Zen Cart and Jrox JAM Per Item Commissions
Per Item Commissions in Zen Cart and Jrox JAM
They said this couldn’t be done. I said bah!
I have it working on a zen cart install at leap movie
You will be able to setup individual commissions on each product, as either a flat per item commission or a percentage per item. Or if you have products that you don’t want to pay out on this can now be done as well.
Screen Capture Below from Zen Cart Admin for Product Setup
So if you sell 10 items at a flat rate of $5 per, the commission is going to be $50.00
And thats not all. The commission is based entirely on the products in the order. So if you have one product that pays a flat fee, and other items that are percentage based, it does the math on the whole order.
Item 1 x 4 @ $5.00 flat
Item 2 x 1 @ 10% ( price is $10.00 )
Item 3 x 5 @ $1.00 flat
== total commission
Item 1 $20.00
Item 2 $ 1.00
Item 3 $ 5.00
=============
Actual Commission is $26.00
Unlike the default jam config of a commission per order. This is much more appealing to the affiliate. and lot more fair , escpecially if you want to pay them for each item they sell. Not just if the item happens to be in the order.
Once I finalize the tutorial on how to do this. I will be selling the ebook, and custom php code for $49.95 with the option of having me install it for an additional $29.95 or in combination as one fee of $69.95.
If you are interested let me know.
I am also looking for a few beta testers to try this out. ( FREE ) Just post a comment.
Happy zen carting.
Note: This works when you have only one program setup in JAM. Also this only makes sense for stores with products, and not services sites that offer recurring commissions on subscriptions. Because now that the commission rates are setup in zencart all JAM does is keep track of them after they are calculated. All other features of JAM are left intact, paying affiliates, signup etc.
