Integrating
Ultimate Affiliate with Actinic Shopping Cart (actinic.com)
It
is possible to add markup to the Actinic Ecommerce's receipt
page in order to support an affiliate program.
You can find instructions on integrating
the Actinic products with affiliate programs in their
"Advanced User Guide version 6":

- Documentation page

- Direct link to file
Edit the Act_Order04.html file of the Actinic cart and
upload it back to your server. You will be adding either
an image tag or javascript tag to trigger commissions.
If the receipt page will be served from a secure url on
the SAME DOMAIN that you have the affiliate script installed
on you can use an image tag to trigger commissions:
<IMG
SRC="https://www.yourserver.com/cgi-bin/affiliates/sale.cgi?secret=SECRET&cashflow=NETQUOTEVAR:MYORDERTOTAL&goods=NETQUOTEVAR:THEORDERNUMBER">
or,
if you don't have your own secure certificate for your
domain you'll be using the Javascript popup method:
<script>
<!--
window.open('https://www.yourserver.com/cgi-bin/affiliates/sale.cgi?secret=SECRET&cashflow=NETQUOTEVAR:MYORDERTOTAL&goods=NETQUOTEVAR:THEORDERNUMBER','width=150,height=100');
-->
</script>
The NETQUOTEVARs available in the Actinic receipt page
are:
| NETQUOTEVAR:THEORDERNUMBER |
order
number (already existed in earlier versions) |
| NETQUOTEVAR:FORMATTEDORDERTOTALHTML |
the
order total formatted in the appropriate currency
and encoded for HTML display |
| NETQUOTEVAR:FORMATTEDORDERTOTALCGI |
the order total formatted in the appropriate currency
and encoded for CGI |
| NETQUOTEVAR:ACTINICORDERTOTAL |
the
order total formatted in the Actinic internal format
(integer number in currency base unit) |
| NETQUOTEVAR:NUMERICORDERTOTALCGI |
the
order total partially formatted in the appropriate
currency and encoded for CGI. This value include decimal
and thousand separators, but leaves off the currency
symbol. |
Here are some examples of code from the Actinic Guide.
If you put these items into your receipt page:
Total:
NETQUOTEVAR:FORMATTEDORDERTOTALHTML
<IMG SRC="https://www.server.com/log.cgi?amount=NETQUOTEVAR:ACTINICORDERTOTAL&orderid=NETQUOTEVAR:THEORDERNUMBER">
<IMG SRC="https://www.server.com/log.cgi?amount=NETQUOTEVAR:FORMATTEDORDERTOTALCGI&orderid=NETQUOTEVAR:THEORDERNUMBER">
<IMG SRC="https://www.server.com/log.cgi?amount=NETQUOTEVAR:NUMERICORDERTOTALCGI&orderid=NETQUOTEVAR:THEORDERNUMBER">
Here is what would be printed out:
Total:
£481.96
<IMG SRC="https://www.server.com/log.cgi?amount=48196&orderid=GM03GNBW900028">
<IMG SRC="https://www.server.com/log.cgi?amount=%a3481%2e96&orderid=GM03GNBW900028">
<IMG SRC="https://www.server.com/log.cgi?amount=481.96&orderid=GM03GNBW900028">
