We are looking for help to add a pre-written custom associate tracking URL to our payment "thanks" page.
The tracking URL we have needs to be put onto our "thanks" page (.php) so when a successful sale has taken place, the variables from our payment page are auto inserted into the tracking URL itself to complete the transaction and credit the associate responsible for generating the sale.
No code needs to be written. It's already done. You just need to insert it into the page and paste in the right variables.
Here is a sample of the tracking code:
<img src="%3CA%20href=" http:="" xxxxxxx.xxx="" sale_amount="" transaction_id="" />[login to view URL]">
You can see the variables in CAPS in the example URL. We'll give you the variable code to merge in there, in place of the text showing in CAPS.
We will provide you with a copy of our thanks page along with the tracking code above and an associate link you can use to "force test" as to whether or not the sale was successfully posted. (You click the test link, then load the thanks page and it should credit the sale if it's been configured correctly.)
It's ideal for 3 quick tests to take place that track sales with different amounts and invoice numbers to show it's been posted correctly by force testing the system.
We will give you access to the associate area for the test ID so you can login and check to make sure the sales are posted.
Ideal Requirements:
Anyone with previous associate program software experience.
It's great if you know how cookie tracking works, passing variables through (the variables are already there, you just copy them and paste them into the appropriate area) and anything else related to associate programs.
It's great if you are available via MSN or ICQ for quick questions or troubleshooting if necessary.
While this project is not that difficult we have part "b" that is more complex, to be posted here on RAC after completion of this one.
Please also quote any relevant experience with associate software that you may have had in the past, if any.
Thanks!
## Deliverables
1) Implement the tracking code into our thanks page with the correct variables.
2) Once the code is in place, conduct a couple tests of the system until sales have been posted to the test account correctly.
3) Report any errors encountered to us from the testing.
