You may have seen recent posts about when refunds are posted to your account, or how to make sure you’re not losing money on international orders. I’ve even written about how to help customers who want to change how often receive a recurring delivery to simplify the process.

As I thought about it, I realized that most of the tips and tricks I’ve come across with 1ShoppingCart with my clients relate to specific problems.

It seems to me that you guys should be asking the questions that you want to see answered here on this blog. I want to help you make your website as profitable as possible, but that only comes with knowing your specific concerns.

So, fire away and let me know what aspects of setting up an account or keeping it running are giving you a headache. Consider me aspirin that comes in several forms:

1. If it’s a quick question, you might see me pop into the comments to address it as soon as I get to reading it. You don’t have to worry about long waits.
2. For more involved processes, you may see the the answer as an upcoming blog post. We’ll be sure to let the asker know and credit them in the post!
3. If you need a full-scale consultation to make sure that your business can go from scratch to fully up-and-running, you want to contact me through this site so I can assess your needs.

Three choices and whichever you choose, you’ll get rapid responses about your 1ShoppingCart needs from a leader in the field.

Let’s get started: What do you want me to write about and answer just for you?

Do you want some of your affiliates to receive commissions on ALL sales of a particular product?

If so, you should know what an “affiliate parameter” is.

A great example of when this would come in handy is if you have a specific page on your website setup directly for a specific affiliate.

Let’s say ‘Affiliate A’ has a specific landing page on your site to drive his customers and his customers only.

Example: http://www.yoursite.com/AffiliateA.html.

This affiliate deserves all the credit for sales driven to this page, so you would add the “affiliate parameter” to the end of each product link on that page.

An affiliate parameter allows you to mark every single sale of a certain product as having been referred by a specific affiliate.

It’s easy to implement: just add it to the end of the product link.

The affiliate parameter is:

&afid=XXXXXX

where XXXXXX represents the ID of the affiliate you would like to give credit to.

Just take your existing product link and add the affiliate parameter to the end of it!

It’s that easy!
