feezioxiii Posted August 7, 2018 Report Posted August 7, 2018 I know this has been posted quite long time ago and I'm here to bump it up Personally, I think affiliates feature is essential for a billing system as that helps increasing sales, finding new customers. Blesta truly need it own affiliate system. I know there is https://www.idevdirect.com/ plugin but look: 1. Its license cost 2x more than Blesta alone. 2. Their interface is buggy, no way that would match with Blesta. (main one) 3. Missing proper functions such as automatic payment for affiliates, recurring commission, sales tracking for affiliates, ... 4. Blesta won't be comparable with WHMCS if we miss this features, I know plenty of providers that went for WHMCS just because of their sale tracking + affiliate system. I think this should marked as high priority instead mukesh 1 Quote
Paul Posted August 7, 2018 Report Posted August 7, 2018 We are revisiting this, and I plan to spend some time to more fully spec out the task. No eta, but we know this needs to get done. It's not going to be as fully featured as some standalone affiliate systems, but it should get the job done. Michael 1 Quote
domaingood Posted August 7, 2018 Report Posted August 7, 2018 Sorry, Paul to say that I have checked you added the featured task Domain affiliate and other modules. but no ETA.I have wait 2 years for domain management. Still no ETA we move back again WH--S. Time is money. try to understand this.WH--CS now more active and faster development but they hike price growing and backed by Cp..el Be more fast development. I still love blesta that,s why I'm telling that. mukesh and Lampard 2 Quote

Paul Posted August 10, 2018 Report Posted August 10, 2018 Yes, there's plenty for us to do, but I wouldn't give whimps that much credit. They changed their entire business model to maximize profits with their license pricing, scheme, and particularly market connect. They are turning their customers into resellers of theirs. Maybe it's evil genius, or maybe cPanel finally needs a return on their money. Either way, we have been adding a lot of things, particularly integrations. We have more work to do, but Blesta is used by more and more people every day. Not a day goes by that I don't personally help someone move away from our competitor. President Trump talks about trade deficits.. if we are looking at deficits, it's that far more people are migrating to Blesta than away from it. WebhostingNZ.com 1 Quote

Yes i agree about that, Blesta should think about making collaboration with those companies at-least, if you guys can have something like cPanel collaborated, i am pretty sure that this would put more interest into customer. activa 1 Quote

Those tasks are currently private, but will be made public closer to release. The Affiliate system is in active development, and it is integrated with the Order Manager. It will be able to be enabled or disabled through a new core feature that allows individual plugin actions to be disabled or enabled. I hope that makes sense. New tasks (many) related to Affiliate, old task closed as a result. Affiliate system in development. Michael and qba82 2 Quote

Instead of just a single payout would be great if there would be an option to allow "Partner Program - Recurring Commission" Example of A use case. We have developers who don't want to have a reseller account, but they always refer their clients to us and always handles their systems/websites. These we would like to keep on paying them on the services renewal of their referrals . Quote
