Affiliate Detection
We have implemented an extension to our Affiliate program that uses RegNow as the transaction processor and detects any RegNow cookies regardless of when or how they were set to ensure that they are captured. This system streamlines affiliate order processing for both ourselves and our Affiliates and ensures that sales are fairly allocated.
How it Works
When a purchase page is accessed we check to see if the user has a RegNow affiliate cookie. If so we only show RegNow as a transaction processor. This allows us to use multiple processors without RegNow affiliates loosing sales regardless of when our how the order is placed.
We do this using php basically by redirecting to RegNow to check for the cookie and adding a rna (RegNow Affiliate) GET variable set to yes or no to the purchase page url. The redirect is unseen by the user. We then check to see the value of rna and if it is set to yes only RegNow transaction processing is available.
This check is achieved using the the RegNow affiliate check feature but instead of directing to different pages it directs to the same page but with an added variable which is either set as yes or no. A typical actual check url applied is:
You can see it in action at:
The first time you visit you will be redirected to RegNow and then back to the purchase page. If you do not have a RegNow cookie set for 13620 (that is us) or 4553 (our previous account) the back url will be:
- http://www.bizpep.com/purchase.html?rna=no
If you do have a RegNow cookie set for 13620 or 4553 the back url will be:
- http://www.bizpep.com/purchase.html?rna=yes
If you then select a Software Title; say Business Valuation Model Excel; and then click Order Now you will go directly to RegNow if the RegNow cookie is set and recieve other options if it is not set.
If you like first try it without a cookie (if you already have one you will need to clear it). Then you can set one by using this example url
once the cookie is set try it again by clicking http://www.bizpep.com/purchase.html selecting a Software Title and clicking Order Now.
The goal is to provide a flexible and fair system so that credit (in this case money) is given where credit is due while at the same time providing efficient avenues to maximize sales and profit for everyone.
