    Not sure if this is the correct forum for this question, but I hope so...

    Does amember track/pay affiliate referral commissions across multiple products?

    Say visitor clicks on an affiliate's link for product-A on the affiliate's site, but when arrives to my site the visitor declines product-A, but purchases product-B instead. Will the referring affiliate still get credit for this purchase, despite the buyer not being specifically directed to this product's link by the affiliate?

    If not how can I set amember to work that way? I have a few products and want to make sure affiliate gets credit no matter which of the products are purchased.

    Thanks

    The affiliate tracking cookie is site wide, not based on any one product. The commission being paid is dependant on if yo have an affiliate payment set for a specific product.

    So the answer to your question is yes, they will still earn a commission on the other product as long as that product has a commission set.

    Thank you David for the reply. Each has a commission set. Am glad Alex made commissions site wide. Is so much easier to manage that way. And seems to make the most sense.

    thx
