks again.

	A - Have you examined the current "affiliate tracking" feature? If so, poke around the admin tools and the documentation. B - An upgrade of this feature is being introduced in V3.5

	This is my first post in the ProductCart forum, so excuse me if something is out of wack. I am looking for a solution that would allow entry of a referral code during check out that would recognize an affiliate and track their commission just like it would if the referral came through a rerral link. Anybody have any ideas or what that feature might cost to develop? Thanks!
