Greets, looked but no joy.

I would like to know is this is done, if not, I will pay and donate to the community.

I would like to reward referrals, like a gift certificate for 10% of the purchases of the person they referred.

I would like that when they put in a code, maybe the referrers last name, a generated code, etc., it issues a gift certificate to the person that referred them.

All of this automated, reported and administrated through the admin.

I suspect that this is possible and if someone can do it PM me for arrangements.

Many thanks,

[Geoser]

You should take a look at the following contribution:
http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,282

I am having a few problems with it, but other users seem to have it working.

Alternatively you can try oscafiliates contribution.

Thanks for the response George,

I do have that mod installed, it came bundled with Ians Loaded 5 and use it often.

I should have mentioned that.
What I want is to incorpate using that mod so all of this is automated, reported and administrated through the admin.

Thanks again!

Use the affiliate:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/oscaffiliate/

then you pay them by giftvoucher

Thanks Henri, this looks pretty good. I will install it on my test server tonight.

Hi Henri,

I installed it on the test server, fine work my friend!

I also read the 55+ page post regarding the mod and plan on looking into the ability to combine regular login with the affiliate login.

Now could you be so kind as to direct me towards being able to offer to the client, as the only option, credit in my store as payment? (I do have the Gift Voucher/Gift Voucher installed)

I would like for the original order confirmation email to prompt them to reffer others to the store in return for free products rather than cash by giving a link to the details of the offer.

If you could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful or I would be willing to pay if you will do it.

Many thanks,

[henri]

You only want to pay you affiliates by gift voucher.

my short thinking:

- deactivate all other payments
(- add an option pay per giftvoucher to the admin)
- adjust the billing engine that it sends an giftvoucher about the earned money to the affiliate.
or ad an option to send an giftvoucher to the payment details (my sugestion for an universal solution)

You mean that every customer is a affiliate? Then you have to merge the affiliate / customertables and then you can give your customers an ref=customer_id link in the order confirmation.

[Mr. Ree]

Thanks for the help so far Henri.

I have everything done except to merge the affiliate / customertables and then you can give your customers an ref=customer_id link in the order confirmation.

Please explain the ref=customer_id deal. I searched pnp.net but there is no reference.

Thanks again for your time.

Very simple you want something like this in ou order email:

Earn money by reffering to us:
Your link: http://yourshop.org/default.php?ref=customerid

if the affiliatesystem gets a 'ref' Varaible it knows that the link comes from an affiliate.
Thats all.
If the customertable = affiliate table every customer is an affiliate.
