lolati Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Hello Mod affiliate OSC: "is there a way to make it so that anyone who makes a purchase in the future from the affiliate, gets credit for it? " and this answer: It's possible. Store the affiliate_id in the customer table, when the customer logs in back into the affiliate session Ok but how exactly do I manage to make this work? Adding a field to the customer table is one thing but what do I have to do to make it work? Thanks Lola Ms2 Quote Lola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 the length of time you have set for a 'cookie' on the customer's browser will determine this, read thru the affiliate documentation, you will find out how to set this. some companies only do it for a month, others for up to one year, up to you how you handle that. dont know where you got the 'add a field' . .. it is all done via cookies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
