Would you put the customer name code in the $prepared_url string or in the line above it? Or both?

Thanks.

“”When a customer buys product 1, I want them to be returned to the registration page” – Did you use the URL of registration page in the eStore’s “Return URL” settings field?””

Yes I tried it on one, but it only had the Free in the membership box, so this won’t work. I’m looking for a way to let the customer know what is happening next. I just created a page now telling them to check their email and respond to the link in there, BUT what happens if they don’t get the email? How can they register themselves? Or can they?

I’ll respond to your email.

Thanks.

“but we recommend uploading them to the downloads directory of the eStore plugin”

Is there some reason you recommend uploading to that directory as opposed to any other?

Thanks.

OK, I think it seems to be working Thanks. Now of course I am going to ask for more

Any way to get the customer name and the product name that they ordered? I know in DLGuard iDev added:

&idev_option_1=%%customername%%&idev_option_3=%%productname%%

So would replacing the %%customername%% and %%productname%% variables with yours send back that information?

Thanks for all this help by the way, I really appreciate it.

I’ll send them a support request, but in the other post I indicated I had found a custom cart integration page at the link below. Don’t know if that helps or not.:

http://www.idevkb.com/questions/12/Custom+Cart+Integration

there is a pdf document at the bottom of the page. Section 2 talks about creating an API call:

____________________________________

If you would prefer to call our commission processing file from an API file or backend processing file of some sort, you can do so using a CURL snippet. The only difference is you will also need to pass in the customer’s IP address.

<?PHP

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, “http://www.site.com/idevaffiliate/sale.php?profile=72198&idev_saleamt=XXX&idev_ordernum=YYY&ip_address=IPA&#8221;);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

?>

As you can see, the URL being called is constructed the same as a generic tracking pixel only we’re adding the ip_address variable as well. Replace the following in this string.

– XXX needs replaced with the actual variable that contains the sub/total amount.

– YYY needs replaced with the actual variable that contains the order number.

– IPA needs replaced with the customer’s IP address.

Or Pixel tracking:

Pay-Per-Sale (Percentage) Processing Note:

In order for iDevAffiliate to calculate the payout, you’ll need to have the sale amount present on your sale confirmation page. This is the minimum requirement. All the other variables including the order number are optional. This can come from your merchant account, shopping cart or any other custom setup. You can usually find these variable names in the support forum of the product you’re integrating with.

Choose one of the following options and place your code. You must alter all =XXX entries with the actual variable name your cart or merchant account uses. Example: =${variable_name} This will look different for all carts and merchant accounts. Check their support forums for proper syntax.

Code:

I found a custom cart integration page at:

[http://www.idevkb.com/questions/12/Custom+Cart+Integration]

there is a pdf document at the bottom of the page. It even gives you an email address to submit your customization to them if you would like them to add your cart into their built in integration. Could get you more sales

They have a knowledge base but all their instructions are moved right into the program. Here is what they say about wp ecommerce:

1. Edit this file: /wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce/transaction_result_functions.php.

2. Find the following code which already exists in the file.

if(isset($_GET)) {

3. Cut/Paste the following code into the file (above the code above).

“WP eStore can be integrated with iDev Affiliate but it requires manual tweak.”

Any chance you could give me the code to do this?

Thanks.

MikeM

[MikeM]

It is a complete separate domain and ONLY used as a squeeze page. When the customer signs up to the autoresponder, the confirmation page is on the 2nd domain where they get their free software with an upgrade option to the full version. So I don’t think the affiliate plugin would work, because the only thing they do on the 1st domain is sign up.

Could you give me the manual tweak for iDev Affiliate, because if your plugin won’t work, I will probably purchase it for this. Either iDev Affiliate or Post Affiliate Pro. They both seem good, but iDev is a bit cheaper for the base model.

Thanks for all the help.

1 domain will be a squeeze page where they sign up to the list, then they are directed to the 2nd domain to download. Emails will go out on a schedule promoting the more robust product from the 2nd domain. The theory is that affiliates send people to get the free software and then can earn commission if they buy the more full featured product from 2nd domain.

Will wp estore work with the iDev Affiliate program?

[MikeM]

What if I used a redirect link to drop the cookie and then they go to the other site and then back again to make a purchase?

[MikeM]

OK, thanks for the effort. I can always make individual download pages and add the form code there and tell them if they want updates to subscribe. Other wise if 1 autoresponder will work for the complete site, I can use this method.

Thanks again.

After having thought about this for a while, it would be nice to create a list per product, because sometimes I sell numerous products from 1 site, and if there is an update, then I could notify only the purchasers of that product. I don’t know how hard this would be to accomplish, but for autoresponder plus, the product would need to send an email to the list in the Autoresponder settings as if it came from the buyer, using their email and their name. EG: product 1 list is setup as product1@mydomain.com. So when the product is purchased by Jane with email jane@jane.com, a blank email from Jane with email jane@jane.com would be sent to product1@mydomain.com and the email autoresponder script does the rest.

Is this at all possible?

Thanks.

MikeM

[MikeM]

Seems to work. I had to change:

$autoresponderID = $retrieved_product->aweber_list;

To:

$autoresponderID = 24; (or whatever list ID I am signing them up to)

And I had to add the email address of the list in the product settings – Autoresponder Settings.

Thanks.

MikeM

[MikeM]

Thanks. I’ll give this a try tonight. The arp3-formcapture.pl is a part of their script used to capture info from the sign in form so it is already on the server.
