Hi I am looking for an online e-commerce site service or a script that i can open a shop which i can create/run a multi tier affiliate program. I think i have found volusion.com but do you any other solutions? Or anyone supplies this service? Can someone help me please? I want a shopping site with 1 or 2 products but must have an affiliate program. Waiting for your replies. Regards
The only problem with volusion.com is you are going to pay a boat-load of money to them over time...that's one reason why I eventually left them. I was paying $39.95 a month for a 100 product cart. That's $479.40 a year. Of course, you only need the smallest cart at $19.95 a month, but that is still $239.40 a year. if you are not sure about your project, go with them. It is a very good service. If you plan to be in this for the long haul and if you have the cash up front, buy your own cart software with built-in affiliate program or buy a good cart and integrate iDev Affiliate. I use Pinnacle Cart and iDev. Pinnacle partners with iDev. If you buy iDev, Pinnacle will give you $100 off their cart. Total final cost $596. Pinnacle is a bit pricey for some, but it is a stable, multi-featured cart with an excellent track record and reputation. A good alternative is SunShop. I think that cart goes for about $249. It integrates seemlessly with iDev. Jim
What's wrong with 2checkout? You may also try that one recommended by paypalsucks.com as an alternative to paypal.
As far as shopping cart scripts go, Zen Cart is among the best. I don't believe there is a built-in affiliate feature, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were a plug-in out there for it.
I specialize in this type of thing with several of my clients at travsolutions.com. We don't have any specific packages as we try to tailor it to whatever our clients need. Feel free to contact us if you are interested.
