This Extra requires Commerce by Modmore.
This small module adds an extra page to the Commerce dashboard with a grid to keep partner company information. Each partner is assigned a referral token which they can then use on the end of a product URL to send customers to your shop.
For example if a customer is assigned a token called partnertoken
, they would add it on the end of your product URL with ?ref=partnertoken
.
As you can see here:
https://example.com/shop/product/product.html?ref=partnertoken
When a customer is referred to a product in your shop and adds that product to the shopping cart, the module will check if a partner exists for that token. If so, the token is added to the order.
The manager user can then see if this is a referral order. A referral section is added to the order detail page in Commerce. The partner company information is displayed so they can take whatever action they've agreed to.
Install
- Install the package and then activate the module in the configuration tab of the Commerce dashboard.
Usage
- In the Commerce dashboard, click on the Referrals tab and then select Referrers in the subnav.
- Add details of a partner company that will refer customers to your products.
- One of the details will be a 'token'. The referrer then adds this token on the end of the URL and their referral will then be recorded.
System Setting
- commerce_referrals.tab_position - allows you to set the position in the Commerce nav menu that the referrals tab is added. Value should be an integer.
