I just called support requesting help on this same topic. I have individuals and companies marketing my website to generate memberships and I need to track that to pay commissions.
Google Analytics tracks the sources of visitors to my website along with a huge gambit of other information. I was attempting to find a way to implement Google e-commerce and conversion codes to the 'Thank you' page (was told it is a system page and code cannot be inserted) to provide the information I need. Not sure if it is feasible to find a way to integrate with the features from Google, but is possible to insert code at some point after a completed transaction to track sales and the amount of the sale?
In my case, at least at the moment, I just need to track the referral source of online membership payments made and the amount of the transaction. I have a short application that gets turned into me for any manual payments. 90% of my memberships are online through Paypal processing.
I also have a one-time annual non-refundable membership fee, refunds are not a concern. As you say, this can be address in future updates.
I would have to look closer at Google e-commerce code, but if I understand it correctly, you can configure the script to call whichever details of the transaction you wish. The page I was looking at. http://www.google.com/support/googleanalytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=55528
It would be great if there was a built in affiliate feature that allowed tracking, but if we can access a page where we can insert javascript I think it would be a good first step. This for me is a high priority, I need to track before I can setup other marketing groups to push for memberships.
