Affy Payments Update

[Guard Dog]

Hey guys,

There is a new feature now to the AGD Payments Calendar. Payments posted via the calendar will now post in the AGD forums Wooohooo!

You will now see threads in this forum area titled:

Affiliate Payments - April 2009

Or something similar to that. These threads are generated by the auto-poster but you CAN reply there if you want to do so. It is not limited to auto-posting from the calendar The calendar will 'anonymize' the information and also feed into the database for more information down the road.


Thanks!

Cool -- it's the best of both worlds!

Woot Andy, superb feature )))

Yeah thanks Andy - I like it because its a nice calendar for me to check who paid me very easily (in addition to reporting to the group) !

I was thinking maybe "pages" would be better than forum posts (as I see the robot spitting out new payment entries now)

It seems like you could package that information in really neat charts that you could easily reference your favorite program, and see what's happening - if everyones payment was delayed or its just you, etc...

Chart (1) by date... who paid the first, second, third, etc (overall for any affiliate)

Chart (2) which program has issued the most payments first,second,third, etc for the month..

Chart (3) Running tally, kind of like what the forum thread is doing right now....

just brain storming ... pick and chose (or delete all)

Anyway its a great feature, thanks!

And now you know what is coming

All that stuff and more will come from the stats backend soon. I have another project being completed which will be the partial driver for the stats pages. That's why it is not quite out yet.

But - I assure you, that is coming!

Thank you Andy and your developer for correcting the issue I had with entering payments into the calendar. I'm glad I could be of some help!

Hi Pat,

Hopefully this will help:

Say you were paid by Rewards Affiliates via Quicktender on January 6th.

First, click the QUICKTENDER link at the top of the page. It will now be highlighted a darker shade of brown.

Next, look for the box labeled "Search Programs." Start typing Rewards Affiliates into that box. The list below the box will change, and you'll see Rewards Affiliates appear in a much shorter list.

Now, click and hold on the Rewards Affiliates link, and then drag that over to the calendar area. Keep holding down the mouse button until you're hovering over the date that Rewards Affiliates paid you (in this example, January 6). Then, lift up the mouse button. The payment should then fall into place on January 6.

When you look at the calendar now, you should see "Rewards Affiliates" written on the calendar, on January 6.

If you accidentally placed the payment on the wrong date, you can drag it away to the trash. Like before, you would click and hold, drag to the trash, and then lift up the mouse button when you're over the trash can.

Let us know if you need more help!
