I plan on starting my own online store and plan on using Oscommerce. What's the easiest way to do this?
I mean, is there a way for you to tell who referred the last buyer to your website? A plugin or affiliate system you can add to your site would be a lot better. This way, people can signup for your affiliate program and it will automatically manage itself.
There is a osCommerce affiliate program called osCAffiliate... search for it on http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions/ and I'm sure you'll find it. Although it isn't feature packed, it'll be good enough for affiliates to join. I'd recommend you check out Post Affiliate PRO though if you got a little money to spend. Check it out here... http://www.qualityunit.com/postaffiliatepro/ Its $100 for it, but trust me, it'll be well worth it. And it is setup for osCommerce as well I believe...
