ebook sales by affiliate programming help

[ken_wallace]

Hi,

I hope I'm posting this in the right section.
I'd like some help or advice or offers to help with this problem please.

The plan is to distribute "try before you buy" type e-books mainly from independent affiliates websites. (.exe) with some sections locked. After purchase the unlock code will be sent to the customer to unlock full copy.

What is needed is an affiliate system for selling the e-books and crediting an affiliate when the sales are processed via a virtual account later.

What I think I need is a CGI form system. A page inside the book (a buy now button page) that send affiliate ID etc to our website were a form collects the credit card details on the site, notes the affiliate ID and then returns a thank you page.. Perhaps part of the credit card information is sent via email or so to avoid security problems to do with storage.

Later, the transaction is processed manually via a virtual terminal and the affiliate credited if appropriate.

I must explain, I can't use the usual auto return payment systems because I'm selling adult texts. (not pictures etc or memberships) so I mention this in case you were going to suggest a system that utilizes paypal or etc etc systems like that for the ecommerce side. It has to be a system that works with the method I outline (or similar).
Any help/suggestions will be appreciated.

Kind regards
Ken

I don't think the details are the same, but you might look into ClickBank.
