Question

If you have any questions, concerns or ideas, post them here or in our forum at vBulletin Plugin Suite.

Here is a live example of the store running on a default vbulletin theme: http://www.highaltitudeimports.com/product.php

This site has no category filters, so you can search for any product. The plugin does allow you to restrict the products to a specific set of categories, or even stores so you can create a very narrow niche shop if you prefer.

[bosanci28]

Hmm, Now i am really confuse...

So we get 70%, he gets 30% , how about the company that the specific product is theirs , what they make? Or am i missing something?

[RichieBoy67]

It is like an affiliation. You get a commission from each sale and they get 30%.

Hi, great question. Viglink and Skimlinks both do link affiliation. In other words, they turn ordinary links to retailers into affiliate links. We do that as well for almost 50,000 retailers: http://prosperent.com/merchants/all

Where we differ is that we also offer products. We take product data from about 2,000 retailers and aggregate it into a big product search engine. That's the shop portion of this plugin. Your forum users can go to your shop and search 50,000,000 product from some of the top retailers out there. When someone purchases one of the products, you earn a commission.

If you already use skimlinks or Viglink, you can still use this plugin to add a store to your forum.
