Conversion Tracking with oscommerce

    Is there any way to track conversion from an oscommerce shop. What I'm looking for is a program that you can assign different dollar values (eg. profit amount) to so that you can see how much profit each incoming link is earning. Can I do this in analytics, do I need another 3rd party solution or add on, or is there no solution currently available? Thanks in advance

    If it were me I'd create a new field in your order tables called "inbound_link" and when someone comes to your site via a link it adds the link to your SESSION variables. You can do what you like with the link e.g. extract the root domain and leave out anything after the forward slash but once someone buys a product just add the SESSION variable to the database.

    I'm not sure if there's a contribution for this yet but if you ask or search over at forums.oscommerce.com there will be someone who should be able to answer that question. Let me know if you need the modification built and I'll give you a quote for it. :)
