It has been an exciting couple of weeks for Magento. Yesterday, Magento launched their new Magento Developer Certification program. For more information about it, check out yesterday’s post. Next week, Magento will help host the first ever x.commerce Innovate Developer’s Conference, where we will finally learn the details about the result of the partnership between Magento, eBay, PayPal, and GSI Commerce. Finally, last week, Magento announced their new Magento Go Affiliate Program.
According to the website, Magento Go is “a hosted, SaaS (software as a service) service that enables small and emerging merchants to quickly build and launch an online store.” Magento Go is the new turnkey solution that includes completely software, servers, hosting, and security that is handled completely by Magento. Magento Go is intended for small and emerging businesses that need to be focused on growing their business, rather than being concerned with the details of maintaining their online store. In addition, Magento Go is ideal for small businesses that cannot dedicate extensive technical resources to building and customizing their online store.
Some of the other great features of Magento Go include:
- PCI compliance: Magento Go is level 1 PCI-DSS compliant
- Technical support: Magento Go is supported by Magento’s highly-acclaimed support staff
- Premium hosting: Magento Go is hosted in the best datacenters available
- Automatic upgrades: Magento Go is upgraded frequently and automatically so your store always is the best it can be
- Affordable: Magento Go offers four monthly plans, starting at $15/month, to fit any budget; plus the first month is free
The Magento Go Affiliate Program allows Affiliate Partners to earn a 25% recurring revenue share for every merchant they refer to Magento Go. According to the website (find link above), “the Affiliate Partner Program is for web design firms, industry partners or anyone providing services to merchants.” The Affiliate Program offers partners the ability to track their earnings with real-time reports and utilize turnkey marketing tools to spread the word. The sign-up process to become a Magento Go Affiliate Partner is simple and only requires this simple information: name, company, website, and email. Sign up here. The Affiliate Program tracks Affiliate Partner commissions by assigning a unique tracking code to each partner. When a potential customer clicks on a link with a tracking code and signs up for Magento Go, the correct Affiliate Partner receives credit for the referral based on the embedded tracking code.
