Hi.

I am looking for a programmer or webmaster proficient in PHP who can create an affiliate tracking software for my real estate site. I want to offer 2-tier affiliate program with lifetime commission. I also want other merchants to be able to plug their products into my system.

There will be three sides to this software: The merchant side, the affiliates' side, and the admin backend.

For affiliates: The software should be able to . . .

1. Assign affiliates tracking IDs after they register
2. Track source of sale & credit affiliates accordingly: tracking will be done using cookies, affiliate ID and IP address
3. Assign commission (pre-determined by merchants) to referring affiliate
4. Have a report module where affiliates can view sales, url responsible for the sale (this will aid their promotional efforts), payment history (previous payments by month, year etc)
5. Promotion page - Promotional banners, text etc
6. Free ebooks library page - Should have ability to change all links in the ebooks to affiliates' link so affiliates can get credit when someone buys a product through the links in the ebook

Merchant side:

Merchants should be able to . . .

1. Get login details in their email after paying the account opening fee
2. Login and upload product details
3. Set first tier and 2nd tier commission
4. View sales, payment history etc
5. Search for sales over a period (e.g. sales for January) etc

Admin Backend

Should have ability to . . .

1. Generate reports e.g sales report, affiliate commission, sub-affiliate commission report, profit details etc
2. Mass mail merchants
3. Mass mail affiliates
4. Mass mail Customers
5. Customer database
5. Suspend account
6. Approve products to appear in store (so affiliates can promote them)
7. Remove products from store
8. Add sales manually (for clients who pay offline)

This software will be pretty intensive and should have ability to extract sales data from feedback loop from a credit card processing company and insert this information into appropriate database of the software.

Developing this from scratch will take a hell of time. Consequently, it makes sense to adapt one of the open source software around for this purpose.

The software should be hacker-proof.
