    Dear Support team,

    I have an affiliate partner of mine, who runs short-term rental apartments hundreds of them, to work with him, I would need to provide him individual links for all the apartments separately, however, the payouts will go to a single Affiliate user only whom the partner mentioned earlier.

    Registering all 300 times separately just doesn’t make sense as you have to have all different emails as well and you can’t track payouts in all separate accounts. As an alternative using coupon codes created 300 of them manually will show him which apartment made the sale at the end of the day, but again it has plenty of downsides.

    I’m truly hoping that I have missed the support answer in the other support tickets and or the documentation, but I can’t see the way as of now.

    Kindly guide me, how to handle a partner that requires to track individual sales, yet enjoy one dashboard for all his sales.

    Looking forward for your asnwer

    Thanks!

    Hey @davgila,

    Thank you for reaching out! Can you please let me know why you would need separate affiliate links for each apartment? Technically speaking, tracking is done via the referral link’s tracking data and is independent on the URL.

    In essence, any link from your website that contains the referral tracking data is a referral link. You can read more about how referral tracking works here: https://slicewp.com/docs/referral-tracking/

    If you can offer additional information about what your affiliate is missing, I may be able to help you out.

    Thank you and best wishes,

    Mihai

    The above mentioned partner runs nearly 300 apartments, he rent them for the owners.
    On behalf of the owners he places my QR codes in the apartments, however he needs to know which aparment made the sale in order to pay comission for the apartment owners separately.

    The apartment owners wont be registering individually in to my affiliate program, the whole point is that my partner who is managing those apartments should see all the sales in his affiliate dashboard, where he will be able to identify the different sales with the different URLs broken down to each apartments.

    Straight to the point:
    I would need multiple Affiliate Referral Link pointing to ONE affiliate partner, which later can be reviewed by the affiliate partner which link made the sale.

    Hey @davgila,

    Thank you for the extra details! As mentioned earlier, any link from your website that contains the affiliate’s referral tracking data is a referral link.

    So, you can have:

    1. https://yoursite.com/apartment-1/?aff=21
    2. https://yoursite.com/apartment-2/?aff=21
    3. https://yoursite.com/apartment-3/?aff=21

    All of the above contain the same affiliate’s referral tracking data, more precisely “?aff=21”. If a user visits any of the above links, the affiliate with ID 21 will be rewarded a commission regardless of the product (apartment in your case) that has been purchased.

    So, from a technical standpoint, your affiliate can create a referral link for each apartment from their affiliate account, by using the “Generate Affiliate Link” feature.

    However, it is true that the affiliate will not see any of the purchase details for the commissions they generate. This however is something that we’re working on and in a future update the items that have been purchase by the referred customer will show up for each new commission.

    Thank you and best wishes,

    Mihai

    “as mentioned earlier” any link contains the affiliate referral… That was clear from the very beginning that you can use other links not just the landing page.

    My goal is to give the affiliate partner an opportunity to track their sales individually, similar to multi level, however without registering multiple accounts, all sales tracked under one account with multiple affiliate referrals.

    I do appreciate that you are developing the plugin and it’s on the road map, can you suggest that it’s going to happen in the near future? Because this partner of mine would be the largest one, and without this feature I won’t be able to partner him.

    Because I have purchased the pro of your plugin version I prefer not to migrate to any other plugin, however at this stage I would need an alternative solution. Right now, the coupon code comes to mind as I can dedicate hundsres of codes to this partner will he be able to see on he’s dashboard which coupon code was in use when the purchase made? So at least it’s an alternative. Otherwise I’m opened to listen to any other alternative.

    Thank you for your assistance

    An alternative option came to my mind:

    1. Individual coupons:
      As discussed with the coupon codes we might be able to identify the sales individually.
    2. Referrer URL:
      If the partner creates individual referral URLs from outside and upon converting I may be able to extract the data from SliceWP/visits/converted
    3. Landing URL:
      I doubt that this might be an option, however, theoretically let’s discuss it.
      If I create brand new links for each apartment added by the partner, then in the SliceWP/visits/converted I would be able to extract the Landing URLs from the conversions.

    As I can see none of them are really transparent to the details and definitely cant be automated nor visible at the partner dashboard.

    Could you suggest which one of these alternatives are the closest to the aim, or if I may have missed out on an option, please let me know.

    Looking forward to hear from you

    Thank you
