WP Affiliate Platform Integration with amember

[aochart]

Question:

Can WP Affiliate Platform be integrate with Amember?

I have a site that is already set with Amember using PAYPAL as payment system and will love to add WPAP as affiliate program. Maybe thru Paypal IPN.

Is the IPN already being used with this payment button? Does aMember have an Integration Option for 3rd party affiliate software?

Yes to the 2 questions… aMember uses IPN and have the option to pass the IPN to an aditional 3rd party software (example, Jrox, IDev,).

Your software is great… I already installed, and the look and fell of WordPress Affiliate Platform is SUPERIOR… First Class.

I just need to find how to integrate with aMember, because I already have a site working with that system.

Note: There is a big niche of people using aMember (is one of the first membership software in the market) but the affiliate option that comes with that software don’t do the job… and WPAP could be a great companiom.

If you need more info you can sent me a PM.

Glad to hear that you like the plugin. If you are using a PayPal button and aMember can pass the IPN to a 3rd party software then there should be no issue with the integration.

You should be able to use “Method 2” from here:

Direct/Plain/Hosted PayPal Button and Affiliate Plugin Integration

Basically, include the cookie value in the “custom” field of the PayPal button then configure aMember so it passes the IPN to the following URL after a payment:

http://www.your-domain-name.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-affiliate-platform/api/ipn_handler.php

You will have to change “www.your-domain-name.com” with the actual domain name.

Let me know how you go.

Hi,

aMember don’t use a straight paypal button, it create an account for the buyer first and then redirect to paypal with the info of the buyer already in.

I’m not a coder, but I think we need to creat some kind of plugin for amember that integrate with WP Affiliate Platform. That is the way they do it with JRox JAm, iDev, PAP 4 and other affiliate software that integrate with aMember.

Maybe with the HTTP Get or Post options.

Can you please post a link to their “Affiliate Integration Plugin Creation” documentation please? This way I will be able to take a look and see what I can come up with.
