"I just read the Color mini-tutorial and although I have taken several color classes at conferences, you added new ways of looking at color mixtures. My mantra is "Color is Everything" so I am thrilled to think about it in more ways now."

Sell HeartStrings Digital Products
Instructions for Digital-Only Sales Affiliate Program Links
As an approved HeartStrings e-Patterns Sales Affiliate in the Digital-Only Sales Affiliate Program, you use Shopatron catalog links to sell digital downloads of HeartStrings products such as e-Patterns, tutorials and mini-classes. This page provides examples of the link code and how you might integrate it into your website or email promotions.
Note: If you are a retailer and not yet a HeartStrings e-Patterns Sales Affilate, you may contact Jackie E-S at HeartStrings about becoming one. Overview of Affilate Programs
For each available digital product you want to sell, you create an affiliate link which you can place in emails, or combine them with images or text to create your own purchase buttons and purchase links for your web site.
The affiliate link you create for selling HeartStrings e-Patterns contains your affiliate id (so that you get credit for the sales) and the product id (so the customer can download or view the pattern from their Shopatron account library as soon as they have completed credit card payment).
To set up your custom affiliate links for the digital products you want to sell, you need only change 2 things in the example links provided below. For the following examples, the affiliate id by Shopatron and product id have been set respectively as follows:
- os=hswww
Change "hswww" to your own affiliate id. When setting up your own links, you substitute the affiliate id number I have assigned you. If you need me to look up your affiliate id and send to you again, let me know.
Note: the affiliate id is called an 'order source' (os) by Shopatron
- product_id=HFAA23DL
Change the "A23" portion to the product id of the digital product you want to sell. In this example, A23 is the product id for the EenieMenieMiniMo Socks downloadable PDF pattern. For a listing of product id's of out-of-print publications that are now offered as e-Patterns, click here. You can see a complete listing of all product id's offered as electronic products on the
Parts Number listing page of the HeartStrings Downloadable Patterns catalog at Shopatron.
Example 1
Here is an example of the link code used with a "buy now" button image:
<a href="http://www.shopatron.com/product/product_id=HFAA23DL/291.1?os=hswww" ><img src="http://www.heartstringsfiberarts.com/buyegoods.jpg"></a>
The result looks like this:
Note: Instead of "http://www.heartstringsfiberarts.com/buyegoods.jpg", of course you'd probably want to substitute your own graphic button image.
Click here for an example web page with the button image link code integrated into the catalog page.
Example 2
Here is an example of a text link that could be pasted into a html email promotion or onto a web page:
<a href="http://www.shopatron.com/product/product_id=HFAA23DL/291.1?os=hswww">Buy EenieMenieMiniMo Socks pdf pattern</a>
The result will look like this:
Buy EenieMenieMiniMo Socks pdf pattern
Note: Instead of the words "Buy EenieMenieMiniMo Socks pdf pattern", of course substitute whatever appropriate words you want.
Example 3
Here is an example of the link code ready to be pasted into a text email promotion:
http://shopatron.com/product/product_id=HFAA23DL/291.1?os=hswww
