Hello,

I want to start an affiliate program for my customers. Where can I download the affiliate plugin?

Hi,

You see here on the page comparing the three versions of HikaShop that the affiliate feature comes with the Business Edition. So, you may want to consider upgrading .

I have already upgraded. I have multi vendor market.

HikaMarket Multi-Vendor is a separate extension to e.g. let others sell through your web site/shop. HikaShop is necessary for it, but there are three different versions of HikaShop, one the free and basic "Starter" (which you seem to be using), then an "Essential" with more features, and finally "Business" with most features on board. The latter is the one coming with the affiliate plugin/functionality.

Perhaps you want to look at the link I already gave you to compare the three HikaShop versions. Here it is again: www.hikashop.com/extensions/compare-versions.html

I am sorry, I just paid 150Euro and you want me to spend another 99 just to get the affiliate? I really think that that is unfair don't you agree?

See, I don't want you to do or leave anything. I'm a user just like you. And yes, I do think it is fair if users pay - or pay more - for getting more. Same as with everything else in the world, incl cars, houses, vacations, and probably your products or services, too.

So much in general. As for HikaShop, I'm sure you won't find a better value in (Joomla) E-commerce software. Compare with other "packages" which appear free or cheap at first glance but come "naked", then asking you to pay like $20 or more for a single payment or shipping method and other truly basic modules, eventually adding up to several hundreds of $$$... all of which comes included with HikaShop in one version or another. Not to mention that it's not "another 99 just to get the affiliate" - there's quite a bit more in the Business Edition.

And here you even have a 30-days money-back guarantee. Where else?

Well right now I feel ripped of and just like in real life I will get my 30 day money back guarantee. I have used all and I mean all packages: Vitruemart, Oscommerce, Jomshopping, even the Ace shop that I could never get to work because it was so buggy and I bought hika because of the multi vendor that I need.
So I have plenty of experience and I can tell you this hika is the most complicated of all packages and I haven't even started the multi vendor yet but I start to wonder if it's worth it because if my vendors don't understand how to set up a store, it will only be more work for me.

All packages that I have used up until now are more price friendly and just easy to use than hika, I can tell you that. I really don't know if this is worth it. Joomshopping is very basic but it has everything you need, is very stable, it's only missing the multi vendor what I was looking for. I have a few more days to think about this decision and get my money back.
