The most critical thing for me is to be able to match up an order ID ... I can match up 2 "add products" tracking lines to one order payment tracking line just fine as long as I have an Order ID ... For me ... the added value of having an Order ID early ... is that I can setup an affiliate program to pay different commissions on different product items. For example, if we use Geek Products as an example ... we could setup the GMart product ID to have a 75% commission, GAL to have a 50% commission, and GARS to have a 25% commission ... So if I can put the tracking code in earlier in the order process back when an item is added to a cart ... the affiliate program will be able to track individual items, calculate an individual commission by product ... and then ... when payment is received "approve" the sale ... and pay the appropriate commission ... I looked at the GMart templates ... I don't know which templates are used earlier in the process ... Does that help any? Greg |

hmmm, a bit - sorry for being do vauge - im just trying to get my head around what youre asking for.
The orderid is created when the user buys. Beofr that, there is only a cartid (which I used to use for the orderid, but thats a different story!). Anyway, im wondering if a module would work for you. Is is a visible image that has to be displayed or is there some other way to communicate to them? |

I've installed this affiliate software is about five shopping carts ... it is one of the absolute simplest integrations I've ever had to do ... The only real hard part is to figure out "where" to insert the code in the process and "what" the variables are to substitute ... Quote:
Customer adds product X to the cart cart ... an image tag is called which passes the order id, the product id, the price, and the quantity to the affiliate program ... i.e. this: Quote:
If the customer checks out through the shopping cart and pays ... then the payment thankyou screen calls an image tag which passes the order id, and the amount to the affiliate program ... i.e. this: Quote:

The problem is that you cant access them as such there, so I retweaked the code to enable you to.
I have a new update on GM where I added the ability to grab this information at process time. However there are several other additions that require more testing before I can release it - and im investigating a couple other bugs. SHould have something soon. |
