I wanted to know if it's possible to have hidden forms on the signup form and get that sent to you? like <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" VALUE="<? $something; ?>">... Or something to that effect? It's for a refferal program.

Ok, when you're using 2CheckOut.com to proccess your orders, is there anyway you can customize the form that your cusomers fill out?

What I want to do is this.. I'm setting up a referal program and whenever someone refers someone to me and they sign up, they get a certain ammount of money, but the only way to know that they DID refer someone to signup is if I could include a hidden form on the 2CheckOut.com order page, I just want to know if this is possible? Or if there's another way of achieving this?

The hidden form would be filled out by a cookie or something set on the person's computer when they got refered to me using a unique link.



Still don't understand? Ok, it's like this:

affiliate's refering link: blah.com/affiliate.php?id=123

123 is that affiliate's unique ID, when affiliate.php?id=123 is called it checks the database for more information on affiliate 123 and sends it out in a cookie, then on the 2checkout.com form it's put in there to show that this person was refered by that affiliate.

You could use the merchant_order_id for pre-defined plans or cart_order_id if you use the shopping cart feature. Just set the id you want in this variable before passing control to 2CheckOut. After the order is completed 2CheckOut will pass this variable back to you and should give you the functionality you need.

Has anyone else been having problems with their daily sales reports? I've been getting about 4-6 signups a day and I am receiving NO notification. About 2 weeks ago it was working fine. I tried contacting their support, but of course they will take about 2-3 weeks before they get back to me. (like usual)

Been having the same problem with the daily sales reports. I do however receive the individual notification messages when someone signs up.

I setup a form script to where the person types in their name, email and domain name, that gets processed and emailed to me then they goto the 2checkout form to type in their CC info, etc.

Same here. I haven't even been receiving any payment confirmations for orders received today, although I can of course still verify orders via the web interface (so it didn't affect new orders at all!) :)

This has actually happened in the past at least twice, and I'm hoping it will get fixed once and for all. It's just a little bit annoying.

I considered that but even with that they might not always go all the way and acually pay, so it would mess me up if someone filled out the form on my site, then the referer got credit, then went to 2CheckOut.com and decided not to go through with it.

The oldest email in my queue is from 9:50 pm est, today.

The support mail is coming directly to me.
If you haven't received a response, please submit another email.

There was an issue with the sales reports that was corrected late last week.

We are also having a problem that AOL & Hotmail, in their infinate wisdom, have blocked any emails from our Auto Mailer. This includes announcements and sales reports.

If you are using either of these services (and that would shock me), input an email address in your Account Details that does not get redirected thru these servers.

Well I went to this page but I still don't understand how this will get a affiliate ID from a cookie once the order has been done and e-mail it to me..
