Re: Pay Per Click Amount Error

On this page that explains the Pay-per-click module, http://docs.itthinx.com/document/affiliates-pro/setup/settings/integrations/pay-per-click/, it states that I can set an amount per click less than $1:

“Commissions can be paid to affiliates based on clicks or visits to their affiliate links. For example, the system can be set up to pay affiliates $0.70 for every 100 Daily Visits.”

But when I try to set up your example on my site, I get an error message that I can’t use this number, only 0 and 1.

Here’s a video grab of the message: http://screencast.com/t/bZfbFKba9EKe

I want to know how to get this straight, as this was the reason I purchased your affiliate program.

I’m trying to pay my affiliates .003 cents per click.

Thanks!

    I followed your instructions to a T as you can see in this video: http://screencast.com/t/p9XDWD0hG7z

    We’re getting closer because the referral edit screen is now displaying 5 decimal points but it still doesn’t it, it reverts back to 0.00000 for some reason.

    But we’re getting close.

    Hi Brennen,

    Thank you for your patience!
    There is also a small change in the database that needs to take place in order for the filter to work.
    So, first things first you should take a backup of your database and then execute a query.
    The query to be executed is this but if you are not familiar with mySQL, please let me know.
    ALTER TABLE `wp_aff_referrals` MODIFY `amount` DECIMAL (18,5)
    but if you use your own table prefix, you should use it instead of wp_.
    i.e. if your table prefix is gt_ your query should be
    ALTER TABLE `gt_aff_referrals` MODIFY `amount` DECIMAL (18,5)
    If you are not familiar with mySQL, please let me know

    After executing the query put the following filter in your theme’s functions.php file.
    function gt_change_decimals ( $decimals ) {
    $decimals = 5;
    return $decimals;
    }
    add_filter( 'affiliates_referral_amount_decimals', 'gt_change_decimals' );
    It is better to put the snippet above in your child theme’s functions.php in order to keep the contents after a Theme update.

    After that you should be ok to use the configuration you mentioned about granting 0.001 usd per click.

    Kind regards
    George

    Hi Brennen,

    There is a filter where you can set the amount of decimals for referral amounts.
    I’m checking its functionality to see if it fits with your configuration and i will let you know.
    Thank you for being patient.

    Kind regards,
    George
