    Hello,

    I had hoped to use the aMember affiliate functionality, but it doesn't seem robust enough for me.

    See, I'm not interested in having members act as affiliates. I want to set up other companies as affiliates and be able to control unique commissions by product and affiliate, etc.

    I've heard "talk" of iDev Affiliate and Post Affiliate Pro.

    Any recommendations?

    And, how do they actually integrate with aMember? How does the affiliate software know if somebody has purchased something through our aMember system?

    Thanks in advance.

    Steve

    Steve,
    as with any shopping-cart software, there is a little piece of code added to aMember's "thank you for purchase page". This code let affiliate software know that purchase was made.

    I personally recommend PAP

    Thanks Alex.

    Does the affiliate software typically have you put something in the querystring like /amember/signup.php?aff=123

    Or is there an initial address that the user is sent to (to record the affiliate) and then the user is redirected to /amember/signup.php?

    Thanks again,

    Steve

    Yes to both questions.
