The biggest issue you are going to find is the overhead; even with a relatively simple system this is generating on average one table hit (at least) for any traffic that may not even visit the sponsor.
You're going to see more of a stats counter from this than any actual useful data with the commonly-used systems as they are now; unless the member actually visits the tour or the checkout page, it's mostly just overhead unless you're tracking nested - and that's going to take some decent design.
The other issue will be finding some common ground between the external software and the checkout. You can use a shared UUID set from the pixeltracker which will be read/used for checkout, but that's still not horribly useful.
