Hi,
I need an affiliate system for my site and both Virtue Affiliate and MultiTier looks nice. But what the difference between these two? I checked the demo from both but they look the same in the functions.

Which one should I buy?

Hello,

First thank you for your interest in our products.
Main difference between Virtue Affiliate and JMultiTier is that Virtue Affiliate works with VirtueMart, i mean you'll give commissions to affiliates for orders made by customers coming from affiliates banners ( 5 banner types supported: image, html code, simple link, product banners, category banners ), more exactly, you can give to your affiliates commission per sale. Note that using Virtue Affiliate you can give also commission per click in this case Virtuemart is not required. JMultiTier is just traffic based. You'll give commissions for traffic coming from affiliates, you are not able to give commission per purchase. Case you have more questions dont hesitate to write on this forum.

Best Regards,
Popa S. Alexandru

Hi alx,

thanks for the quick response. Virtue Affiliate seems to be right for me. I will order it in the next few days. smiling smiley
One qustion regarding languages. Can I add a language to Virtue Affiliate? My site will be in turkish so I need a turkish translation of Virtue Affiliate.

And do I have to use VirtueMart? I just want to use Virtue Affiliate alone. For every registered member on my joomla page, my affiliates should get a commission in %. Is this possible without using VirtueMart?

Hello,

When Virtue Affiliate is installed language files are copied to /administrator/language/en-EN/ directory ( Back-End language ) and /language/en-EN/ directory ( Front-End language ). Just copy en-GB.com_virtueaffiliate.ini and en-GB.com_virtueaffiliate.menu.ini from these directories to /administrator/language/tr-TR/ and /language/tr-TR/, make turkish translation and that's all you need to do.

Hi,
well that sounds good.

But again to my question above. Do I have to use VirtueMart to use VirtueAffiliate? VirtueMart is if you want to sell something. I dont want to sell something. I just want to give my affiliates some % commision if a user registeres on my joomla site.

JMultiTier looks to be the right for it. Am I wrong?

Example: To register on my joomla site you have to pay 5$ every month. If a user comes to my site using a affiliate link an registeres, the affiliate should become 30% commision. So 1,5$ every month.

This seems to be possible only with JMultiTier. Or?

Hello,

Unfortunately you can't reach your goals using Virtue Affiliate or JMultiTier cause Pay per Registration commisison available on JMultiTier only, refers to registration for an Affiliate Program not registration for a Joomla user account.

Hi,

so why should I refer new affiliate programs to my site then? How can affiliates make money?
Why should I refer hundreds of affiliates to my site if they cant make money?

Well affiliates can make money refering other affiliates. Is that all? Or is there any other opinion how they can make money?

Hi,
I looked alread to JMultiTier Demo and found this under Commissions:

Pay for partners brought Pay partner if he recruits another partner for you
Pay for registration Pay for each registration brought by your partner
Registration bonus Give a bonus for every n registrations brought by your partner

Are these both only applicable to affiliate registrations? Cause Pay for registration and Registration bonus sounds like you get paid for each registration on your page.
