Missing Amazon tracking ID
Symptoms of a missing or wrong tracking ID, how to set it, and which posts pick up the new one.
If your Amazon tracking ID isn't set, EverySqueeze leaves the Amazon link off your posts: a link that earns nothing would only look like an ad that pays no one. If the wrong one is saved, links still post, but the commission goes to that ID instead of yours. Here's how to spot it and fix it.
Check these in order
- Open Settings → Amazon and check what's saved. If nothing is set, EverySqueeze adds no Amazon link to your posts until you add one.
- Confirm it's a Store ID, not an Influencer ID. Your Store ID is the one EverySqueeze wants — it sits in the top-right corner of affiliate-program.amazon.com when you're signed in, and looks like
yourname-20. Your Influencer ID starts with ONAMZ and belongs to a different program (the Amazon Live / Storefront side); pasting that one in by mistake is the most common setup error and it will not tag your links correctly. - Set or correct it in Settings → Amazon.
- If links are still missing or carry the old ID after saving, check when the post went out and how its link starts. Posts already scheduled use the new ID when they go out, so you don't need to delete or reschedule them. A live link that starts with everysqueeze.com/r/ uses the new ID when tapped; one that starts with amazon.com keeps what it went out with. See Changing your tracking ID.
- Check Amazon's own requirement. Amazon Associates also requires you to list every social profile you post affiliate links on, under Associates → Account Settings → Websites and Mobile Apps. A missing listing there is an Amazon-side issue, not something EverySqueeze can fix from its end.
Still stuck?
Nothing is lost by a missing or wrong tracking ID — the posts themselves went out fine, only the Amazon link or the credit was missing. Posts that already went out without a link keep going without one. Once you fix the ID, every post that goes out afterwards carries it, including the ones already scheduled. If new posts still go out without your link, use Report a problem (in Pip's menu or the Help button).
