2- How to manage it with 2co
3- Ejunkie will handle it or 2co as money is going to 2co.com

Please give me detail reply how to manage it.

Thanks

1) When you use our Affiliate Program feature you can setup product specific links if you want.

2) There is nothing special you have to do with 2Checkout to use our Affiliate Program feature.

3) Our system will register the affiliate transactions, however the affiliate will not be paid automatically. You will need to pay your affiliates after the transactions. All the funds will still transfer to your account.

Here is a link to our help page on our Affiliate Program feature:

I've been studying the instructions and have a question about where to direct affiliate's links.

1) If I use the same % commission for each product, the directions say to just link the affiliate's link back to home page or specific product page. I'll want it to be to specific product pages, but that means that link should be different depending on what the affiliate is promoting. Just bringing them to my web site is confusing - they should be lead right to the spot promoted. How is this achieved?

And if a universal commission % is offered, it looks like that can be overridden with product specific links.

2) Is it possible to set this up so that the affiliate cannot get a commission on their OWN purchase, only when sold to others?



Thanks

You can go to Seller Admin > Setup Product-Specific Affiliate Programs, select a product and click Edit Affiliate Settings. That will allow you to specify a unique share percentage and paste in a hop link landing page URL for just that product. Any percentage you enter there would override your Common share percentage for all affiliate-referred sales of that product, regardless of whether the buyer followed your Common hop link or the product's hop link.

It's still a good idea to have a Common hop link landing page URL, which would work as a fallback landing page for "orphaned" hop link -- i.e., any product-specific hop links issued for products which have since been deleted or had their own hop link disabled would still work as Common hop links, redirecting to your Common hop link URL.

There's no way to automatically track or block affiliates using their own hop link to purchase a product they're promoting. You could watch for that and manually adjust any relevant affiliate commission total(s) in your monthly masspay.txt file before uploading the to PayPal Mass Payment. However, many affiliates might reasonably expect to sample the product at a discounted "wholesale cost" before they'll consider promoting it for you. You could just watch for cases where the only sale an affiliate has referred is their own purchase, and just delete their line from the masspay file before you pay out commissions.

Speaking of Mass Payments, PayPal has recently changed their policy regarding access to that service; please see details here:

Thanks Guru.

If you provide 2 links, how do you connect that to the affiliate so that they have the links? How do affiliates get their hands on those 2 links, or more?

It makes sense for a potential affiliate to be able to 'sample', yet I can see it easily being used simply as a discount so you recommend monitoring. Wouldn't affiiates wonder about this then - or is it OK to arbitrarily, based on no subsequent sales, to eliminate a commission pay? Is this something that is to be commnicated to affiliates in advance?

I also have one page with 11 products. Is there a way for an affiliate to just link to that page with the common amount or each individual?

Is there someone I can just speak with for making these last adjustments? It would speed things up tremendously.

Whats' the difference between a direct link and a hop link?

This help page for affiliates explains how they would use our system, choose and obtain links, etc.:
http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/help.for-affiliates.htm

You may want to join your own affiliate program by clicking your own sign-up link, so you can see exactly what your affiliates would see in their Affiliate Admin. You won't need to register a new account to join your program; your existing E-junkie login will work fine for that. You can use the Sellers and Affiliates tabs at the top of our site to pick which Admin you want to see at any given moment.

If you will not pay commission on affiliates' own purchases, you should clearly state that on the page where you recruit affiliates to sign up, just so there's no misunderstanding. It may be a good idea to put your sign-up link only on that page, then any other affiliate recruitment links you post elsewhere would just point to that page. You can also paste the URL of that page as the "More Information" link in your Seller Admin > Affiliate Program Settings, so affiliates can find their way back to it easily by clicking the More Info button in their Affiliate Admin.

If you have a page with multiple products, you might consider making that your Common hop link landing page URL.

The difference between Hop Links vs. Direct Links is explained in this section of our affiliate system help page (and also explained on the help page for affiliates linked above):

We provide all routine support via email and here in the Forum. You can also ask some basic preliminary questions via text chat with a live agent on our site during weekday business hours; just look along the right-hand edge of our site for the "Questions? Chat with us" link, which appears whenever an agent is available for chat. In order to keep our service affordable, as with most Internet-based companies, we cannot offer live support via phone. We reply to emails and forum posts within less than 24 hours, usually same-day during business hours.

