Wordpress plug ins

I would like to know if anyone has a solution to this problem.

I have a website with a friend and we both sell the same products.
However, we want to be able to tell who has sold what.
We want some sort of plug in or other idea that can enable us to know who sent the person to our site so we each get our own sales commissions.

Any ideas?

  • WP-affiliate will work for you. Just set up the plugin and set up a separate link for each of you and you will get full reports on clicks and sales that each of you generate.
  • Does that only work with Commission Junction?
    If so, it's no good for us.
  • Definitely! Just download the plugin wpstorecart!
  • I assume you both send traffic to the same site. Is that right?
    If yes, why not just have set up two different "campaigns" in G. Analytics (practically, 2 different URLs) to track the traffic?

  • I will tell my webmaster and see what he says. Thank you
  • that is only one part. we need to find a way to track people who come from Google or other places where they may not even see an affiliate link.
    Also. an affiliate link only takes you to buy... but how do you track who got those actual sales? Does that make sense?

    • What your talking about is tracking the cookies and sales from an affiliate program. Most affiliate programs offer a Sub-ID, which I believe would help you immensely. Just have two sub-ID's, one for you and one for your friend, and make separate links. They will go to the same product, on the same account, but will track differently.

      If your affiliate program doesn't offer a sub-id, but offers an API tracking system, then you can integrate your own sub-id system using php and have assign a unique forward to the affiliate program and hopefully the API is advanced enough to return one that you can uniquely identify.
