The EverySqueeze Chrome extension
Runs inside your signed-in Amazon tab to find your products and accept Creator Connections campaigns daily.
The EverySqueeze extension runs inside your own signed-in Amazon tab: it finds the products you sell, accepts their Creator Connections campaigns every day, and helps you pick the best link. It never asks for or stores your Amazon password.
How it connects to your account
There's no separate login or pairing code. Signing in at everysqueeze.com (without www) sets a sign-in cookie the extension reads from the same Chrome profile — so whichever EverySqueeze account you're signed in to in Chrome is the one the extension works for. If you sign out or switch accounts, the extension follows.
Installing it
The extension is on the Chrome Web Store. On your computer, sign in to everysqueeze.com in Chrome, then open Settings → Amazon and press Add to Chrome: it opens the EverySqueeze listing on the Chrome Web Store. Click Add to Chrome there, then Add extension. Chrome keeps it up to date by itself. (The last screen of setup offers the same button on a computer, as an optional step, and shows Installed once you open the extension.) Pin it from Chrome's extensions menu, then open the popup: the line next to the logo should show a green dot and Synced, with your Amazon store ID once you've opened Amazon Associates (hover it to see which EverySqueeze workspace it works for). Amber Syncing… means it is still checking; red Not connected means it can't see your sign-in. The Display overlay switch beside it shows or hides the EverySqueeze panels on Amazon pages. An assistant installs their own copy on their own computer the same way; their Settings card shows their own copy, and says Not on your computer yet · installed by the account owner when only yours is installed.
Your Chrome extension is out of date
When the version your extension last reported is older than the one on the Chrome Web Store, the notifications bell and Home's Needs attention say Your Chrome extension is out of date, with the version. If that version has a known bug that stops the daily run, the line says so and is marked as needing a fix now.
- Installed from the Chrome Web Store: Chrome updates it on its own, usually within a day. To update now, open chrome://extensions on your computer, turn on Developer mode (top right) and click Update. You are only told when a store copy still reports an old version three days after the new one came out.
- An old copy from before the Chrome Web Store listing (older than 1.0.16): it never updates. Open chrome://extensions, click Remove on EverySqueeze, then add it again from the Chrome Web Store (the link is in Settings → Amazon). Then open it and check Run every day is on.
The notice clears after the extension next checks in with the current version (it checks in when Chrome starts and when you open it).
Switching from the developer-mode install
If you installed the extension earlier by downloading it and loading it unpacked, switch to the Chrome Web Store copy so it updates itself. Open chrome://extensions in Chrome, find the EverySqueeze extension you loaded unpacked and click Remove. Then add it from the Chrome Web Store as above. Don't keep both. If both are installed for the same person, only one runs (an assistant's own copy on their own computer is a different person and runs alongside yours): the Chrome Web Store copy takes over, and the other copy pauses itself (it runs no daily Amazon campaigns) and its popup says another copy of EverySqueeze is installed and to remove the old one at chrome://extensions. Your EverySqueeze sign-in carries over on its own, and from version 1.0.17 on so do the extension's settings: Run every day and its time, your Sponsored Products answer and categories, your LinkPick tracking ID and whether the Amazon page tools are shown come back automatically on the new copy once you are signed in. They come from a copy that was already on 1.0.17. The old developer copy never updates, so if yours was older, open the extension on Amazon Associates and turn on Run every day again (and set anything else that did not come back).
Where is Developer mode?
You don't need Developer mode. The extension installs from the Chrome Web Store with Add to Chrome in Settings → Amazon, and Chrome keeps that copy up to date by itself. Developer mode (a switch at the top right of Chrome's own chrome://extensions page) only mattered for the old developer copy some people installed before the Chrome Web Store listing. That copy never updates, so if you still have it, remove it as described above and use the Chrome Web Store copy instead.
Where do I get the EverySqueeze extension?
To install the Chrome extension you need Chrome on a computer, not on a phone. Two places have its Add to Chrome link (the Chrome Web Store listing):
- On Home, until the extension has checked in: "Get the EverySqueeze extension (computer only)", in the setup checklist or as its own line, with Add to Chrome beside it.
- In Settings → Amazon: the extension's card, with the button and the three setup steps. Once it is installed, the card shows its version and the button reads Open in Chrome Web Store.
The phone app's Settings has a Chrome extension section that says so and can copy the link to open on your computer. Once the extension has run for your account, that section shows the daily run instead: when it last ran and how it went (for example OK, or Held: with the reason), and when something needs fixing, what to do and the Copy the link for your computer button, since the fix happens in Chrome on your computer. The extension accepts your Amazon Creator Connections campaigns every day. From version 1.0.19, it can also save the Connections earnings report. Your Amazon earnings are in Amazon Associates > Reports.
