Do processing companies provide shopping carts and affiliate program tools?
 

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 :thumbsup

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?

:helpme 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. :) (Would anyone believe I am asking for a friend? :1orglaugh )

These guys are coo.

CCnow was very good ( they stopped adult).

Professionnal and decent people.

Fully customisable shopping cart is at http://oscommerce.com

:thumbsup

Thanks guys... :thumbsup


anyone have affiliate program info for non-adult? Spam me with recommendations :)

CCnow:

How do I use affiliate programs with CCNow?

CCNow is compatible with most affiliate tracking systems, such as ClickTrade, AffiliateShop, and Commission Junction. If you have joined an affiliate tracking service, you can use the "Settings & Options" screen to specify the HTML codes we should use to link your site to that service.

Our software will automatically insert the codes into the "Thank You" page for your account.

The URL which is used for the "Thank You" page will be one of:

http://www.ccnow.com/cgi-local/checkout.cgi

https://www.ccnow.com/cgi-local/checkout.cgi


BTW, I have no ties with them aside from the fact that they dids treat me well and politely for all the period I was with them ( better than paysystems in my experience).

2checkout seems good to ( I used them to buy stuff) but I no nothing of their system.

:2 cents:

Cool, thank you :)

Good morning

I believe there are a couple of small payment processors which have affiliate programs built into their back-end. Howver, they charge exorbitant rates because of the headaches associated with a chargeback... Instead of dealing with two parties (consumer & merchant), there is now the added affiliate who will want to know why he lost his 10 bucks. We have an agreement that allows us to include an affiliate system but it is being included as part of our huge software overhaul scheduled for 2004 sometime... In the meantime, we are able to integrate with most affiliate programs, if not all, and I would assume most CC processors are in the same boat.

As for shopping carts, they are usually provided...go with a processor that DOES provide one.

P.S. I can be your friend...want to play on the monkey bars?

That's a lot of useful info. Thank you :) Do you have any recommendations for an affiliate set up? It's non adult so I'm not worried about chargebacks *as* much :winkwink:

I never liked the monkey bars, but I'll meet you on the swings :1orglaugh

Is it morning already? :Oh crap shhh it's still the middle of the night :1orglaugh

www.Envisionext.com If you need any development work or a shopping cart in this matter contact me on the info provided.

:helpme

FF...can I call you that?

I will compromise...swings are fine...you ever try to loop yourself all the way around?...my efforts have ended only in disasters.

I would reccomend CJ.com (commission junction) as they are the authorities on affiliate programs. However, you can probably get a much more cost-effective solution and I would say somebody on here knows something so I am going to make a post and see what we get...

If you want to email me, go ahead, that way I won't take 2 hours to respond.

netbilling.com works with some program that costs $20-30 a month that lets you do all that contact mitch and im sure he can take care of you.

Furios I dont know how much features you need but I use Xcart
