Took Some time to crack but it was worth it.
The PAP (Post Affiliate Pro) is basically of 2 parts:
- Admin [backend]
- Affilate [Client end]
Admin communicates to Affiliate via various campaigns.
He produces new campaigns and uploads collaterals, such as banners etc. [Dont under estimate collaterals. This is the only link through which you can track the affiliate performance.]
Affiliate signs up at his end and downloads the collaterals. These collaterals are automatically coded to track affiliates' ref-id if used for promotion. Basis the tracking we can estimate CPC/ Sales commission.
More to come:
- Privatising a campaign to show it to selective affiliates
- Virtuemart Integration
- Offline Sales (Coupons)
