How to track when Associate-driven costomers order our (free

[A Stewart]

Hi

Is there any way to get ShopSite to track when
an *associate-driven* customer orders a (free) catalogue?

We currently use a simple HTML form to take
orders. (I think it uses the standard formmail script)

If you are not using ShopSite to take the order, then you cannot get
ShopSite to track the order, sorry.

Although, a cgi programmer could probably write a redirect cgi that also
sets a cookie, and you could use that as your Associate URL in ShopSite,
so that when the shopper comes through the Associate link, it will not
only record the Associate name in the ShopSite shopping cart file, but
also set your own associate cookie, which could then be read either by a
modified formmail, or if your form that collects the customer info for
the free catalogue were generated by a cgi (or some other dynamic method
that can read a cookie), then that cgi could get the cookie value and
make it a hidden input value so that it would be submitted via formmail.

So it is separate from ShopSite and requires custom programming, but can
be done.
