Then on your join page you add a script that if the user has a cookie with ccbill=1 it will show the CCBill options instead of the Epoch options.
If you set the cookie for 2 months or whatever, the CCBill form would still show (and the affiliate would still be credited), if the surfer came back a few weeks later by type-in.
This is the simplest option.
You could make it a bit more 'advanced' by also parsing along the CA variable through all the links on your site to the join page so that even if the surfer had cookies disabled it would still recognize that the surfer came through CCBill and still have the affiliate data available. |
What he said - we are doing it this way to manage affiliates under different processors and still credit everybody accurately.
One additional spin / tip:
--> this is not useful / required with ccbill, but with certain processors you may workaround any referral issues by placing, directly in the "paysite url" of your processor something like "mypaysite.com?processor=thisprocessor"
