Affiliate Program

[Gnathon]

Hi guys!

I'm planning on implementing an affiliate program through Miva Merchant 5.5 here in the near future. What is your favorite affiliate program manager fully compatible with Miva 5.5? Should I use a third party or is the one supplied sufficient?

I very much appreciate your advice.

Thanks in advance,
Nathan

If you want a full featured affiliate system, with multiple levels of affiliates, and a system that can keep track of referrals between visits, then look no further than Viking Coder's Affiliate Manager (http://www.vikingcoders.com/store/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=VC&Product_Code=BROK_AFFILIATES5). The built in affiliate manager is, unfortunately, too simplistic for most uses, and doesn't keep track of referrals if they leave the site and come back to it later. This doesn't make money for affiliates, which in turn doesn't encourage them to send you more traffic, which means fewer sales for you. It's a circle of life.