Set up Chrome from your phone: copy the install link
On your phone, open Settings, choose Accounts and platforms, then scroll to Chrome extension and tap Copy the link for your computer. Open that link in Chrome on your computer to install it. Open desktop version on a phone opens the desktop dashboard on that same phone; the extension still needs a computer.
Campaign labels on Amazon pages
On Amazon search results and product pages the extension labels each product with what our Creator Connections campaign list says about it. CC opportunity with a rate means this exact product is in a campaign; CC family lead means another color or size of it is. When only the brand has campaigns, the label names the brand and says so, for example HEYDUDE CC · up to 20% on other products · this ASIN not verified: that is the brand's best rate on its other listings, not this product's rate, and it is shown in lighter text. On a product page (from version 1.0.26) the same thing is one sentence, for example HEYDUDE has Creator Connections campaigns (up to 20%) on other products. This one isn’t in a campaign we can see., ending and you’ve accepted one when you have accepted a campaign from that brand. Amazon's own SiteStripe shows this product's actual campaign rate. When the extension's daily run has accepted a campaign from that brand before, a line under it says you accepted a campaign from that brand; that comes from your own accept history and still says nothing about this product's rate.
The extension's notes on Amazon Associates
On Amazon Associates report pages the extension shows a short note at the bottom of the page saying how many of your sold products it has captured. From version 1.0.26 the note fades after a few seconds, comes back only when it captures more, and its ✕ closes it for the rest of that visit, so it never sits on Amazon's Ask Creator Assistant box. When the extension's bar can't find its usual place on the page, it sits in the bottom-right corner folded to one line, with More to open it and Close to put it away on that page (Close is hidden while a run shows Stop).
Linking Amazon
The first time the extension runs on an Amazon account that isn't linked to your EverySqueeze account yet, its menu asks Is <your Amazon store> your Amazon account? It isn't linked to your EverySqueeze account yet. with two buttons. Press Yes, link it if it is yours, then confirm: from then on, the campaigns and earnings the extension reads from that Amazon store are saved to your EverySqueeze account. This is the link between your Amazon account and your EverySqueeze account, not your Amazon tracking ID (that is set in Settings → Amazon). No, switch account is for when you are signed in to a different EverySqueeze account than the one this Amazon account belongs to: it takes you to EverySqueeze to sign in to the right one. An assistant doesn't get Yes, link it: only the creator can link an Amazon account.
Open affiliate-program.amazon.com in the same Chrome, signed in to Amazon, then open the extension and press Run everything now. Turn on Run every day so it keeps running once a day while Chrome is open. While a run is going, the menu shows what it is doing and how far it got, for example Running: accepting campaigns (step 3 of 4). 12 of 40 checked, 3 accepted., with Last checked: and the last few brands it checked (version 1.0.29 and later).
From version 1.0.32 the menu shows the run as numbered steps that read Next, Running or Done, a progress bar, how long it has run and, once it has a pace, about N min left (worked out from this run and your own recent runs), a Stop button, and You can close this. It keeps going in the background. Under it are the latest results, each with a label such as Accepted 15%, Already yours, No boost, Skipped (cap) or Refused by Amazon, with a count of each on top. The same panel, with Stop, shows on the Amazon Creator Connections page. Each run saves your Creator Connections and Associates earnings first, so a long or stuck accept never costs a day of earnings. After accepting, the run checks a sample of what it accepted on Amazon's Active list and says how many are confirmed on Amazon, and which ones Amazon did not add (this can happen when that brand already has an active campaign for the product). Stop ends the run at once; anything already accepted stays accepted.
From version 1.0.32, when something needs you, the menu says it first, in plain words, with one button that fixes it: for example Amazon Associates isn’t signed in on this Chrome. with Open Amazon Associates, You’re signed out of EverySqueeze in this Chrome. with Sign in, or Your computer was offline at run time. with Run now. A run that was held because the computer was offline or Amazon could not be read gets one more try the same day, once the computer is back online. From version 1.0.35, a run held because the extension could not tell which Amazon account is signed in waits for you instead: the menu says Waiting for you to sign in to Amazon Associates — it’ll run by itself once you do., and once an Amazon Associates page shows your store, the run starts by itself, once that day (see The EverySqueeze extension). After the extension updates, it checks your EverySqueeze sign-in and asks you to open Amazon Associates once if it has not seen your Amazon account since.
The menu's settings read When to check (Run every day and its time), Which products to check (how often to go through all your brands: your newest products and new campaigns first, then your exact sold products, then the day's share of your brands, best sellers first) and When boosts are found: Let me review first (it finds them and lists them, accepts nothing, and Accept these N now accepts them), Accept them for me, or Don’t accept anything (runs still read your sales and save your earnings). Accept them for me needs the one-time OK. An account that already accepted keeps accepting.
