To validly achieve an affiliate program about the purchase of a brick-and-mortar store.
A Web page containing content for introducing merchandise is linked to an electronic coupon. When a user who has visited a brick-and-mortar store after looking at the Web page, and downloading the electronic coupon purchases the merchandise, the linked electronic coupon is verified with information related with the electronic coupon downloaded in the brick-and-mortar store, and it is recognized that affiliate is established. Even in purchasing the merchandise in the brick-and-mortar store based on mouth-to-mouth information in a community site or the like, an affiliate program can be applied. The use of the electronic coupon increases an incentive of carrying it to the brick-and-mortar store, and increases such possibility that affiliate is established. Furthermore, the downloading of the electronic coupon to a communication apparatus such as a mobile telephone which is always carried by the user increases such possibility that affiliate is established. Also, the affiliate program can be used even for ordinary individuals.
