How to use the IMS affiliate program

Objective: If you want visitors from multiple other websites (affiliate websites) to access your Website, process an order or to do a booking and to credit this sale to your affiliates, then the integrated ‘Affiliate program’ in IMS software will reach your objectives.

Step by step set up procedure:
Customer ->Affiliate page -> Your Website->order credited to Affiliate.

First – the affiliate accesses your Web site and fills in the registration form.
Second – the affiliate receives a script to copy into a web page and saves it as “affiliate.html” or “order.html”. The script creates a link with a banner or with a text link. Part of that link, an ID number identifies the affiliate.
Third – when a visitor accesses the affiliate’s Web site and clicks on the link on the “order.html” page, the visitor gets to your Web site to place an order or to do a booking. This transaction is then credited to the affiliate account.
Four – the affiliate has access to your Web site with his username and password to view his monthly commission report.
Five – you as Webmaster can access all affiliates reports.

Concierge ->internal sales link -> Your Website -> order credited to Concierge

First – the concierge (affiliate) accesses your Web site and fills in the registration form.
