You will find various ways of working of online pharmacy affiliate programs. One would be, which follow medical rules and providing online consultation along with evaluation of suitability of treatment to the patients; second would be through free online consultation or questionnaires. other would be the ones, who are only selling medications without evaluating the condition of patients.
Usually online pharmacies who are genuine always take care of patients condition before shipping their products and their process is bit long which we will discuss in this post later. However those who are involved only in selling medication have very simple process of working. They ask affiliates to place their banners or text links on the site and redirect visitors to their website, where visitors is two or three clicks away to final checkout . Visitor can buy medication by providing shipping and payment details. Once order is placed successfully, order is being processed further. If order gets processed successfully, affiliate commission gets approved else declined. However they miss out the very important step of validating the patients detail before shipping the medication. Hence, tomorrow if patient suffer from any problem the online pharmacy as well as affiliates will be equally responsible for the same.
The working of genuine online pharmacy affiliate program is very different as discussed in steps below:
- Affiliate places banner or text link on their websites. Visitors who visits the affiliate website may click on the banner or text link and gets redirected to online pharmacies website.
- Visitor follows couple of clicks to make a purchase from the online pharmacy website. At the stage of "checkout" or "buy now", visitor is being asked to provide personal details (repeat visitor does not need to provide these details, as online pharmacy already has those details in their database). After that visitor is asked to answer couple of questionnaire, which are usually asked in physical consultation for getting the patients medical history. And finally visitor is asked to provide the payment details.
- As soon as the payment details are verified, the questionnaire filled up by patient will be sent to the doctor for evaluation. Doctors depending upon the various medical conditions either approve or disapprove the treatment to the patient.
- Once consultation is approved by the doctor, the order and questionnaire along with answer is send to the physical pharmacist; who verifies the treatment and order details according to pharmacist rules and ships the medication to the address provided by patient if everything is fine.
- Once the order gets shipped, the commission for the affiliates is approved and credited in their affiliate account while simultaneously patient gets the delivery of the order along with the address of physical pharmacy who shipped it on behalf of online pharmacy.
This will clear the difference between the genuine online pharmacy and fake online pharmacy working methodology.
Now its up to you whether you want to contribute in only selling medication without verifying the patients detail or you want to help people get best medication at best price from the best online source.
Thus pharmacy affiliate marketing is an industry where either you can promote fake online pharmacy and may get into legal issues or you can genuine online pharmacy and help people providing best souce to online treatment as well as earn hansome commission.
