Hello Warriors,

I am looking for a sales system to use, but don't know if one even exists that fits my needs. I am hoping one of you knows one that does what I describe below, because otherwise I'll have to get one custom coded...shudder!

I need other people to be able to list their product on my system, then get affiliates for their products. Meaning this would be much like PayDotCom but I would run it.

I need this for physical products I would be manufacturing for various companies, so it needs to handle physical products (input address feature), and be able to pay me (manufacturer), the creator (product inventor), and the affiliates their share after a sale. Preferably also have a feature to deal with refunds but I can handle that manually if need be.

I don't have any problem gathering an audience and marketing isn't a problem. However, unless I can find an product affiliate management system like I described, I can't get started. I'm not planning to roll my idea out for a month or two, but need to get started setting stuff up when I can.

Cheers,
Colin Palfrey

  • What does your budget look like for this section of your project?

    If you want to do it right, I would suggest you work directly with a coder so you get exactly what you want. It may cost a little more up front, but it will save you a ton of time and headaches...

    The budget is severely limited at the moment, which is why I am hoping there is something like this already out there.

    I had not counted on the government here changing the rules, so suddenly everything about starting a business is looking far more expensive. On the other hand I could move away from all the new fees that have appeared, but then that would sap all the money I have anyway.

    I do plan to reinvest in it though, but I am hoping that to start with there is something I can use already in place.

    Cheers,

    Definitely sounds like something that will have to be custom coded. And it will not be anything close to cheap.

      That's what I thought, but hoped to be wrong.

    I believe Rapid Action Profits will fit your needs as long as you are willing to accept PayPal, it is primarily designed as a digital delivery system, but has all of the features you require. It will allow you to set up Equity Sharing between you and the Creator, and handle all of your affiliates.

    If I was going to go this route I would probably invest in the MassPay addon, and use it rather that the current autopay method built into the system.

      Hi Getsmarrt,

      Does RAP do three way sharing then?

      Also do you know if there is a way to adjust the percentages, as an equal three way split wouldn't work on this one. I thought they rotated who the sale goes to, which would make uneven percentages quite tricky.

      Cheers,

        Yes 3 way is very doable each product can have "parteners" at whatever split you like, and then affiliates that take a split as well, Rap will allow you to set percentages pretty much any way you would like, the main program does do alternating sales, which is why I recommend the MassPay plugin, which allows you to pay out, on a regular basis rather than alternating payments.
