Currently we don't have any built-in way to split payments to different PayPal accounts nor even to track a commission due to different parties on a product-specific basis.



However, we are planning to add a setting to our built-in affiliate system eventually, where you could define that a specific affiliate should earn a flat commission amount on each sale of a given product, so you could pay out those earnings with the rest of your affiliate commissions every month.



Meanwhile, you could simply download your E-junkie Transaction Log to a spreadsheet file, so you could easily calculate sales revenue for each product and determine revenue shares to pay to each supplier that way.



Your last question sounds like you may be interested in our Redirection feature:

Question I have then, now that we're in December 2011, is the checkbox



"Affiliate links will link directly to e-junkie cart"



A solution to doing split pay or revenue share? In other words if I paste the code I get from my partner, signed up an affiliate, on my site, will he get paid the set percentage?



Please advise.

Technically that could work, if you would have no other affiliates; this approach was covered here:

As you can see, there's a lot of complications, limitations and technicalities with that approach, which is why we do not officially support it, and you would still need to pay out commission earnings to this "affiliate" manually. It would be far simpler, and more accurate, reliable and flexible, to simply view your Transaction Log and calculate revenue for the relevant product(s) and date range that way.

Okay, okay, perfect, perfect!



So in that case could I get the flexibility by having a common link percentage AND then vary affiliate share by adjusting the affiliate share of affiliates individually?



In other words have everyone adjusted at 30% and then have my partner adjusted to 50% total.



Please advise, I have less then 10 affiliates and 1 partner.

My apologies for the double post. Okay i read that other thread and that does seem a little complicated.

My question then becomes, in the interest of making everything easy peazy, is there an ability to create a NEW e-junkie account specifically for the split sharing, have only ONE affiliate and still integrate with the same PayPal account.



I think this should be pretty reasonable. If so I want to move forward and you get more business

You could do that by adding a secondary email to your PayPal account to use as the PayPal Email for your second E-junkie account, but since you'd still need to pay out commissions manually, that still wouldn't be any less complicated than simply calculating revenue for a given product across a given date range and paying a share of that revenue back to your partner manually.



To do this, go to your Seller Admin > View/Download Transaction Log, select the relevant product and date range, and click View Log. That will show a summary counting the number of transactions, number of units sold, and total sale amount for that product during that date range, followed by a log of details for each order. You could simply take the calculated total sale amount and determine whatever percentage of that you should pay back to your partner, or take the units sold and multiply that by a per-unit amount to be paid back to your partner.

Surely, by now, there is a way for e-junkie to integrate the API system for adaptive payments from Paypal? This is something I feel should be close to be considered a standard by now with all the partnering via digital sales. I do love the fact we can track at end of month but it doesn't do any good fotr 50/50 partners who want to get paid simultaneously, so that one doesn't have to account for the other via 1099 at end of year. Hoping e-junkie is on the verge of making this a possibility.
