Using Magento Commerce as an affiliate site.
Posted by Danpereda on Aug 5, 2009 in Blogging, Business, Programming, Tech, Webmaster | 31 commentsI am metformin hcl 850 mg tablets now running 3 Sites with Magento. Two are Traditional Shopping cart sites, but the my newest one had to be an affiliate style site.
What I mean by an affiliate site is that when you click on the buy it now button you are taken to a 3rd party website to complete the sale. Magento does not do this out of the box, it took a long sleepless night for me to figure out how to do this. Not too many people are willing to share how they did this either. I have to thank Platinumtackle.com for their help.
I will be releasing the template that I created to do this very soon. I need to test it some more and finish building my new site.
Please Leave a comment if you are interested in this template.
Just to say I’m looking for exactly the same thing so just an encourage to let you know that this template is wanted and needed.
I’ve been scouring Magento Connect for a solution and it looks like I’ve found it.
Can’t wait till you release the code and instructions on how to set this up.
Much appreciated

Hi Danpereda,
Thank you for your willingness to share.

Please can you let me know when it is complete. I would love to check it out.
Thanks.
I did that in OS Commerce but I am looking to move to Magento for its flexibility. I would be interested in your template.
Dan, I’m definitely interested in this. Please let me know when you have an update!
Thanks.

Would love to see it
I’m interested!!
I would also love to see your template. Please drop a mail when you release it. Thanks!
Has anyone found a solution for this? I’m also looking to do the same thing.
Thanks.
I am equally interested in helping to create this code. I would, in fact, like to have some products purchasable from myself while others would be affiliate links.
I am also interested
Hello Dan
This is just what i’m looking for,
Could you please let me know when it’s up a running and where i can get it from.
Great work

I am software developer and I have been trying to set up something similar and have been trying to decide what software to use. I would be interested in your solution as well as helping to enhance or provide development assistance.
Dan, give me a shout. I want to discuss some more changes I have made and also want to discuss your template you are creating.
Hi Dan, i am coming around since i want to integrate affiliate, too.
my plan so far: having affiliate and own products in one shop. this way the shop merely becomes kind of product search database.
product with deeplink show no basket but “shop now” link which leads to affiliate partnershop. each klick needs to be counted.
products without deeplink can be taken to basket normally magento way.
i would appreciate your templates as a basis to start off.
thanks for contributing
Been looking for something like this, got anymore info about the magento affiliate template?
Hi Dan, count me in on the interested list! Looking at the amount of comments I think you would make many of us happy with a follow-up post
Hi Dan, did you get round to publishing the code for magento and aff linking?
Would be interested in having a look-see
I never published the Code, I will release it some day when I have time to clean it up
Yes please, share the solution.
Dan:
How can I get this code?
Do you charge anything for it? or is it free of cost?
i took a break from magento for a little while. I will work on it very soon
Assessing the cash flow is another important element within the organization strategy format, so as to sustain a normal cash flow to meet the important capital needs. Probability of monetary crisis and also the ways of crisis management should be mentioned in the structure. The company strategy should consist from the marketing plans and strategy leading to the expansion in the organization.
through advice in internet marketing i boost sales for my customers and also started specializing in Magento and how to set up Affiliate marketing in it. With your template i could easily make my own affiliate shop! If your are willing to share it with me, i would be gratefull.
Thanks for the Comment, I do want to work on this, but i have other pressing things on my plate. I Can get you someone if your really serious about it.
Hi Dan,
I’m really serious in trying to transform Magento into an affiliate datafeed site. Could you please get someone for me as it’s really something I’m trying to accomplish before the year is out.
Dan,
Just release the template already. Get on with it or shut up about it!
Hi Dan
Is your solution already released? If so, where can I find it?
Just curious if you ever released the magento for affiliate template. Please let me know
nope, I never did, Magento updates were faster than I could move. I have been thinking about looking at it again, but I have 1000 other projects I am working on. You can see the site in action at http://sleekoil.com/
