Can anyone tell me how shopping carts, processing and affiliate programs would work for a NON-adult product? I've never set up anything like this so I am wondering how it works. Any info would be appreciated
Do processors provide a shopping cart for your site, which lead to the payment processing?
Also, if I wanted to create an affiliate program for the product, how do I go about doing that? Say I have a product that's $20 and I want to pay affiliates $10/sale... Do processing companies set this all up for affiliates to check their stats and also give payouts to the affiliates or would I do that on my own etc?
What are the steps to take?
Disclaimer: Yeah I know I sound straight off the n00b bus, but I've never set anything like this up, so I am just looking to find out how it all works.
