Affiliate program questions

[Gary]

I am interested in getting feedback from sites using Shopsites affiliate
features. Does it do everything potential affiliates want? If it is
lacking any needed features, are there good 3rd party ways to include those
features?

Thanks

Gary

Hi Andy,

We have been using shopsite for many years now on one of our stores.

The affiliate module in shopsite is no good at all. It works, but most
affiliates want real time stats, click, etc, etc.

it's really simple to use 3rd party software with shopsite. via Api.

Best affiliate software out there for only 200.00 is, Ultimate
Affiliate. www.groundbreak.com

Tons of features, fast, etc. Just a great piece of work there. We use
this software on like 14 stores.

So go buy that, then contact Loren who is on the group here, and you
just need the simple script to tie groundbreak and shopsite in.

Well worth the costs.

thanks

Todd

My only complaint is the lack of online reporting for affiliates. Thats an
area where the software needs improvement.

I've been working with it for a few years, and actually had people at Business
Week talk to me about it, and my views were published.. I think its good, but
could be better from the affiliates point of view.

I have not explored 3rd party stuff for affiliate management. Shopsite is not
perfect but it is good. And my experience has been that they are always
willing to listen and improve the software; it is a trait that I find very
impressive having dealt with AutoDesk and Microsoft a lot in the past.

I would suggest that you post here a blue sky of what you want. Shopsites
management and programmers have been very responsive, although I will say not
perfect. You will like doing business with them.
