Creating image tags with variables

[Howard Small]

I would like to display the product total and the order number of each order
on my Thank You screen, so that my affiliate program can pick up the values.
I think I've got the variables but I'm unsure about the delimiters I should
use?"

The image tag I have now is:

https://www.mydomainpath.etc.etc.asp?a=<ProductTotal>&c=<CartID>

where the variables are ProductTotal and CartID, and the delimiters are < >.

It works when I just use hard coded numbers (such as a=10&c=1000), but
doesn't when I use variable names. They are not being replaced by actual
values. Any help would be appreciated.

In order to replace variable names with values you would need to use the
OrderAPI feature in ShopSite Pro. You would basically write a small perl
executable or something that would take the variables passed by the
OrderAPI and print the ones you want to the browser in the appropriate
format.

I know one associate company already has a program developed for
ShopSite merchants to use with the Order API that does basically what
you are asking for, and that company is Commission Junction.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll do some research on the OrderAPI feature.
