Ok let me clarify,
I didnt mean for anyone to thinkl that zen devs were working on one or not, I have no idea if they are.

I am working with the developer for an affiliate module that will link to zen just like IDEV.

and actually looks pretty robust.
Give me until Monday evening and I should have some good answers for you

Long time no see.
I've been away for quite some time and was checking on this very issue.

IDev uses remote links and cookies.
To be truly integrated and robust, the program must also allow coupon codes as a means of identifying affiliate. And, allow permanent link of customer to affiliate or 'this order only' association as an option, on a coupon by coupon basis.

Please say that is part of the design.

Just want to say that I want the affiliates solution too - when it goes public...

I a simple affiliate program like this, and will be making one, because I have to.
I see it as this:

1. have you coupon table in your data base (add an email field) . to create a new affiliate, you create a new coupon code, and give him a bit of Java script to put in to the link.
2. that java script has some 'on click, set cookie, the cookies is the Zen affiliates cookie, w/ a value that is the customers affiliates coupon code. once set the Js brings you to your ZC.
3. on the login/create account page we run some header files that look for an affiliate program cookie and extracts the value in to the coupon code field and make its either editable or un seen so that the USER does not have to see it there.
4. in the check out complete portion of the page, the order coupon is checked against the coupon table in the DB and send emails to people letting them know that there was a commission made. the other details of what this emails contains has yet to be dreamed.
   
5. you pay the affiliates for the sales.

can I get some masters advise on of this is a good idea or not? I think is would eliminate a need for an out side service

Thanks for this - testing it now!

Just to say that this is working fine with 1.3.02 with the exception that my test products only generate commission if they are less than £1000. Don't suppose that's going to worry many people

Thanks very much to you merlinpa for your work on the zencart integration.
