I am just seting up the system, so how does the affiliate system work?

I worked myself for an affiliate system with 50% payout, but it happened very rare.

It was to download the trieal version of a software.
After 6 weeks, the trial version expired and I assume most cookies had been deleted.

So I got my money only in the rare cases, that the cookie survived the 6 weeks trial period.


I do not want, that similar happens to my affiliate system here, so I ask how it works.


An other idea is to sell a merchant voucher codes.

The merchant can sell his voucher codes direct.
The customer can use the voucher code to download my e-book.

I write merchant, because this is complete different from affiliate.
The affiliate only arranged selling.

The merchant buys viucher codes with a discunt and sells voucher codes.

This help page explains how our built-in affiliate system works:

If you use the hop link method, buyers who click a Hop Link will be redirected to your landing page URL while our system sets a cookie in the buyer's browser that expires in 6 months. Every product the buyer purchases from you during the lifetime of that cookie will earn the referring affiliate a commission according to your specified share percentage.

If you use the Direct Link method, this provides the affiliate with purchase buttons they can place on their own site; the buyer would still be purchasing directly from you, but the affiliate earns a commission on each order placed through their Direct Link buttons.

(that thread looks familiar) ;)


I have a question..

if you use the 'DIRECT LINK' option you outlined above.. by giving each 'affiliate' their own 'buy now' button code...

does it still set a 6 month cookie that isnt erased until the time is up or they use an alternate affiliate buy now button?

thanks!

Direct Links do not set a referral cookie for residual commissions on subsequent orders; the affiliate only earns a commission on each order placed through their own Direct Link purchase buttons.
