Hi,

I want to set up a referral arrangement.

Let's assume my business is about giving photography classes/workshops.
My customers/prospects are people that take pictures with cameras. They are buying their cameras and other camera equipment at a camera shop/store.The owner of the camera shop will tell his customers/prospects about my photography classes. He will basically market my classes.

If the camera shop owner makes one of his customers buy my photography classes, I will give him some money for it like a bonus for referring his customers to me. So the camera shop owner gets a bonus for every customer that comes to me thanks to him.

Here comes my problem, which probably is of a technical character: how can I make it absolutely certain for the shop owner that he will receive bonus for every single customer? I need a 100% robust system so the shop owner really knows that he will never be tricked by me. I guess I could give the shop owner some discount codes, but in that case I would be issuing and collecting the discounts...so in the end the shop owner still would have to trust my good will. Also, not every customer would use the discount code even though the customer would get a discount that motivates him to use it. Another way would be to give the shop owner my login information to my website, bank account etc...which is not a good solution.

And ideas? Are there any third party solutions?

Thanks!
