Is there a way to pay affiliates 100% commission directly to their PAypal accounts? There are a couple scripts out there that can do this but was wondering if there was a way to hack/modify Amember to do this?
jkwilson78, this is on my wish list too. I have a couple of give away products and semi-reseller products I'd love to pay out 100% commission so I can build leads and make back end offers to the buyers. But i don't want the liability that comes with paying out 100% commissions in the case of fraud purchasers who basically seek 100% commission programs to pass fake purchases through, so they can turn you into an ATM for their stolen credit cards. That liability isn't an issue when it's their own PayPal account on the line. If anyone finds how to do this please let me know too Andre
How about the $7 secret script? It pays directly to the affiliates paypal account. Havent figured out how to integrate this into amember but would be handy. David
That's one of the reasons I abandoned the script. It isn't integrated into amember. Plus it may be subject to 'breaking' when microsoft releases changes to its browser. The old version of the $7 script wouldn't process orders if a potential buyer landed on your page using internet explorer v7. Comparing conversion results for folks who actually reached one of my payment pages against the number of ie7 users who couldn't, I estimate I lost 500 sales for one of my products during initial test launch week. Was a painful experience I don't ever want to repeat. Plus i got a lot of hateful msgs sent to me from complete strangers because cart wasn't working. They never returned to the buy page. aMember has never caused me to lose sales. $7 is cheap, but not so cheap if it costs you sales. The folks at $7 script have since released a newer version of the script that doesn't have that problem. It works fine. Is a good product. But who knows what weird things microsoft might do with their next service pack or browser release to cause the same problems to pop up again??? The only advantages $7 script offer are: 1 - built in one-time offer 2 -referrer bears responsiblity for 100% commissions 3- has lots of features plus can tie into your own autoresponders and not only hosted responders, as some scripts require 4 - is darned cheap. too cheap for all that it does But I'd rather stay with the tried and true for the products I have in mind. So...if a 100% commission can ever be integrated in amember it'd be an additional feature making amember that much more awesome. No disrespect against Leger and his script and his team. It worked great at making me money on some of my offers. Plus their support of a product that is so dang cheap is amazing. How they can afford that is beyond me. It's just that the issues with ie7 and issues with folks who were blocking cookies preventing them from moving past the 'you will be redirected in 5 seconds' message were too much to deal with. The potential buyers would leave without buying. At least with amember you can follow up with pending buyers -- provided the pending buyers aren't spammers trying to get you to reveal your email address to them :/
Has this been fixed? I get the instant payment, direct to the users paypal not being there being an issue, but no reason you still couldn't use amember to pay a 100% commission is there? (think you would loose a little $ on the paypal fee) David
Hello, Is there a plugin now that does this? It's exactly what I'm looking for, the thread was started about 2 years ago so maybe there is something available now that integrates with amember? Thanks
No ones developed one that I'm aware of. It may be possible to integrate RAP (rapid action profits) with amember to do it. David
Thanks a lot David for your reply. Is it something that I could easily do myself or does it involve some programming? If you know how to do that yourself would it be possible to pay you to do it for me? Thanks again
You would need a bit of custom coding- i wouldnt do it. It may also be possible to get a coder over at RAP to make a plugin that hooks into the amember system. Theyve done it for wishlist already, so may be able to do for amember too. Heres a link to em RAP Tools David
Thanks a lot David for your help. Sorry for the late reply, I didn't get any notification that a reply had been made.