From version 1.0.36, Which products to check uses your own count, for example Search all 3,193 of your brands with every day, every 3 days or every week (a choice you made before shows as what it works out to, for example every 4 days (1,000 a day)).
While a run is going, Updating your campaigns has its own progress bar: Finding brands: 1,200 of 2,300 products, then Finding variations, then Refreshing your campaign list (that last part has no count, so its bar just moves). The brand part of accepting says how far through today's brands it is, for example brand 640 of 1,000 today. When a step runs longer than it usually does, the time left is hidden rather than guessed.
When a run finishes, Home leads with one line, for example Accepted 14 new campaigns · next run tomorrow 9:00 AM (with Let me review first, 14 campaigns need your OK); the run's steps are one click away under Steps. The Creator Connections tab shows counts on its tiles: Opportunities shows how many campaigns that match your products are new since the last run (for example 34 new), and Accepted campaigns how many the extension has accepted for you (for example 412 so far).
On a new install, When boosts are found shows Accept them for me picked, but nothing is accepted until you confirm the one-time OK, which says Every accept is final on Amazon, and you agree to each campaign’s terms, including disclosure on your content. Until you confirm, runs only list what they find; Let me review first in that box keeps it that way. An install that already had a choice keeps it. If a ! shows next to Synced, click it: it says in one line what is wrong. It is not shown when nothing is wrong.
From version 1.0.33 the menu has three tabs: Home (problems, the run, Run everything now, Copy debug report and Open dashboard), Creator Connections (shortcuts to your opportunities, accepted campaigns, Amazon videos and reports) and Settings (when to check, which products, and what happens when boosts are found). If another copy of the extension is installed, the menu says so in one line with How to fix underneath. Copy debug report copies a short text you can paste to EverySqueeze support: the version, the last run's steps and numbers, and whether your Amazon store and EverySqueeze account match. It never includes passwords, sign-in tokens, cookies or money figures.
Also from version 1.0.33, every run starts with your newest products and new campaigns, so a new boost is usually accepted within about a minute: first the brands that just got a new campaign, and the brands of products you sold this month or linked in the last 14 days, then your exact sold products, then the day's batch of brands. Products you posted but never sold are checked too: the products picked for your videos join your product list the same way linked products do (never counted as sold, and never one you removed). An accept the run could not confirm on Amazon's Active list is checked again on the next run, for up to three runs.
Right under Run every day is Also accept all Sponsored Products campaigns every day, with the categories to accept directly beneath it (choose none to include every category). Sponsored Products run in each run after your earnings are saved, before your brands, and only when When boosts are found is set to accept. The first time, the extension asks once whether to include them: Yes, include them or No, skip them. If you say no, runs skip them and the Last run line says so. If your Amazon account has no Sponsored Products tab at all, the Last run line says Sponsored Products isn’t available on this Amazon account (from version 1.0.28); that is not an error and there is nothing to fix. From version 1.0.30, a category Amazon shows greyed out (it has nothing in it right now) is skipped and not called a problem; only a category list that never finishes loading puts a category list never finished loading on the Last run line. The same settings appear in the Run every day dialog on the Amazon Creator Connections and Reports pages, so they always match.
A red ! on the extension's icon means the last run needs you: you were signed out of Amazon, the run failed or got stuck, the extension is out of date, or the Amazon account or EverySqueeze account doesn't match the one it is linked to (the Last run line in the popup says which). That includes Wrong Amazon store selected: Amazon Associates has a store selected (for example one another creator shared with you) that your EverySqueeze account does not use; see Using the extension with shared Amazon access. Things that need nothing from you don't raise it: a paused account, Sponsored Products switched off, an Amazon limit for the day, or one morning when the computer was offline (two offline runs in a row do). A clean run, including one you start yourself, clears it. From version 1.0.25 the popup also says when EverySqueeze did not accept the report of a run (the dashboard then does not show that run; the ! shows until a later report lands) or when your product list did not upload (the next run tries again).
From version 1.0.30, when a run stops part-way, the Last run line says where and, when the extension can tell, why: Chrome paused the Amazon page (Chrome pauses a window left in the background to save power), Chrome closed the Amazon page to save memory, the computer went to sleep and Amazon's page did not pick back up, or signed out of Amazon when the run's Amazon page asked you to sign in. Otherwise it says Amazon’s page stopped answering. Anything already accepted stays accepted.
From version 1.0.38, campaigns for your sold products that are already yours or have ended are checked again only every few days instead of on every run. When Amazon asks the extension to slow down, it waits at most 2 minutes, and after a few in a row it moves on and checks the rest on the next run, so your brands still get their turn. The Last run line says how many times Amazon asked it to slow down. If accepting reaches its time limit, the line says how many minutes it ran, and the next run continues where it stopped.
