I saw you have built-in affiliate functionality. Would it be possible to integrate with a 3rd party affiliate program such as iDevAffiliate. Possibly utilizing the 'thank you' page? If so, would it still count sales/commissions accurately?

Sure, the way 3rd party affiliate systems work is that they provide affiliates a link which sets a cookie on the buyer machine and redirect buyer to your purchase page.
When a buyer reaches the thank you page, a JavaScript snipped provided to you by the affiliate system reads the cookie and credits the affiliate.
To have such a system work with E-junkie, you simply need to place the JavaScript code provided to yo by you affiliate system in E-junkie's thank you page. Please see "customization" section in E-junkie for that < http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/help.customization.php >.

Hi. I clicked on the link above to read about customization and I got a 404 Not Found error. Is there another place to find that?

Copy & paste the link instead of clicking on it, or remove the %3E. after the .php in the address bar.

I was just told by another user that the buyer has to click on proceed after the sale in order for the affiliate to get the credit... so if we place the java code in the thank-you part of ejunkie, is this the case? I need the affiliate to get the credit without the buyer having to click on anything, otherwise there is no point...

PayPal Pro is the only payment processor that automatically displays the thank-you page upon completion of checkout; regular PayPal standard and all other processors only provide a return/continue link on their own checkout confirmation page, which the buyer must manually click to reach any thank-you page.

For security reasons, we cannot support raw PHP in our thank-you pages. In that case, you would need to use our Redirection feature to bypass our thank-you page and instead send the buyer to your own thank-you URL where you could implement PHP yourself:
