Right now I am trying to tie the affiliate information into the order form that I have currently created with the API. Here is what is happening...

I use the redirect, first of all, to take me to the order form (which gives me the affiliate variable ID). That is all good.

(http://nwvllc.infusionsoft.com/aff.html?to=https://www.easysecurepay.com/ssl_tsg/order_form.php)

From here, I go through the process of creating a user, a blank invoice and adding the item. At that point, I either process a credit card or redirect to paypal.

So a couple of things are happening in the point of view of the affiliate stats...

As soon as the blank order is created, I see in there stats that the "Product Sold" column increases by one (before I perform any charge).

And second, when I do perform a charge (for the credit card it is an InvoiceService.chargeInvoice call...for the PayPal, it is an InvoiceService.addManualPayment), nothing seems to happen (other than the charge is registered with my Infusionsoft CRM). The affiliate stats show no "Orders" under the Link Tracking stats.

The Commission earnings do show pending, though.

Also, I don't quite know what the bypassCommissions - (boolean) variable for both calls is really doing (since toggling it doesn't seem to do much for me). I assume that if I want the charge credited, I would set the variable to FALSE.

Man, I am SO CLOSE with the order form, and this is really the last thing to make it work for me. Please help me understand the difference between the "Products Sold" and the "Orders" and what I might be doing wrong here.

Cheers...matt
