How do I keep some products away from most affiliates, but visible by one?

    Hi,

    I asked this question to support but the response was 'it is possible but may need customization'

    I have no idea how to do any of that.

    To clarify what I want to acheive, I'll explain the situation.

    I have a product, that sells on multiple pages because some affiliates have a customized landing page made up, and some may also have a discount applied.

    So normally, the product sells on mydomain.com for $67.

    But one of my affiliates (we'll call him Boris), will have a customized landing page, like mydomain/boris.html and the product is being offered for $57.

    If I create a seperate product called 'boris product' and sell it for $57, then this product is going to be seen in every affiliates account, but I only want it visible to boris himself in his affiliate account.

    How could I do this?

    Also, I can not apply a coupon for a discounted product that is landing on a customized landing page, because each product only has one landing page possible when creating the links and banners so I have to create it a seperate product.

    Cheers

    Hi,

    Thanks but I think you're referring to paid subsctibers, clients etc. I'm only referring to affilaites.

    All of my products, have a negative group number, a different one for each product, but they are all visible to an affiliate. I want it so that I can create a product, that can only be seen by 'one' affiliate, not all of them.

    Cheers

    If you are dealing with a small number of affiliates, I think what you can do is set up multiple versions of aMember on your site, one version for each affiliate:
    site.com/affilaitea
    site.com/affiliateb

    Hello,

    I might be way out in left field here, but it seems you would need to somehow filter out affiliate in function display_links in file aff.php if I understand how the affiliate stuff works.

    Maybe if you added an exclude list of member ids to end of url when you create the link. Strip off the exclude list in display_links and use it to filter out members that will not get the link. Anyway thats a long shot in the dark.
