Can I create a discount code for an affiliate

[devlogic]

Hello all,



I have an ebook product that I'd like to offer a discount for at an upcoming conference. However, I'd like (if possible) for the sales made with that discount code to reward a particular affiliate. How can I do that?

For a transaction to be connected to an affiliate, the buyer needs to click on the affiliate's hop link, on their website to go to your site to purchase the product, or the affiliate's direct link to purchase the product there.



The best route for this is to give the discount code to your potential buyers at the conference and include the URL where the affiliate's link is, so this way the buyer will be going through the steps necessary to connect the transaction to the affiliate. There is not a way to connect a discount to a specific affiliate.

Hi guys! What Devlogic said is something that I would really like to be able to do as well.



I suppose I will just have to manually keep track of how many sales are made using each affiliate's discount code and then I can add that on to the amount that I owe them.



It's just too bad that the process can't be automated, since it seems like it wouldn't be that hard to do. If I could go into the affiliate manager and change the settings to something like "all sales made using the discount code 'FranksFriends' should credit Frank his typical commission amount." Just sayin... it would be helpful :)



As a side note, I really love E-Junkie. Thanks for putting together a quality, easy-to-use product!

We've got that suggestion on our wishlist for Development to consider implementing as a possible new feature at some point in the future. First we need to finish building our new Admin interface, so we'll be able to modify that as needed to support new features and functionality, as our current Admin has become too complex and crufty to modify anymore without breaking it in unpredictable ways.

Thanks for letting me know. Is there a way to be notified if this feature becomes available?
