Can affiliates use minisites to sell products?
Here's my thoughts so far ...
ABC Co produces Widget which they offer on an affiliate program.
XYZ sells Widget on their own minisites XYZWidget.
Who does the payment link route through to?
The way I see it is that the customer would expect to pay XYX, but as it is an affiliate program surely the payment needs to go to ABC Co, who then pay an affiliate commission (to XYZ) later.
It seems that the expectations of the buyers and the producer are at odds, with the affiliate sort of stuck in the middle.
Is it just that minisites are not really appropriate for affiliate marketing?
Thanks folks.
