I don't know where to begin to search for this.



I have the domain that uses a 'negotiation' JavaScript code that asks the user to enter what they feel is a fair price for the product. Please see http://www.listbuilderemail.com to see what I'm talking about.



I want to know, if I make the index page the affiliate link that affiliates will send traffic to, will the affiliate be credited when the user enters a price (at the bottom of the page) then goes to the next page to buy the product?



Or, does the affiliate not get the credit for the sale because the link gets broken when the user enters a price and goes onto the order page?



Essentially, does the affiliate link pass a variable or tracker thingy from page to page?



This is CRITICAL for me to know and I would appreciate any help.

Clicking an Affiliate's Hop Link sets a cookie in the buyer's browser that expires in 6 months, so any product that buyer purchases from you during the life of that cookie would credit the referring Affiliate with their share of that sale, even if the buyer never views any thank-you page.



This only works if you are using E-junkie purchase buttons (either Cart or Buy Now) to sell your products, since the Affiliate tracking and earnings calculation are performed in our purchase system. This Forum discussion goes into more detail about how our Affiliate features work in practice:

I didn't see any negotiation scripting in action at the site you linked, but to allow flexible pricing without simply asking the buyer to edit their price in our shopping cart, you might be interested in using the &amount= parameter documented on this page:
