We’ve been running Post Affiliate Pro for over 6 months now and I don’t believe there’s any better package out there in the price range.
In fact, Post Affiliate Pro has many great features usually only found in packages that are much more expensive.
I enjoy using it, our affiliates find it easy to use and the PAP team is always there to lend a hand when the need arises. I highly recommend Post Affiliate Pro.

DirectLink technology
DirectLink is unique feature of PAP. With DirectLink, affiliate links don’t contain any additional parameters, only address of your website. This is the most search engine friendly way of linking.
How it works? A simple description - PAP recognizes from which page the visitor came to your site. So if he came from affiliates’ site, our system knows he was referred by that affiliate.
Why it is so good? Because DirectLink links have many advantages, both for you as a merchant (SE friendliness) and also for your affiliates (link cannot be damaged, nobody knows it is affiliate link, etc.).
Commissions payments & invoicing
PAP automatically computes earned commissions and gives you balance for each affiliate. You can pay them using ANY payment method, for example PayPal.
System keeps full history of all payments for you to review.
Invoices and VAT handling are also supported (for EU merchants).

When someone asks me what affiliate program they should use, I say Post Affiliate Pro, because it simply works…

Customizable interface
Affiliate control panel interface is fully customizable. You can control virtually everything, from logo, to menu, control panel contents, design.
You can even write your own pages that will be a part of your affiliate panel.
Design can be also easily changed by selecting a theme.
Themes
First thing you’ll notice in the new version is it’s new revolutionary user interface. Our Blue Aero theme looks and behaves like a desktop application, with support for Start button & menu, sidebar, gadgets and quick launch.
It takes a while to get used to it, but it brings better productivity.
Of course, you can choose another theme that looks more like standard web application.
Endlessly extendable
Plugins support makes PAP almost endlessly extendable. If you are missing some functionality, you can add it by installing a plugin from our growing plugins database.
This way you can add new ways of tracking (Lifetime commissions, Path to the sale, GeoIP tracking, Site Heat map), new banner types, commission settings (Subsequent Sales commissions), virtually anything.
We are continually developing plugins for you, and we do it also on request. If you are missing some functionality, just ask us to make a plugin.
We have installed 6 or 7 PAP affiliate programs for our customers on various servers. Our customers mainly use osCommerce along with the PAP integration. We have had practically no issues … we highly recommend the PAP affiliate script if you are serious about setting up an affiliate system.
