KevHopwood Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I have created a website that lists a lot of offers from my affiliate partners (such as affiliate Window, tradedouble and mobpartner). I believe tat in order for me to get more users and more uptake, I need to offer an incentive program. I've been reading about callback URLs and was wondering if there was a way that I can integrate such a program to my site. What the user sees: The user logs on to my website and clicks one of my links to visit one of my partners sites. They then buy / download / sign up or whatever is required for the terms of commission. They then come back to my website and see that they have points available so they can spend them on rewards. What I need to happen to do this: I provide my affiliate link as usual and then once the user clicks and up takes the terms then I get commission in my affiliate site. This is currently what happens but what I need is a system to for my affiliate sites to send the callbacks to which then rewards the user. Can anyone provide me on the means on setting this up? I know many sites do such a thing like cashback sites but how do I do it for myself? Please please please help. I have been working on this for ages.

AbraCadaver Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 That would be dependent on the affiliate partners site. They would need to pass something back to your site indicating that the user satisfied the conditions and whatever other info you need. These affiliate partners may provide instructions/API for doing this.

PaulRyan Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 In my experience (which is limited I might add), I've seen that affiliates send data via POST to a specific file on your server, you set the link up with them on their system usually. The file they POST to will include all the data you need to process whether or not the user completed the offer successfully. It's up to you to develop the code to process that data. If you start writing some code, then we can help out, but we won't just write code for you, as you won't learn anything. If you don't want to write the code yourself, then you should head over to the Freelance Section of the site.
