Hi there have just signed up as well as paid for a licence. Cannot login to the stats area though just get this message Invalid password or non-existent affiliate/shop id

 

[Mark]

confirmed, I cannot login with your default login details, have you ever been able to login the swreg affiliate (possibly changed your PW already)?

I also noticed there was no affiliate tracking ID on your order, can you confirm that you clicked your own affiliate link before placing the order?

 

[Karl]

I could not get access with the default when I wanted to login the first time to change the password. I also clicked on my own link as mentioned in the instructions given above.

 

[Mark]

alright the problem here is your affiliate ID was not tracked, so your account with swreg affiliate system never created.

A couple questions to help me figure out what went bad:

did the visiolist cookie get created? any chance cookies were blocked or deleted?

to test: when you click on your affiliate link, then visit the "order" page, if you hover over the "buy now" button, the end of the destination URL should be a=youraffID

can you confirm the URL is updated on the order page to include you affiliate ID?

 

[Karl]

Hi I do not have my cookies blocked as a lot of the sites I use require this to be on. After clicking on my affiliate link if I hover over the buy now button the destination URL shows as http://visiolist.com/order. I have tried this on my machine at home and work both have the same result.

 

[Mark]

I think your hovering on the worng link, we are interesting in the actual purchase URL not the one taking you to the order page.

The destination url should be an swreg.org URL, for example: https://usd.swreg.org/cgi-bin/s.cgi?s=126045&p=126045-1&q=1&v=0&d=0&a=mark

I've tested with every circumstance I can think of but it tracks the affiliate correct in every case. Would be really nice to figure out what happened on your transaction.

 

[Karl]

Okay got you I was hovering over the order today on the home page and not the buy now button. I get https://usd.swreg.org/cgi-bin/s.cgi?s=126045&p=126045-1&q=1&v=0&d=0&a=karl now I had clicked on the link the day before and not the same day is it possible the cookie is not staying active long enough in that case.

 

[Mark]

yup that looks like its working, the affiliate cookie is set with no expiration time, the only way it can destroyed is by deleting cookies via the browser, OR clicking another affiliate link.

Your order had no affiliate ID attached, I have manually credited your account.

I'll keep an eye on this for future transactions, and I'll get it tested with a few more orders today. If swreg affiliate program is not 100% accurate, we'll move to another platform.

 

[Karl]

Thanks for that. I am using firefox 4 RC which may have had issues with the cookies.

 

[Mark]

good to know, I'll be sure and do some testing with FF4. thanks much for the feedback

 

[Kelly Ling]

Mark - I signed up this morning as an affiliate. Looking forward to checking out what you've done.

Just wondering if my affiliate signup worked for you. I just verified that my purchase DID NOT show up in my affiliate account.

[Mark]

Hi Kelly, I am showing order # U2094017101 was referred by affiliate "ladysham". I presume that was yours?

I am bumping your account access up to license holder now so you can access the latest file downloads.

Cheers

Affiliate testing offer is now over, thanks to all who participated and helped us dial in the affiliate system. I'll have some updates for the affiliates in the near future once the VisioList script has gone "Gold" and the supporting website is complete.
