Hi,

The logic behind this: -

a) When someone has clicks on your banner on your affiliates website, bring that user to a page where you add a log for it with some status set to no. Plus create on cookie for the Affiliate ID
b) Now redirect the user to the shopping page of your website.
c) On the checkut page check if the cookie exists it means that the user placing the order came through the affiliates website and using the value of the affiliate ID update the status to yes after the payment has been made.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
