I understand that PowerSeek forwards people to my order processor when payment time comes.
How can I pass on details to my order processor so that I can identify premium links that has been submitted and paid for.
Answer:
You can pass on details of the link that they have entered by going to the Control Panel >> Plugins >> Premium Link Manager >> Premium Link Settings >> In the setting reading: 'Premium Link Order Form URL: (URL to your order processor)' you can place link details inside your order processor's URL to send these details to your order processor.
Many order processor's will support the passing on of custom variables with their order form URL. You can add the following variables within the 'Premium Link Order Form URL: (URL to your order processor)':
!!title!!
This will be replaced by the title of the link.
This will be replaced by the description of the link.
This will be replaced by the keywords of the link.
http://
This will be replaced by the URL of the link.
This will be replaced by the email address of the link.
This will be replaced by the contact name of the link.
Example:
Let's say that your order processor supports a custom variable that can be passed on in their order form URL called: custom
Let's also say their order form URL looks like this: http://www.somewhere.com/cgi/order.cgi?productid=1234
To pass on the URL of the link submitted when loading their order form you could change the order form URL to the following:
http://www.somewhere.com/cgi/order.cgi?productid=1234&custom=http:// This URL will then be entered inside the 'Premium Link Order Form URL: (URL to your order processor)': setting.
When payment time comes the user will be re-directed to: http://www.somewhere.com/cgi/order.cgi?productid=1234&custom=http:// and the http:// variable will be replaced by the link URL he/she entered when submitting his/her premium link.