I am in the process of redesigning a site. I want to find affilate programs for tactical gear. Can you direct me to the best affiliate program for that. I want to sell hiking gear, outdoor sports/hunting, flashlights, apparel, eyewear, etc.

My site is http://www.tacticaldirect.com.

What type of affiliate program are you looking at? Single level, or multi level?

E-Junkie is already has single level in-built affiliate program. If you want multi-level, there are many softwares in the market.

You can drop me an email, and I will share with you the multi-level affiliate program that I use.

Best Wishes

Starz has it right, we do already have a single level program that can work for you if you are using E-junkie to sell your products. If you are looking for multi-level programs then perhaps Starz can point you in the right direction.

We can't guarantee that an outside affiliate system will work with our cart though, which was the main reason we designed our own that we can vouch for compatibility wise.

We support several different third party checkout methods so there are differences between certain setups that can affect your results. We go over the basics here:

E-JunkieMonsterIf you have a page with multiple products, you might consider making that your Common hop link landing page URL.

I have one page with 11 products on it. One of those products includes all the others on the page.

I've created a link to the inclusive product so that it would take buyers right to that page. As I have an overall affiliate % entered for ALL products, will this then also mean that if someone follows the affiliate code to that page and select 1, 2, or 5 of the other products on that page, NOT including the 'inclusive' package, this will be tracked properly for the affiliate?

here's the page:

http://www.fitquickies.com

Any link works for any product, the only difference in various links is what page they lead to.

So a buyer can come to your site via the link for a certain product, buy something entirely different from you, and still credit the affiliate who referred them. They can even leave your site and come back or buy something from your account on a different page (or even an entirely different site) and still have the sale tracked.

Oh, thanks! Is there any way to interrupt this? Or does the original affiliate connection just go on forever?

Sales are tracked by a cookie which lasts for six months. If you would like to adjust the time the cookie lasts, enter a number of days in the same field as your common hop-link URL.

For example if your common hop-link URL iss http://www.fitquickies.com and you want the cookie to last for three months instead of six you would enter "http://www.fitquickies.com 90"

Do I actually add it in the place where the link is created? Wouldn't that come up as an unrecognizable URL?

Please describe the flow to get to the place to enter that code iin the back end.

Also, can it be done with the hoplink code?

thanks for your assist.

Our system will recognize the number you enter after the URL as the number of days your cookie should last. We don't add that number to the URL when it comes time to actually send people to your landing page.

Follow these steps:

1 - Go to Seller Admin > Edit Affiliate Program Settings
2 - In the field for Common Hop Link URL enter the URL you want affiliates to link to.
3 - Press space and then enter the number of days you want the cookie to last. Our system will know where the URL ends and the number begins by that space.

It's a bit of a secret back door setting we added on someone's request, we don't normally recommend making adjustments to how long the cookie lasts but if you wish to change that this is how to do it.

OK - found it. I assume it will just override previous settings.

At the same time, I'd like to hear your rationale about the timeframe ej has chosen and best practices. And if someone has already started, would this code be updated from their end or only new affs?

Buyers referred to your site via an affiliate hop link will often not actually buy anything from you immediately. When a buyer clicks an affiliate's hop link, we set a referral cookie in their browser that expires in 6 months to ensure that the affiliate, who brought your product/site to the buyer's attention, would still earn a residual commission for their referral if the buyer eventually makes a purchase later, within a time frame when it's reasonable to infer the affiliate's earlier referral contributed to the sale being made.

The default 6-month residual commission period is what we document on our help pages and what existing E-junkie affiliates would expect, so if you choose to shorten that period, you should be clear about that on your site's affiliate recruitment page and paste the URL of that page in your Affiliate Program Settings > More Information URL field, so affiliates can find their way back to that page via the More Info button in their Affiliate Admin.

Adding a custom referral-cookie lifespan to your landing page URL for a given hop link would affect cookies set by clicking that type of link from that moment on, but referral cookies already set by hop link clicks before you'd added the custom lifespan would be unaffected. E.g., if you add a 30 day lifespan to your Common Hop Link landing page URL, all your affiliates' common hop links (including those already issued to affiliates) would start setting a referral cookie that expires only 30 days after the link is clicked, but any product-specific hop links (if you'd set those up) would be unaffected unless you also add a custom lifespan to the landing page URLs for those as well.
