Using SBI order anywhere and ShopSite associates

Postby alexkennedy » Thu Nov 20, 2008 4:05 am

Good day
I am trying to integrate SBI buy anywhere links with the ShopSite associate link.

Unfortunately it is all a little mystic to me (I’m the wrong side of 16). I have set up a very low cost product, so I can use it to verify that the system works.
I have two associates that want to sell my products (I have over 100 products) they would both like to do their own write ups, and just come to the my store for the check out and pay stage.
It appears to me that the SBI affiliate code only allows them into one page of my site. This would defeat the object of them writing their own copy.
I require to combine the two codes below to enable them to, do their own product write up, and add a button link to this write up, that will take a purchaser over to my shopping cart for payment.

Thanks in advance and hope.

Question 1
How do I adjust the individual ‘Buy Anywhere’ button code to enable the associate to place them anywhere on her website?

Here is the documentation for the Associates feature in your v7.1 version of ShopSite:

http://www.shopsite.com/help/7.1/en-US/sc/pro/add.associate.html

Here is what it says about additional landing pages for the same Associate:

When a customer clicks on the link, they arrive at your store at the URL you specified in the Default Landing Page field, above.

You can create additional links for this associate that go to different landing pages in your store. After creating the associate link, copy it and paste it into a text editor, and then add a URL parameter that points to a page in your store. For example, to create a link that sends customers to a tshirts.html page in your store, you would add a URL parameter similar to what is shown in bold here:

<a href="http://mystore.com/cgi-bin/ss/ref.cgi?name=Associate-Name
&storeid=Mystore-id&url=http://mystore.com/tshirts.html">[Your link text or graphic goes here]</a>

The value must be a full URL, including http://. You can create as many links for an associate as needed, each one specifying a different landing page in your store.
