Integrating with Affiliate Window

[the_bfb]

Hi all - very basic question about Affiliate Window but can't find related posts to the recent version of their tracking software in the forums.

Using V7 MU of Actinic

I have put the AWin tracking code at the bottom of ActOrder04

however what do I put as the variables in the 4 variables below?

// Set your transaction parameters
var aw_mid = 'MY AWIN REF NUMBER';
var aw_sale = '';
var aw_extra = '';
var aw_parts = '';
var aw_test = '';

We want to pay a set amount of commission on net of VAT and P+P sales.

Thanks

Phil

Hi Phil,

It is possible to add markup to the Actinic's receipt page in order to support an affiliate program. The markup is generally specified by the affiliate program, but a typical example would be:

<IMG SRC="https://www.server.com/log.cgi?amount=[order-amount-here]&orderid=[order-id-here]">

Translating this into a Actinic ready line, you would get:

<IMG SRC="https://www.server.com/log.cgi?amount=NumericOrderTotal&orderid= TheOrderNumber">

The variables available to an affiliate program of this nature are:
TheOrderNumber - order number.

FormattedOrderTotalHTML - the order total formatted in the appropriate currency and encoded for HTML display e.g. £55.57

FormattedOrderTotalCGI - the order total formatted in the appropriate currency and encoded for CGI e.g. %a355%2e57

ActinicOrderTotal - the order total formatted in the Actinic internal format (integer number in currency base unit) e.g. 5557

NumericOrderTotal - the order total partially formatted in the appropriate currency. This value include decimal and thousand separators, but leaves off the currency symbol. e.g. 55.57

NumericOrderTotalCGI - the order total partially formatted in the appropriate currency and encoded for CGI. This value include decimal and thousand separators, but leaves off the currency symbol. e.g. 55%2e57

TextOrderTotal – The order total with currency symbols and a decimal point, with no encoding. e.g. £55.57

This is from the Advanced Users Guide. A search on the forum for 'Affiliate Windows' should provide a lot of threads dealing with this topic.

Kind regards,
