Affiliate Link Redirect ?

Does the affiliate link first have to hit the main domain that Affiliates Enterprise is installed on first get plant the cookie ? here is a scenario

First cookie record click
http://www.website.com?go=2

Then right away send them to a landing page which is anothe rinstance of wordpress installed in a folder
http://www.website.com/lp

The landing page would have a buy button that would bring them back to the main domain for the sale.

How would you set that up

Thank you

    Thank you Antonio

    Question

    What would the best way to redirect them automatically be ?

    Scenario append out affiliate &go=2 to end of redirect page? … would we have a redirect page the land on that send them to the landing page ( http://www.website.com/lp ) right away

    example:
    http://www.website.com/redirectpagetolp/?go=2

    Would that work?
    Is there another way to do this ?

      Hi,
      for example:
      – Your shop website with affiliates plugin (A): http://www.myshop.com
      – Your other website (B): http://www.website.com/lp

      Your affiliate will share: http://www.myshop.com/redirectpagetolp/?go=2
      This page will redirect to B. You don’t need aditional parameters (when A es loaded, affiliates plugin creates a cookie with the affiliate information). So
      http://www.myshop.com/redirectpagetolp/?go=2 –> redirect to —> http://www.website.com/lp
      Website B has a buttom with url http://www.myshop.com (doesn’t need the parameter) so when user click the button goes to webA (a cookie already exists with go=2 information)

      All in all you only need redirect to http://www.website.com/lp and then to http://www.myshop.com when click.

      cheers

    Hi,
    your scenario should work fine.
    When the user visit: http://www.website.com?go=2 the affiliate’s cookie is created.
    Then he goes to http://www.website.com/lp and goes back to http://www.website.com, your ecommerce system will get the cookie correctly.
    Yes, this should work fine.
    cheers
