Hello,
I want to sign-up affiliates to help me market my photo products.
This way my images/gallery could be shown on many more websites and I would be willing to share 10-20% of my sales with my affiliates who direct buyers to me.
For this to happen I need a way to notify affiliate network about sale details.
This usually could be accomplish in either of 2 ways:
1. Redirecting buyer to "thank you" page with affiliate tracking code in it.
2. Having custom IPN-type (Paypal term) call made after successful sale is made (GET request to custom URL with sales info encoded)
Either of above ways must include information about the sale, usually sale amount and customer's IP address for affiliate rewarding purposes.
Is anything like that possible with current SmugMug payment system?
Integrating affiliate marketing features into Smugmug powerful payment framework would give sales boost to members as well to extra exposure for smugmug galleries on many more websites.
