you'll specify here will receive a message for each order of
this specific Product.

Affiliate
commission
You can change the DEFAULT commission
scheme here, for this specific Product.
You can choose to apply an 1-tier or a 2-tier scheme.
You can define a commission on percentage, a flat amount or a
combination.
Example for 1-tier: 50% or $10
Example for 2-tier: 50%/10%
ATTENTION: If you define a % as commission on 2-tier the percentage is
calculated upon the 1-tier amount.So if you define a scheme like the
above, and the price of the Product is -say- $100, the affiliate on
1-tier will receive $50% (50% of $100) and on 2-tier $5 (10% of $50.)
Other examples:
30%/50% for a price of $100: 1-tier will get $30 and 2-tier will get
$15 (50% of 1-tier commission)
30%/100% for a price of $100: 1-tier will get $30 and 2-tier also $30
(100% of 1-tier commission)
$30%/50% for a price of $100: 1-tier will get $30 and 2-tier will get
$15 (50% of $30)
Charity Affiliate ID
The affiliate/s whose ID/s will be
included here (separated by comma) will get the amount you'll specify.
Include affiliate's ID (NOT THE LOGIN NAME,
BUT THE ID.) Example: 23,453,927,1898
Ideal solution if you want to donate money to a
charity or just to help a friend. The commission can be either a
flat amount (example: $10) or a percentage (Example: 10% => the
% is calculated upon the basic price of the Product.)
Charity commission
Any flat amount or a %. Each
of the affiliates included above will receive the same amount or
%. Examples:
$10 => each of the affiliates will get $10 for
each sale. Attention: the affiliate will get $10 for ALL sales
generated for that product in general and not only for the sales
generated by his/her affiliate link.
10% => each of affiliates whose IDs you will define above
will get 10% of the price. Thus, you can include from 1 to 10
affiliates for 10%, from 1 to 20 affiliates for giving them 5%
each, etc.
Guarantee period (in days)
If set to 0 then commissions will be
calculated instantly. If you set it to -say- 30 days, then
commissions will be credited to affiliates' accounts (for this SPECIFIC
PRODUCT) after 30 days. If a customer requests a refund during the
period specified here, you can click "Sales," find the order and mark is
as refunded. JVM will NOT credit the orders you have marked as refunded,
while this can be done during the period (in days) you'll specify in
this field.

URL to protected folder (for
memberships)

you want to protect the directory "ebooks" in your server, then

(without the quotes.)

yourserver.com/ebooks/download then create that sub-directory in
your server and insert "/ebooks/download" here (without the
quotes.)

special commission; examples:
$100/$50 => $100 on first level,
$50 on second level
20%/100% => 20% on first level, 20% on second level (remember
that the % of the second level is based on the % of the first
level; so if you define 20%/50% that means: 20% on the first
level and 10% on the second level, etc.)
This is the special commission the customer/affiliate will
get for all sales generated by his/her account for any of the
products offered through the affiliate group you will define
below.

customer/affiliate will be MOVED from the group s/he currently
is to the group you define here.
Move affiliate
to this affiliate group when the assigned membership (if any)
expires

Example: suppose you have 2 groups:
ALL & Special and you
want only affiliates that will pay for this SCAP (special
commission as a product) to be added to the group "Special." Affiliate AF
currently in group "ALL" pays for this product and he is moved
to the group "Special" for receiving the special commission you
