Sorry for the lack of detail! The customers would come directly to us, not from other sites, which I think is why the first developer told me it wasn't possible, because of the way the sessions are handled. So, I guess I would have to have a list of the artists and labels when I create a new product and then pick one and give them a percentage of the sales. Then, when people would download a song, it would automatically track the earnings of the artist or label and make a report for them to view. Hope that makes sense and thanks so much for your kind help! :)

Hi all! I am currently working very hard in making a digital music distribution shop, but have hit a snag that I am kind of lost on. I think OSCommerce will work for everything I need except for one issue. I need to be able to pay the artists and labels variable percentages automatically every time one of their songs is sold. Plus, I will need a way for them to view and download reports and to get paid automatically when their payments reach a certain threshold. Or, at least that I would get notified of this event so that I can cut them a check or pay by paypal. I don't know a whole lot about php, so I am trying to find the best way to go about this. I was thinking I could modify the affiliate contribution for this except one developer told me I couldn't use it and another said I could. So, I am very confused. So, the question is, how would you go about doing something like this? Do you think it's very hard and complicated or something pretty simple to do? Thanks very much for any help or advice!! Omini
