Allow a partner/supplier to log in and manage orders. Ability to create affiliate links.What are partners? Under "Partners" you can create affiliate, supplier partners or pickup locations. Note: The partner function is included at no extra cost in Abicart Plus and Pro. Partner types Affiliate partner The partner links to your store via a link and thus generates traffic to your store. If the customer has come to the store via the partner's link, the partner receives a percentage of the order value of the items (not of the shipping fee). Distribution is set for the entire range or for each product or product group separately. All affiliate partners receive the same commission. So you can not give different commissions to different affiliate partners. Seller partner Your store is the retailer of the partner's items and you receive compensation on sales. Which partner delivers a product is set for the entire range or for each product or product group separately. You can set different commissions for each supplier partner. Pick-up location The partner delivers the ordered goods to the customer and a separate order notification is sent to the partner. The customer in the shop can choose the pick-up location when placing the order. Create all pick-up locations as different partners, e.g. Gothenburg, Stockholm and Copenhagen. Create new partner Start by creating a new partner. Go to Partner -> Partner -> click on "New Partner". Fields to fill in Company/Organization: Enter a name for the partner. Partner type: Select the type of partner to be created (supplier, affiliate partner or pickup location). Contact person: Enter the contact details of the partner. Login (suppliers): Enable login if you want the partner to be able to log in and see the orders they deliver or have received commission/royalty for. Suppliers can also edit the delivery status of their sub-orders/packages. Authority (suppliers): Check if you want the partner to see full order information (item price, shipping, etc.). Email address for orders (suppliers): Here, order confirmations are sent to the partner. Payment: A text field for the store's own notes. Caution: This must be a valid email address as any login details will be sent there. Specify supplier generally Under Partner -> Suppliers, you can specify that a partner of type supplier should be the supplier for all items in the store. This partner will then receive an order confirmation with information about the articles on every order. You set the partner to be a supplier when you create the partner.
