Edit Associate Information

Use this screen to change the settings for an associate.

Name

Enter a descriptive name for the associate. This may be an individual, but is more likely a Web site.

E-Mail

This is the associate's e-mail address. The associate receives e-mail every time a customer that they send to your store makes a purchase.

Commission

Enter the amount the associate should be paid for every customer they send to your store. The commission calculation is done when you view the sales report.

Check the percentage (%) button, to have the commission calculated as a percentage of the sale.

Check the currency button to have the Commission calculated as a flat rate per sale.

Store Page

Enter the URL of the page in your store that a customer will see when they follow a link to your store from an associate's site. The URL should be of the form:

http://www.mystore.com/products.html

Update Link

Click this button after changing any of the above information to cause ShopSite to recalculate the URL that the associate should use to link to your store. The code will look something like this:

<a href="http://mystore.com/cgi-bin/sb/ref.cgi?name=Associate-Name&storeid=Mystore-id">[Your link text or graphic goes here]</a>

Replace the bracketed area [Your link text or graphic goes here] with your own banner image or the text you want displayed on the associate site for the customer to click. The associate then pastes this HTML code in their site. When a customer clicks on the link, they arrive at your store at the URL you specified in the Redirect to this URL field above.
