How do I track users when I dont have a shop? (Affiliates Pro)

Hi
I’m running an affiliate program for investors. The idea is, that investor A gets a affiliate link and sends this to investor B. When investor B register by a form (from profile builder) and later invest, investor A get a procentage of the invested amount.

I only have the form to register that investor B was invited by investor A.

How can I arrange this using Affiliates Pro?

Thanks

    Hi Poul,

    You are welcome. 🙂
    Although our plugin doesn’t integrate with Profile Builder, you could use Gravity Forms in terms of a new investment application. If an investor wants to make a transfer, you could use a Gravity Form, for them το show their interest.
    ie something like “Would you like to make an investment? Fill your email address and we will give you further details on the requested transaction.”
    This form submission is a suitable action for our system. In conjunction with Affiliates Permanent, the referral will be recorded for the investor that referred the new investor.

    Hope it helps.

    Kind regards,
    George

    Hi George

    Thanks for your fast answer (that it self is greater than you even think).

    The investment is made by a banktransfer in an other environment, so I only have the sign-up form to link the investors A+B. I have seen positive use by gravity forms, and was hoping I could use a Profile Builder form as well??

    I’m using Affiliate Pro also using Woocommerce on another site so I’m, familiar with this. Its just not an option here!

    I’l look into the Affiliate Permament to see if this can help in any way.

    Thanks/Poul

    Hi Poul,

    How does the investment take place?
    In order for the system to record a referral, an action must take place in your site which is supported by Affiliates plugin. For example, if the investment is a purchase on WooCommerce, then you need to install Affiliates WooCommerce integration. If you need something more simple than setting up an eshop, like complete a payment through PayPal, then you should have a look at Affiliates PayPal integration.
    Both can be installed for free under Affiliates > Settings, Integrations tab.

    In order to assure that investor A will get his commission whenever investor B decides to invest, I think you will also need Affiliates Permanent premium addon. This addon will create a permanent relationship between the two investors which starts upon the referred registration of investor B. Furthermore, any future investments of investor B will credit referrals to investor A for lifetime.

    Kind regards,
    George
