Setting Transmit URL in UltraCart for Merchants

Go to UltraCart for Merchants -> Configurations -> (Back Office) -> XML Post back or click https://secure.ultracart.com/merchant/configuration/xmlPostbackLoad.do

Then set Transmit to URL to:

https://URL_TO_PostAffiliatePro/plugins/UltraCart/ultracart.php

If you wish to track also recurring charges and grant commission for them (available for PAP/PAN version 5.3.27.6 and higher), then set also the Transmit Auto Order Status to URL to:

https://URL_TO_PostAffiliatePro/plugins/UltraCart/ultracart.php

and make sure the Recurring Commissions feature is turned on in the Features section in the merchant panel. As soon as it is turned on, click the Configure button next to it and check in the “Use only API to trigger commissions (planned task will be disabled)” and “Pending recurring regulation will create pending commission” check box.

Afterwards, when you are setting up a recurring commission in a campaign, make sure that for the period of recurrence you choose varied. It is essential!
