snap-affiliates?

[zartoo]

I cannot seem to get this to work with CEON URI....I have added the following to my htaccess:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/&referrer=CP.* [NC]

(CP is my referrer code)....

Also is there any way to get this to work with those that chose guest checkout (FEC module)?

Thank you for a phenomenal mod - it is awesome!!!!

Thanks,

Jill

Hi Did you get this fixed? I'm facing exactly the same problem. URI and guest checkout. Thanks!

This shouldn't be a problem with the Guest Checkout, but you need to changes inside the logic for Guest Checkout. And is this a bonafide fix for the CeonURI, I was thinking this needs a similar fix.

Likely to be a dumb question but I am good at asking dumb questions.

Does Snap work like the Amazon Store affiliate program whereby the affiliate can modify the appearance of the store and the customer does not realize they have left the original site? Or is it simply a link setup from their site to my store?

I have downloaded the plugin but am yet to install it as I suppose I need to understand exactly how it works. I have read the forum posts from page 1 but am still not clear.

I have not been involved in having affiliates before however ideally I envisage being able to plant my store, or sections thereof, (with certain things modified/modifiable like header image, store name references etc so that it fits within their site theme as best as possible) into someone else's site with all the shopping cart functions being linked to my site so that I control the customer and the purchase ... So wondering if this can be done?

I would appreciate a brief description from someone as to how snap works in practice and also any advice in respect to what I would like to achieve.

cheers,
Mike

Hi there. Sorry for not replying to this earlier. But as of right now, NO. This program does NOT create affiliate sites. This program simply tracks referrers and commissions based on a tracking cookie. The tracking cookie is installed in the visitors browser when they use a special link provided to visit the site and stays with them for a set duration of time.

Thanks Retched - sorry if my post was a bit pointed.

Where can I find a mud map that shows how this add-on works? Something like; I have site with products - Joe wants to sell my products as an affiliate >>>>> Then how does Snap work after Joe has applied and I approve him - what is the process thereafter? do I make a banner for him and he puts it on his site or do I send him images of product that have the tracking cooking embedded - ??

I have no doubts about being able to handle the program once loaded but I have no idea how it is meant to work in the first place

cheers,

The update is almost done. I just have to get a copy out to beta test to the public. So far Private Beta testing are showing that the site is working and taking commissions.

One of the draw backs is the fact that I'm trying to accomplish the ability to award commissions on SELECT transactions. That is, the user/admin will go to each affiliate and manually award the balance to them. From there, the user will be sent an email that will tell them how much they are expecting. Obviously, everyone would like an easy button where the affiliates are automagically awarded their commissions based on having an order status of say "Complete" tabbed, emails, etc... but that isn't priority right now. For right now, I'm staying within the framework of the abandoned project and adding things as I go along.

Another hang ups is the email templating system. I thought I had a fix for this a while ago, just to find out... crap hit the fan and you'll see the PHP defines in capital letters printed in the message sent. What will most likely end up happening is the template files will be deleted and hard-coded directly into referrers.php code.

Some roadmap of what's to come:
- Tracking
- Better email system
- More detailed application (payment choice)
- The ability to create an affiliate account without needed a store account.
