How to assign different commissions for different products

[joycegrace]

Hello, I am using WP affiliate Platform Version v4.7 with the latest version of Shopp 1.1.9.1 and the Shopp Affiliate Integration Version v1.1.

I need to find a way to have different products offer different commission levels – is there a way to do this?

If this requires customization or hacking, could you lead me in the right direction for getting this done?

Alternatively, can different affiliates have different commission levels?

Thank you so much for your help!

Different affiliates can have different commission (simply edit an affiliate and change his commission level to what you want).

Please see this post regarding different commission for different product:

Do you know if it is possible to have different commissions for different products, or how much customization that would take, and is it allowed?

[admin]

This will only be possible if the 3rd party shopping cart that you are using can store the commission amount that you want to pay for the product in question (so that when the product is sold we can see how much commission you wanted to pay for that product). 3rd party shopping carts usually don’t have an option like that.

Can you tell me how I can find out, and what I should be asking the makers of the shopping cart so that I can see if this is possible on their end? I am using Shopp and while they may not have that feature inherently, I’d like to at least be able to ask them in technical terms if it is possible to code it into their system somehow. But I really don’t know the terms to use….

Thanks!

You can ask them the following question:

Is it possible to store commission data (any custom data basically) with the product?

Hello, yes I found out that shopp can store custom order data – can you tell me what the next step would be to setting this up?

Thanks!

[admin]

Please post a link to the documentation where it explains how to store “Customer data” with a product and then retrieve it later.

I think this is probably what you would need, but I’m not sure if “customer data” and “order data” are referring to the same thing:

Thank you so much!

It tells me that I need to log in.

Hello, sorry about that. I found out there is a downloadable guide. Here is the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3mu81pi2csffmfq/Shopp-1.2-User-Guide.zip

Thanks SO much!

Is anyone able to help me with this? I’d really appreciate it!

[admin]

The guide you shared is actually a full user guide. It looks like someone will need to make another plugin that can add custom fields in the shopp plugin to store the data. This is not something we can do unfortunately.
