Affiliate Marketing Tycoon

#1 (permalink)

I am currently running a tell-a-friend feature on my website but am not able to track any sales that are generated from leads. I am looking to enhance the feature by being able to track sales and issue rewards to customers based on reffered sales. Similar to an affiliate program but much simpler.. Any ideas?

The way I do it on my site is like this:

When a member refers a friend, their email and their friends email get put into a database table. Then when the friend registers I check the table to see if the email they are using was referred by somebody else. If so I give credit.

Can you track a referrals purchase instead of registration?

yea, you could. Instead of doing the check when somebody registers, just do it when a purchase is made instead.
