    Once aMember is setup with a payment processor, how can affiliate tracking software be linked to the process so it can track and log the event triggers (visitors to affiliates page, customer purchases then or later"?

    I understand it will use cookie and or ip tracking, but how is the affiliate software triggered so it will know and follow the aMember process?

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Usually affiliate progams use "hidden" <IMG> tags for this goal. You can incorporate this tag into
    amember/templates/thanks.html file and use the following tags to substitute into image URL:

    {$payment.amount} - amount
    {$payment.receipt_id} - receipt id from payment system
    {$payment.payment_id} - aMember payment id

    it works with almost all payment plugins.
