DySE::StubHub Script Documentation

Introduction

The DySE::StubHub script (make.pl) is a Perl script program that works in conjunction with the generic DySE™ viewer script (view.pl) to display products offered by StubHub.com. The DySE::StubHub script and the DySE™ viewer script run on your web server.

When you run the DySE::StubHub script (make.pl), it downloads and processes the product datafeed file from StubHub.com and creates a products database file. When a user visits your website, the DySE™ viewer script (view.pl) is run and it displays product pages, category pages, or the home page.

A live example website that uses DySE::StubHub is www.bime.com.com/tickets

Installation

For detailed instructions on how to install and use DySE::StubHub make.pland the DySE™ view.pl, click here.

Important:   ID Time Sharing StubHub.com has a one-tier affiliate program; they do not offer a sub-affiliate commission. The DySE::StubHub script uses ID time sharing. On average, your ID is used in links 3/4 of the time, and our ID (Cusimano.Com Corporation is an affiliate of StubHub.com) is used the remaining 1/4 of the time. Because your ID is not used 100% of the time, your effective commission rate is reduced to on average 3/4 of the full rate (e.g.: from 8% to on average 6%).
