Hello All Drupal Fans,
I was wondering If any of you people have seen or developed anything like an Affiliate Store in Drupal with CMS like functionalities off course. One of the best lead I have found so far is on:
Its a customized script specially developed to setup, configure and to become an Affiliate Store owner. There is basically no data stored in the database for the products just some PRODUCT FEEDS from where the data is retrieved from a third party site which provide the full information for that product in their feeds like, product name, description, price, and images etc... So, basically you have a store that is linked up to other Online Stores from where users can actually buy or purchase them. You site basically just provides the information about various products users can select the products and when they want to purchase them they are redirected to the original store from where they can really purchase those items.

This above link provides a complete video cast of how this Affilistore Script basically will work. I've did some Googling and found there is already a store module for Drupal called Ubercart with which you can extend them to Affiliate Store with another module specifically made for Ubercart, but ironically this module works the other way around ie. you can let people and users become affiliates to your store I guess.
Thanks In Advance Guys,

sorry i cant help you. not
sorry i cant help you. not many questions about setting up any kind of affiliate store or affilate data feed get any responses on the drupal forum, dont really know why. you will probably have to pay someone to put it together or spend a lot of time finding out how master views and the assorted feed modules. there are screencast for that. i am planning to build affiliate sites myself, but i keep putting it off. i have applied to start a drupal group for people who are interested. no, a novice is not the best person to start such a group, but it didnt exist and who else is going to do it? anyway, i hope to hear soon if the group is accepted and i will let you know. perhaps if there is a single place people can go to, we have a better chance at getting some answers.
I have th same question
I planned to start an affiliate site and dismissed affilistore, and was confident Drupal would take some more work but would do a much better job.
After searching through al the drupal modules to find a way to set up something similar(but better) to affilistore I found out it wasn't possible yet. So I'm also interested in the group you applied for.
It really surprised me Drupal has no modules to conger a solid affiliate site, I have had a look ad serveral modules I thought would do the trick but no luck so far. I end up with a large feed that is lacking al the data fields I would like to grab from the feed of file. Also my attempts to map the data to taxonomy(I thought that would give me solid searching options)didn't succee
Is there any news on the Group??

Did you try http://drupal.org/project/uc_affiliate2 ?
It is very possible
It is very possible to create something like an affilistore setup using Drupal. The main module for this is node_import. You can take any feed from CJ, Linkshare or whatever and import it as a CSV. Everything works as it should in respect to taxonomy of the affiliate products. The only issue is the image, where the image itself is not automatically displayed, instead it is a URL to the image. This is an issue with the http://drupal.org/project/node_import module.
This is a great setup.
Any tips on how to set this up ????
Thanks ...
Setup

Is there any specific module
Is there any specific module to make this process direct. I want to create a Amazon affiliate website.
