The Referral ID for test affiliate “pmccleary” is “pmccleary” which is explains why the same test affiliate got credit for both the teir 1 and tier 2 sales.

I created another test affliate on another computer and ran a real sale through and this time it went through as one sale and the affliliate got credit for only the tier one sale as they should. I went into the “Manage Affiliates” area for this new test affiliate and it says the referral id is “pmccleary”. It may because I did log into the affiliate center previously on this computer with the “pmccleary” test id. Would that make “pmccleary” the affiliate?

Thinking back, I did create the “pmccleary” test affiliate one time, deleted it and then created it again before running the first real test. Would it be possible that the cookies were still on the computer from the first time I created it and then stayed there after I deleted it the first time? This might explain why it is the referral id. Not sure if this scenario is feasible but the good thing is that it worked during the second test on a different computer.

I already got my first real affiliate and I checked her affiliate id and it is blank.

The actual sale amount was $17.95. In the affliate center for the test affiliate, it shows a sales amount of $35.90. The commission amounts are $4.49 and .90 (20% and 5%).

I cannot find anywhere in the affliate center or in the plugin area where “Referrer ID” and “Transaction ID” are located???

In the Sales/Comm area of the plugin, the affiliate id’s for both commissions is pmccleary which is the test affiliate id.
