Hi,

Is it possible to have an cashback shopping website with price comparisons like Shopper.com or Pricerunner.com?

Many Thanks

Do you mean - is it possible to intergrate cashback with pricerunner or shooping.com?

If so - I'd suggest not because pricerunner/shopping.com are paying you per click that takes your visitor to the merchant site i.e there are two relationships in play: you & pricerunner and also pricerunner & the merchant.

For cashback sites you'd need to have a direct relationship with the merchant so that you could track sales via an affiliate network and then work out the amount of cashback.

Working with pricerunner you'd never know what sales are generated and therefore you wouldn't be able to work out cashback due to your visitors.

You could however setup your own price comparison site (massive job!) and then intergrate cashback I guess?

Hope this makes sense.

Yep, easy...give me 10 minutes and I'll have it ready

lol Keir can possibly get that ready in 10mins with all the product feeds from merchants.

well if you need a price comprison website who offers cashback then you need to design (there are solutions available on the form - search for product feeds) your own website which can integrate product feeds from networks and you can minipulate and display the information as you prefer.

Affiliate Window offers shop window facility - i am not sure if we can alter the code and database slighly to add cashback information for each merchant. but again its a long process because you have to register the users first, secondly identify which user has processed the sale etc. Again, custom made solutions are available from some affiliates on the forum.. keep searching..

Ciao..

Yes you can.....

spend hundreds of thousands developing your own comparison site, don't charge your retailers on the site per click, build the site with cash-back and affiliate links, good luck organising the feeds.


There is another way but I am not telling lol

we are proof that it can be done alone, without use of tagging onto the end of the big price comparison sites...it takes a hell of a lot of dedication of forward thinking to get over the pit falls though.

I liked that bit too. They just need to add something to the stamper sound, the kching sound from an old cash register
