How do you split the income?

12 replies
Hi,

I'm working on a new project where I provide the for product owners to display and sell their products.
Because I'm providing the site and the hosting, and giving them exposure, I would get a % of their sales.
How can I get their Paypal button to automatically send a % to me and a % to the product owner?

Or could I perhaps, with a 50/50 split, have a rotating Paypal button so that every other sale goes to him and every other sale goes to me.

I figure you guys must be the experts (you might even want your product on the site!)

    Peter,

    I suggest you try the RAP script which alternates payments between affiliates and product owner equity partners using Paypal.

    It will allow you to have affiliates promote all the products, while you also split profits with the product creators. It alternates payments so you don't have to take in all the money and redistribute.

    You can search the WF for more, or check the links in the footer of the products in my sig below for more info.

    Regards,

    Mike

        Hi Peter

        G'day from a couple of other Aussies.

        You could also try the $7 script which does the same sort of thing. One full sale to you one full sale to the affiliate.

        The challenge with both $7 script and RAP as far as we are concerned is that the affiliate is responsible for any chargebacks on funds that they receive.

        Not all affiliate will comply which means to keep your good name you sometimes need to make the payment yourself even though you din't get any of it.

      As far as RAP goes, that isn't a big issue unless you are really doing some goofy stuff or working with low caliber people.

      Since the payment goes to the affiliates paypal for their sales, if they won't honor a refund it becomes an issue with them and Paypal.

      But RAP lets you ban affiliates who don't abide by their agreements to refund when requested, so any links they've built or sent out revert back to you, and they get nothing, so it is a good incentive to play it straight.

      Instant, direct payout is a big incentive, and not having to track and mass pay affiliates is another one. No need to collect W-9s on anyone.

      RAP also has a helpful user community.

      It also has many addons and is constantly improved. If you plan to make a serious go of things, it is a better choice than the $7 script as I understand it. That one is fine for smaller ventures.

      If you PM me I can get you into the RAP user chat if you want.

        Hi guys,

        I guess I didn't explain myself too well.

        What I'm envisaging is that I am probably the affiliate.

        The product owner puts his offering on my site, with his Paypal link.
        He does his share of marketing, just like every other product provider on the site.
        He's responsible for the product delivery and any problems.
        All I want is some means of getting a cut from his Paypal payments as recompense for hosting the site. I'm giving him another avenue for his sales.

        Bronwyn - hope all is well on the Gold Coast. I've got a couple of student apartments at Robina overlooking the water - my tenants get a better outlook than I do!

          Peter,

          No need to do anything but set up affiliate links.

          Don't expect anyone to come to you unless you've got a very popular high traffic site.

          Certainly no one will set up links for you to their product unless you've got guaranteed traffic.

          Regards,

          Mike

    Yes, there is the $7 script... or to alternate between two Paypal buttons you could just write a small piece of PHP code. Create a database that logs all the sales. If the total sales no. is an even number then button A shows otherwise button B shows. Something like that.

    Of course there are other methods using PHP but that's just one example.

      Thanks Andy,

      That's exactly what I was looking for! What an elegant solution!
      Would the php code be hard to write if I went to somewhere like rent-a-coder?
