How can keep track of affiliated websites

Question

I want developed a website where I will show the products of other websites. I have searched about affiliate marketing and its really working great.

But the issue is,still there are some countries where affiliate marketing is unknown. Few websites provides affiliations.

I want to host website in one of these countries. There are few(5%) websites which provides affiliations, so my questions will be about other (95%) non-affiliated websites or clients.

• If I want to show non-affiliated websites products, Do I need to install some affiliate API in their system(websites) or they will be responsible?
• If they don't want to implement any third party API, they want to add their own system then How much it will reliable. I mean how can I track record of users or customers.
• From technical side, Do I need to add some tracking code on their websites? Like some website provides small scripts?

I will be responsible for application architecture and development, So I need to make clear of these things. I have searched on it but can't found technical articles or information.

Thanks

1. If you are already affiliated with a website and they have tracking system then no issues, But if they dont have any then you can use pixel tracking to track your affiliate progress.

2. If you are showing products from websites, To which you are not affiliated yet then get affiliated with them. Or search they are tiedup with a service like ShareASale etc.
