External Links [2] - Building Affiliate Sites

[Laylah]

Following discussions here regarding external links and AllAffiliatePro software I wondered if it is possible to create an external link to Actinic which will go direct to the checkout page with the chosen product pre-selected.

AllAffiliatePro will read and action calls to Actinic Scripts and I can see how it might be possible to go direct to the checkout using http://YOUR_URL/cgi-bin/os000004.pl?ACTION=Start but have no idea how to create a preloaded 'shopping cart'

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hi Tony

Please check the following knowledgebase article

This is the only way you can do it at present

Hi thanks for that but . . .

1. It does not go to the check out page. Your suggestion merely records the product and quantity into shopping cart.

Is there a way to do this and go straight to the check out page?

2. The method is not dynamic i.e. if we were to change the website the SID value would change and all Affiliate links to the product would be 'dead'

Using http://your.URL/cgi-bin/ss00000x.pl?...2345&NOLOGIN=1 is a dynamic link which would take you direct to the specified product (where ever it is on the site) . . . is there no other way to pre-load the cart using a dynamic solution?

Hi there

I'm afraid this is not possible, talking clients straight to the checkout

and what about a dynamic link rather than static?

Hi there

Again it is not possible to do a dynamic link within the actinic software.

Kind Regards
