Hello,
In price comparison websites, YOU (administrator) make money either by affiliate commission that is by referring visitor to the merchant website or by charging merchants subscription fees for listing their products or by CPC. Our site will support both methods and it is the sole decision of admin on how he wants to setup his charge policy for merchants.
How your affiliate area will look like:
In this area your affiliates login. There they can see the commissions they have earned by sending visitors/buyers to your website and can also see their payment history, can update how they want to be paid.
In this the area they can also download the CSV or XML datafeeds of your website products so that they can promote them and redirect traffic to your website.
So actually there will be five panels , i.e. Front end, Merchant area (online store area), Administrator area,Affiliate area, user area.
I would appreciate it if you could provide a sample of the XML datafeed. Also, please specify the API source.
Would appreciate it if you could provide the jpg versions of the layout so that we can look at the design structure.
We are having a vast exposure across analysis, coding, testing and debugging. Proficient in working on VB.Net, C#, JavaScript, ASP.Net, AJAX, ExtJs, MOSS 2007, SQL server 2003, SQL server 2005, Access.
Looking forward to discuss further,
Best Regards,
