Enables lifetime referrals - which means that your affiliate refers
customer only once, and gets commissions for every his future order,
even if customer deletes cookies, etc.
Requirements:
in order to make it work, you have to pass some identifier that uniquely identifies the customer (for example his email) in the
data1 parameter in the sale/lead tracking code.
For example:
<script id="pap_x2s6df8d" src="http://www.yoursite.com/affiliate/scripts/salejs.php" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var sale = PostAffTracker.createSale();
sale.setTotalCost('120.50');
sale.setOrderID('ORD_12345XYZ');
sale.setProductID('test product');
sale.setData1('some@customeremail.com');PostAffTracker.register();
</script>
How it works:
- If customer is referred by the affiliate for the first time, the plugin will store the relation between customer (his identifier) and affiliate into the database
- Next time, when the same customer is referred (with the same identifier), it will find the affiliate who originally referred him, and give him commission
- If no affiliate is found, the process goes normally, so it tries to recognize affiliate from cookie, etc.
This plugin is part of Post Affiiate Pro release.
