Setting up comissions?

[deed]

Hello everyone,

 

I own a small web hosting company and I wanted to offer my sales staff a 25% recurring commission for each sale. Instead of http://www.mydomain.com/client/*?aff=008 which looks unprofessional, would it be possible to have them send customers to lets say mydomain.com/toddsales and have him obtain the commission. Having coupon code commissions would be great also.

 

If anyone has suggestions it would be greatly appreciated!

Can anyone offer help? I would like to setup my employees on a proper commission but I cannot do this without assistance.

 

 

Thanks.

You could use .htacces and mod_rewrite to have, for example, http://yourdomain.tld/something/###-Whatever (or any other format you setup) load http://yourdomain.tld/client/*?aff=###.

 

For example:

RewriteRule ^sales/([0-9]+) client/*?aff=$1 [QSA]

 

The above example would allow you to give http://yourdomain.tld/sales/1-Todd, but through the magic of mod_rewrite, http://yourdomain.tld/client/*?aff=1 would be loaded.

extend that further as ^sales/([0-9A-Za-z]+) client/*?admin=$1

and add a little code to * to lookup the admin variable in tbladmins, grab the email, and use teh email to find the client, and use that to get the affiliate id ...

Thanks everyone that sounds great.

 

Now would it be possible to set the affiliate payout delay to 30 days just for my employees? If so how? It would be nice since my employees would not do affiliate fraud and still have normal customers which have the possibility of affiliate fraud set for 90 days.
