    Example of calling sale.php:
    __VROOT_DIR__/plugin/affiliate/system/control/sale.php?amount=20&secret=secretword



    23. Check for duplicate "goods" variable-> When checked, the sale.php will check every new commission to see if the "goods" value already exists with a commission and will prevent the commission. For example, if you can record an invoice number in the "goods" variable, this is another good way to prevent fraudulent commissions.

    Check for YES
