Your Amazon tracking IDs
Set a default Amazon tracking ID, plus optional overrides per platform, in Settings → Amazon.
Set or change your Amazon tracking ID in Settings → Amazon, under Your Amazon tracking IDs. It's the Amazon Associates Store ID stamped onto every link EverySqueeze builds, for example yourname-20.
In the mobile app
Open Settings (the cog), go to Accounts and platforms and scroll to Amazon tracking IDs. Type your ID in the Default box and tap Save; Use a different ID per platform opens a box per platform, saved with Save platform IDs. It is the same saved ID the dashboard uses. To attach an Amazon product to one video instead, see Change the product on a post.
Where to find it
In Amazon Associates Central, click your account name at the top right, then Manage Tracking IDs; it looks like yourname-20. It starts with a letter or number and can have letters, numbers, hyphens, dots and underscores, so your.name-20 works too. Not sure which Amazon account you need? See Which Amazon account do I need?. A whole product link that contains tag=yourname-20 can be pasted too: the box keeps only the part after tag=. A storefront link (amazon.com/shop/…) or an amzn.to link has nothing to keep, and the box says so. So does an email address, an Amazon code that starts with amzn1. (a campaign or account code) or a product code (ASIN): none of those is a tracking ID, and the box won't save them. In setup, tapping the grey button says what is missing.
The box checks as you type. A note that needs the rest of your ID (like the missing -20) waits until you pause or leave the box; nothing is sent anywhere while you type.
In setup, a short note under the box says where your link goes: it is added to your Facebook, YouTube and Pinterest posts (only platforms you connected and where links are on are named). For Instagram videos, add the product with Add products on Instagram.
It ends in -20
A tracking ID always ends in a hyphen and two numbers: -20 for amazon.com. An ID without that ending can't be saved: the box says tracking IDs end in -20 and suggests your ID with -20 added, and one tap on the suggestion fills the box for you (you still save it). Your links go to amazon.com, so only a US ID ending in -20 earns on them. An ID for another country (like -21) asks first: the box says it earns nothing on amazon.com and offers Keep with your ID (and your US Store ID, when your Amazon data shows one). After Keep it saves, with a note that it earns nothing there. An ID you saved before counts as kept.
A default ID saved before this check, without the -20, is never put on your links: Amazon credits nobody for it. Until you fix it, posts EverySqueeze makes go out without an Amazon link, as if no ID were set, and the bell and Needs attention on Home say Your Amazon tracking ID is missing -20, with the ID it most likely is (the one your Amazon reports show, when they show it) and a button to Settings → Amazon.
Lowercase, copied exactly
Tracking IDs are lowercase; copy it exactly from Amazon (zeros, not O's). EverySqueeze saves and sends your ID in lowercase for you. If your saved ID looks like a near miss of the Store ID Amazon shows in your own Amazon data (a letter O where Amazon has a zero, for example), the box says Amazon shows your Store ID as that ID and asks whether to use it; one tap fills the box, and you still save it. Nothing is changed for you.
When your Amazon data shows your Store ID, the box also says Matches your Amazon account with a green tick when your ID is that Store ID. When the Default box holds a different ID and your Amazon data shows exactly one Store ID, the box says Your Amazon account shows that ID, Use that?, and a one-tap fill. It's an offer, not a problem: a second tracking ID of your own still saves.
Where automatic fixes are switched on for your account (being rolled out), EverySqueeze fixes the saved ID for you only when your own Amazon data leaves no doubt: your Amazon reports, read by the EverySqueeze Chrome extension, and the Amazon account you linked show exactly one Store ID, and your saved ID is that ID with a letter O for a zero, an l or I for a 1, a space typed in, or the -20 left off (when only the -20 is missing, your Store ID also counts if it is the same name as the on-site ID, the one starting onamz, in the account you linked). It looks at the reports already saved once a day when you open the app, as well as when the extension sends new ones. A platform box holding something Amazon doesn't accept (a social handle, for example) is emptied, so that platform uses your default ID, but only when your default is that Store ID. The bell then says We fixed your Amazon tracking ID with what it was saved as and what your Amazon account says, and an Undo button for 7 days. Undo puts your ID back exactly as you saved it, and that fix is never made again. If the ID changes again afterwards, the line goes; when you saved that box yourself, your choice stays and the fix is not made again. Anything less certain is only offered, as above.
Default, plus per-platform overrides
Default is required and covers every link unless a platform below overrides it. You can also set a separate ID for YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest — leave any of them blank to fall back to your default. A platform ID saved earlier without the -20 ending is skipped, and that platform's links use your default. An empty platform box says Uses your default ID. Press Save changes in the bar at the bottom of the page to keep them. Splitting them lets each platform's earnings show up separately in your own Amazon reports; sharing one ID collapses everything into a single number.
Track whether your Amazon sales come from Instagram, Facebook or YouTube
Give each platform its own tracking ID (above). Splitting them lets each platform's earnings show up separately in your own Amazon reports, by tracking ID. How Amazon counts or pays each ID (bonuses included) is up to Amazon Associates.
If nothing is set
A link with no default and no fallback goes out untagged — a warning under the Default box says Nothing set: your links go out untagged (on the phone, Not set — your links go out untagged and earn nothing.) so you can catch it. Posts EverySqueeze makes for you work the other way: until an ID is saved they go out without an Amazon link at all, rather than an untagged one.
After you change it
Posts already scheduled use the new ID when they go out; you don't need to delete or reschedule them (one YouTube exception, and Settings tells you after a save if you have one). Live links that start with everysqueeze.com/r/ switch to the new ID too; live links that start with amazon.com keep the old one. The details, link by link: Changing your tracking ID.
