Quick Affiliate Question

[jjackson]

I've searched High and Low for specific information about affiliate contributions and haven't been able to find anything.

 

I own and operate an oscommerce powered medical supplies website and have several sales reps around the country. My reps get a percentage of the profits for customers that they refer to the site that make purchases. The reps don't have their own website, they have business cards with my website on it and just hand out these cards to prospective customers. I've tried adding the salespeoples names to the customer sign up page but have found that most customers just randomly select a salesrep from the list, preventing the true referring salesrep from getting the credit. Is there a way that I can better setup this affiliate program so that my reps get their due credit. I'm not currently using any of the affiliate contribs as they don't directly suit my needs.

 

thanks in advance.

if you make a little site for each rep they can put that address on their card

this could be a little info page about them.then put a link in this page to your site passing the affiliate_id

or if you have a first time buyer promo use that info and have a diffrent# to each sales rep

so when the customer puts his coupon code you know what salesperson he has

Or you can add the oscaffiliate contribution. I have done this and it works great.
