    Hello,

    I want to do this:

    Let's say my unique Amember domain is: myamemberdomain.com

    I will have 2 different products:

    Product 1: sign-up page and domain is product1.com (with an iframe to myamemberdomain.com/signup.php?price_group=-1)

    Product 2: sign up page and domain is product2.com (with an iframe to myamemberdomain.com/signup.php?price_group=-2)

    So, an affiliate will have these links:

    1.- myamemberdomain.com/go.php?r=1&i=l0 with URL to redirect after click: product1.com (for product 1)

    2.- myamemberdomain.com/go.php?r=1&i=l1 with URL to redirect after click: product2.com (for product 2)

    My question is:

    Will the affiliate link work even if the URL to redirect after click is to another domain which is not my amember domain? (although it will contain an iframe with my amember domain)

    Thanks.

    Yes, since the affiliate is using an amember created link- the customer is cookied when they are 1st brought to your amember site, before the iframe or redirect to the other site.

    so, the cookie is installed BEFORE the redirects occurs, right?

    Yes- but you can always test this too.
    Check your cookies before and after the redirect to see what is added.
