Using WishList Member & Paypal - How Do You Pay Affiliates?? Which Aff. Program is Best?

by Michele Miller
7 replies
Hi Guys,

I have a Membership site using WishList Member and Wordpress. I want to start an Affiliate program.

The members pay x 4 months via Paypal. I want to pay my affiliates $30.00 per month x 4 months, or for however many months the member is still in my membership site.

What would you recommend?

I have looked at paydotcom and I have set up an account, but it is confusing to me whether or not it is possible to do what I have outlined above.

If anybody is doing something similar, or has a better suggestion than paydotcom, please advise.

Thanks!

    Hey Michelle,

    I'm sure there are already people doing what you want with PDC and WishList so maybe contact their support and see if you can get a pointer. If not, since PDC has an API available, I'm sure you could outsource this to a programmer to integrate the 2 pretty cheaply.

    Also, take a look at Post Affiliate Pro. It's a solid script and I believe it already has an integration module available for WishList.

    Hi Michelle,

    WL Member will also work with 1SC
    or Clickbank.

    I'd keep in mind that with PDC you'll
    pay a fee of $3 for each transaction,
    on top of normal PayPal fees,
    and you'll be responsible for paying
    your affiliates - for me, that's a
    headache.

    I used PDC once - after realizing I'd
    paid over $1500 for affiliate tracking
    I decided 1SC was a better deal. :-o

    If you have more than 40 members
    then 1SC makes financial sense -
    especially when you consider everything
    else it can do for you -

    Or if you prefer to be truly hands-off,
    but pay a little more then Clickbank
    could work well for you. (I have not
    used CB with a membership site, but
    in a non-IM niche I use them for
    individual products and find the refund
    rates similar to selling through other
    avenues.)

    Like Rob pointed out, I also understand
    the guys at WL member have been
    working to integrate PLP - and it sounds
    like that might work for you.

    Main point here is that each affiliate
    tracking option has its pluses and
    minuses and I recommend having
    clarity on how you want to manage
    affiliates, pay them, etc - and know
    what the real costs of doing so are.

    All the best to you - X

    Paydotcom does work, have a look within the settings and this can be done

    Hi Michele,

    In case you decided to use Post Affiliate Pro as affiliate software (I saw Rob recommended it to you), we can help you with integration in case you had any troubles with it. (I'm from Quality Unit, which develops PAP4)

    We have quite a lot of integration methods already and in case there is any method missing, it will be pleasure for us to document and implement it.

      They are working on integration with iDevAffiliate so you might want to wait for that.

        If not, what should I use with WishList Member to do this?
        I have a WSO with warriorplus, the affiliate get paid 50% recurring commission.

        - the 1st subscriber will go to me, then 2nd subscribe go to affiliate, then 3rd subscriber go to me and so on.

        for JV partner, you can use another wsopro license to do this arrangement.
