Question
We are a publisher of education product information. We refer visitors to the respective merchants' product pages. Now, we'd like to introduce to these merchants a commission/revenue sharing model for our referrals that result in purchases at their points of sale. We need a business solution. Ideally, the merchant should only have to enroll and not add any code to their pages. Any ideas, nudges or tips are appreciated!
Answer
The merchants would likely have to employ referral tracking on their end. The only other way to do is it to give them a "tracking pixel" that they would put on their thank you/order confirmation page, that will fire on each order you refer, and let you know that you have referred a sale, how much was the sale, and how much your commission is (assuming that was decided before hand).
