I am looking to upgrade to the Business version of Hika Shop. I want people who sell my product offline to be able to refer people to my site and I pay them a commission or something like that. I want them to be able to go verify that the person who they referred did register and purchase my product. I want the referring person or partner to have a section where they can view their earnings from commissions. Most of my traffic does not come from online marketers as of yet? I want the average person off the street to be able to tell someone to buy from me while I give them commission. Does the business upgrade of this software support this feature?

With the Affiliate feature of the Business edition, your partners will be able to see their referred sales and the commissions for each sale (and the global earnings).
The system works like that:
The partner needs to give your URL with an additional parameter which includes his partner id. That way, when the users go on your website, they are known by the system as coming from that partner. So instead of giving the URL www.mywebsite.com , your partners would give the URL www.mywebsite.com/?partner_id=XX where XX would be the id of the partner.

You can see an example of the affiliate program interface for your partners on that link of our demo website: www.demo.hikashop.com/index.php?option=c...ow&Itemid=95&lang=en

Hello,

I am migrating a magento site to Joomla / Hikashop. Regarding the affiliate program, except of the banner and the url link sharing, the magento site has also the following possibilities:

- the affiliate partner can share a coupon and get a commission
- the affiliate partner is able to track the trafic resources list.

Are these doable with hikashop?

Hi,

There is no system to get commissions out of the coupons with the affiliate system.
There is a way, for users being vendors with HikaMarket multivendor to be assigned as vendor of the order if a coupon is used and is configured to be for that vendor, and then have the commission on the sale calculated for them as vendor commission (but separated from the affiliate system commissions).

I don't know what you mean by "track the trafic resources list". If you mean having statistics on the clicks/sales for the affiliate partner available to him on the frontend, then yes, there is a setting for that.
