Affiliate
Master
Setting up Affiliate Master is a fairly straight forward process. If you already
understand cgi scripts and server settings, setup will take roughly 30 minutes.
If you are
new to cgi scripts and server settings, don't worry, we have added many hot links that go
into further detail. Set up will take roughly an hour or so going through each
of the detail steps.
To get
started, start with step one and work your way through all steps. Within each step
we first give default install instructions (good place to start if you are new to cgi
scripts). Then, we give instructions on a few various ways of setting up the script.
- STEP ONE
- This is a very basic step.
Basically, this gets the server settings needed that will be used throughout the rest of
the setup process.
- STEP TWO
- Setup the display.cgi program.
This program does the actual on-the-fly replication of the webpages.
- STEP THREE
- Setup the placeorder.cgi. This
program takes in the order information, can validate credit card numbers, assign the
reseller id, computes commissions, and/or send emails. A bulk of the setup is
done here.
- STEP FOUR
- Setup the commissions.cgi.
This program is used by the resellers to view their current, previous, or selected month
of commissions. commissions.html is also discussed.
- STEP FIVE
- Setup the commissions_admin.cgi.
This program is used by admin to display the commissions for all resellers for the
current, previous, or selected month.
- STEP SIX
- Customize emails (touser.txt,
tosponsor.txt, and tosupport.txt)
-
- STEP SEVEN
- This step is the final step and will
explain how and where to upload the program and files to your server.
