Affiliate ID submission line

[Hayk]

Maybe it's a more Intelliants.com and Elitius issue, but it is very important for Subrion. I think a line of Affiliate referrer ID should be added at order form that will detect sales more concretely and affiliates will not lose any customer referred by them. Also it may be very helpful for special programs (e.g.submit ID xxx to your form and will receive yyy). So, please add such function to order form. It will help to improve affiliate system of Subrion (Intelliants) and as a result improve sales of Subrion CMS. Thanks

Hmm, actually I do not quite well what's is the issue. Let's imagine you are registered as an affiliate at intelliants.com. You placed a link to our site - no matter what page you put a link to - a visitor comes to subrion.com site and affiliate checking starts.. When visitors pay for the software you get a sale in your aff account.

Yes, Vasily, you're right. But...

1. I may refer someone to Subrion not only by link, but also by any other way. For example, I am talking with someone by IM and say him. Buy Subrion, link: http://www.subrion.com. He reviews your site 2-3 days and after that he decides to buy a license. Actually his cookies may be deleted in this period, but he may know that he referred by me and may insert my affiliate ID.

2. I may want not to have an affiliate link. I may want to have a direct link to your site and allow visitors to add or not add my affiliate ID, cause that is not so comfortable for anyone when he is referred to site via affiliate link. That's a common trend in all affiliate programs.

3. I may want to have a special programm to sell Subrion. For example, I may say: If you will be Subrion and add to it this affiliate ID, I will give you any good or anything else. I think that's good for Subrion and for me as well.

Cookie based affiliate system doesn't allow to work more dynamically. This system will allow affiliates to be more the partners of Subrion instead of just link affiliates of it

P.S. Btw more affiliate programs go by this way, e.g. the last is vBSEO that just added Referred By optional line to it's order form

Ok, now I catch the idea. Well I will talk to Elitius guys and ask how long it will take to make this modification. Another thing though. You should be registered in an affiliate program anyway. And how do we identify your account? By username? Or by full name?

[Hayk]

I think Affiliate ID is the best way. For example, if my affiliate link to Subrion is http://www.intelliants.com/affiliate...11111111&pid=3, where my ID is 11111111. Or both Affiliate ID or Username (two lines)

Ok, this makes the problem much more simple. I hope this can be implemented quite soon

[Hayk]

Ok, fine
