This addon is available for free from the public downloads section. It adds integration with the 3rd party software Post Affiliate Pro 4.
The addon adds what Post Affiliate Pro 4 refers to as "clicks tracking" to each page in the software, and "sales tracking". Click tracking will keep track of any time a user clicks on an "affiliates" link to get to your site, so that the visitor is linked to a specific affiliate (affiliates are set up in Post Affiliate Pro software panel). The sales tracking tracks any sales made by those visitors for any listing fees, subscription fees, etc., basically any purchases between a user and the site itself, and allows the affiliate that sent the user to your site to receive a commission for such sales. Note that it does not track seller to buyer transactions. All you need to do, is install and enable the addon, then enter a few settings, and the addon does the rest (see below for full instructions).
With this addon, there is no need to edit any templates to add integration, the addon does it all for you! In fact, if you have previously added integration yourself, you will need to remove that integration1) before you use this addon, or it can cause conflicts with what the addon does.
Note that Post Affiliate Pro 4 is 3rd party affiliate software, and is not associated with, owned by, or affiliated with Geodesic Solutions, LLC in any way. The addon itself is created and maintained by Geodesic Solutions, and serves to integrate the Geo software with the 3rd party Post Affiliate Pro software.
Follow the steps below to install the addon and make it start reporting clicks and sales tracking to your Post Affiliate Pro 4 (PAP4) software.
