I'm new to trying to integrate aMember and ClickBank... Is there any instruction or documentation on how aMember/ClickBank handles selling different products via affiliates? Example: "Product A" = pid #1 in CB - This is where all the traffic is going to go if a user is sent to a standard CB affiliate link http://affiliate.merchant.hop.clickbank.net "Product B" = pid #2 in CB - I want my members/affiliates to be able to promote this product as well. A. Is this handled by aMember at all? B. Can it be handled by a plugin that someone's created already? C. Does it even need to be integrated into aMember - i.e. Can it be handled by some simple programming? How would that integrate with aMember? Thanks in advance!! D. Is there any documentation on how we handle the link to pid #1 even?
Sure such urls will work just set target url to ammeber's signup page for corresponding product. Clickbank affiliate programm is not related to amember and will work separately, this does not matter where user will be sent(to ammeber or other script) if payment will be completed in clickbank later.
Maybe my question was unclear... I have two completely different products in one ClickBank account, and I want my affiliates to be able to promote both directly. The way ClickBank works is merchants only get one "landing page" URL in their account. (Dumb, yes I know.) So, without special programming (like EasyClickMate) the affiliates can only promote the first product (pid = 1). A. Can that be managed in aMember right now? B. Does someone have some custom programming that handles it that they're willing to share/trade/sell? C. Are there any instructions on how to actually USE the CB plugin? My first question is how does the "flow" go? Example: Salesletter -> Plain CB payment link -> [aMember creates user/payment] -> login.php The most important question is the payment link? Do we still use aMember's payment link or do we use a ClickBank link instead?
With amember 3.1.9 you can do either. Salesletter -> Plain CB payment link -> [aMember creates user/payment] / Thanks page -> login.php or Salesletter -> amember signup -> clickbank payment -> Thanks page -> login.php aMember doesnt have any code to handle this. David
Thanks David! Besides EasyClickMate do you know other software that allows affiliates to promote multiple products from one account? If not, do you know where I might find some example code that would show me how to do it? (I don't need all the fancy tracking and such that ECM has, I just need a way to give people the right link.) (I was also considering a separate CB account for each main product I want them to promote; but that would require a field in each product for the CB merchant account. And I prefer to keep things simple, if I can get/make code to do it.) Also... If we're using this "flow", Salesletter -> Plain CB payment link -> [aMember creates user/payment] -> login.php The CB payment link is just the standard http:// 1.merchantid.pay.clickbank.net?
I think i figured out my first question... To send traffic to a different product URL, you need two things. 1. An indentifier in the affiliate link: ex. http:// affiliate.merchant.hop.clickbank.net/?link=3123 2. And your landing page (in your CB account) needs to point to a script that takes that identifier and distributed the traffic to the appropriate salespage. if ( link == 3123) { code to redirect to salesletter } else { redirect to primary salesletter } --- So the only question I have left (for now) is do we just use the standard CB payment link on our salesletters? I'm only questioning it because of how AWESOME this feature is. I almost can't believe that it's that simple.
To answer my own question: yes... the standard CB payment link is used. This is a revolution for aMember... taking the payment before a user signs up, automatically creating the account, creating the payment, and taking the user to a logged in thanks.php page (which I redirect to the download page). Thanks to anyone involved with creating this plugin. You rock!
