Has anyone integrated jrox affiliate system with zencart?

[Lagrimas]

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had successfully integrated jrox's affiliate program with zencart.

If you did, does it work well? does jrox automatically enter in all your zencart products into your system or do you have to enter each one into jrox automatically?

how did you integrate jrox into zencart?

thanks in advance.

jroz integration is only that it tracks sales by affiliate,
you will need to decide if you will have the entire site or just individual products for affiliates,

if you choose individual products you will have to add them,

Hello,

JAM integrates easily with zencart. There is no need to import any products from zencart into JAM at all. JAM works by integrating into the backend payment processing of zencart and calculating commissions based on the zen cart payment subtotal.

You can integrate JAM using a custom override footer (v. 1.3+) or you can edit some of the zencart files to integrate JAM right into it.

Hope this helps.

ah, so it works off the subtotal. then does that mean there is no way to differentiate commission percentages based off of the different types of products? or is that a case where i have to enter in all the products to get that kind of differentiation?

You can create different product groups to assign different commissions to it, but it will only work if your customer clicks on the affiliate link assigned to that product.

You won't be able to customize each product in zencart to have a custom commission in JAM using only one affiliate link.

right. this is good info. so is it possible to set up different product categories in order to get different commissions to it and also have a default commission so if someone is referred to the site rather than a specific product, the affiliate will just get a default percentage/rate?

also, how are orders determined to be from which affiliate? is there a cookie process involved? if so, how long does the cookie last?

[jroxonline]

Yes, you can setup a default commission percentage, then have specific commissions to different products using different links.

the cookie time length is set by you and that is used to determine which affiliate referred the customer to you.

Please elaborate how this is achieved.. TIA

When a customer clicks on an affiliate link, a cookie is set in their browser that will help associate that customer to the affiliate.

In JAM you can specify how long this cookie will last before it expires. For example, you can set it to last 1 day, 1 month, or 1 year.


For as long as that cookie is available on the customer's PC and hasn't expired, whenever that customer buys something from your store, the affiliate that referred that customer will get the credited commission.
