Tracking Website Referrals- Affiliate Links

Tracking Website Referrals- Affiliate Links

by Todd Thornton -
Number of replies: 1
I sell courses and have had a few requests recently for affiliate links where the referrer would be paid a small commission. Is anyone trying to do this now using a Moodle delivery system? If so, how? I know there are specific shopping cart solutions that have affiliate tracking/reporting built in that I've used them in the past, but don't remember seeing anything about this within a Moodle environment.

Thanks,
Todd

Yes I second that! We're also looking into this at the moment.

Any information/advice anyone has about this would be much appreciated! smile

The only systems which mention moodle which i can find are Course Merchant integrated with iDevAffiliate - see point 5 onwards at the following link:

"You can use iDevAffiliate to build and promote a large and sophisticated distributed sales channel to sell your e-learning Moodle courses – just as described above. Course Merchant also has its own in-built affiliate capability, not quite as sophisticated as iDevAffiliate perhaps, but still pretty effective" (source: http://www.eshopsfables.com/?p=40)

However, we currently just use paypal for online payments
