Hi.
I am promoting a couple of products on e-junkie as an affiliate, and I would like to offer a free bonus to customers that purchase through my link.
How can I do this?
Every time I make a sale, I just get an email stating a sale has been made, but no reference to who bought the product or any information that I can see which would allow me to send a bonus on to the buyer.
Any ideas? This doesn't need to be automated.
kind regards,
Nick

The Sale Notification email you receive from E-junkie after payment is completed should tell you all information collected about the buyer and their order, at least their name and email, and that info would also be available in your E-junkie Seller Admin > View/Download Transaction Log.

Hi.
All I get in the email (I'm an affiliate NOT a seller) is something like:
Congratulations! You have earned an affiliate fee of xx.xx USD for the sale (ID:1234567-7654321) of [product name] on Mon Jan 5 2009 7:56:26 MST.
How do I determine the buyer from that?

Oh sorry, I didn't realize you were an Affiliate and not a Seller. There is no way for Affiliates to obtain any buyer information directly, as the buyer is purchasing directly from the Seller, so the buyer's info is proprietary to the Seller, and moreover, revealing it to others may violate the Seller's Privacy Policy. Many Sellers are also concerned about the potential for shady Affiliates (or competitors posing as Affiliates) to steal away their customers, so this limitation prevents that as well. You can only ask the Seller to provide that information manually by referencing the Internal Transaction ID in your notification/logs (which should match up to the Invoice ID in the Seller's logs).

Thanks.
I have a good relationship with the seller, but I'm not sure he'd want to email me the buyer details every day.
Does the buyer's receipt have the info that I get... ie. (ID:1234567-7654321) ?
If so, I suppose I could ask the seller to email me their receipt ID directly and I forward the free bonus to them as long as it matches a receipt I have received?

I'm not quite sure I follow you, but the ID you see should match our internal Invoice ID, which the Seller should have in their Transaction Log. If you reference that ID to the Seller, they should be able to identify the buyer and forward your bonus to them on your behalf, if that's what you meant?
