The Affiliate Commission Killer

In-App Browsers Are Destroying Your Affiliate Revenue

When you share Amazon links on social media, they open in stripped-down browsers. Users aren't logged in, payment info isn't saved, and your affiliate cookies often get lost.

3steps to buy from your link in the Amazon app, instead of 7 in an in-app browser

Steps to finish, from the tap

  • In-app browser

Payment No saved payment methods One-tap checkout with saved payment

Your commission Lost commissions on purchases Never lose a commission

The hidden leak: buying later

Many shoppers tap your link, look around in the built-in browser, then close it. When they buy the same product later in the Amazon app, that order did not start from your link, so your referral can get lost along the way. A LinkTwin link opens the Amazon app on the first tap, so the order can happen right away, through your link.

Amazon mobile deep linking

How Amazon App Deep Linking Works.

A LinkTwin link checks each tap: which phone it is on and whether the Amazon app is installed. If it is, the product opens in the app, signed in, with your tag on the link. If not, the shopper gets the normal Amazon page in their browser. That is Amazon mobile deep linking, with no code to write.

TikTok never lets a link out on its own, so LinkTwin shows a short guide to TikTok's own Open in browser, two taps away. On X, it takes one tap on iPhone, and app links open directly on Android. If an app is not installed, the visitor gets the normal web page.

What Happens When Someone Clicks Your Affiliate Link?

Amazon Affiliate Tools

Why Amazon Affiliates Use LinkTwin.

Opening the Amazon app is where it starts. Here is everything else a LinkTwin link does for an Amazon Associate, from the first tap to the click report.

  1. Direct Amazon App Opening

    Your affiliate links bypass in-app browsers and open directly in the Amazon app. Users see your product with their account ready: logged in, payment saved, Prime active.

  2. Your tag stays on, start to finish

    LinkTwin passes your Amazon Associate tag through every hop of the redirect. Whether the shopper lands in the app or in the browser, the product page loads with your tag on it.

  3. Forgot the tag? It gets added

    Save your Associate tag once for each Amazon store. Any Amazon link you shorten without a tag gets yours added automatically.

    See how auto tags work

  4. Amazon Localization

    Auto-redirect visitors to their local Amazon store (US, UK, DE, JP, etc.) with your affiliate tag.

  5. Sold out? Your link switches Included from the Medium plan

    When a product sells out, your link can send shoppers to a replacement you picked, then switch back once it is in stock again. A daily email tells you what changed.

  6. Click Analytics

    See every click by country, device and platform, so you know which posts, videos and products send shoppers to Amazon.

  7. Branded short links

    Turn long Amazon URLs into short links on your own custom branded domain, like go.yourbrand.com/headphones, so shoppers can see who sent them.

  8. Retargeting Pixels

    Add Facebook, Google, and TikTok pixels to build custom audiences of shoppers for your paid campaigns.

  9. QR Codes

    Generate QR codes for products. Perfect for print content, packaging, or offline promotions that drive app purchases.

  10. Works beyond Amazon

    The same link opens Walmart, Target, eBay, Etsy, Best Buy and more shopping apps, so every store you promote gets the app experience.

    See every store

  11. Create links where you already are

Simple Setup

How to Make Amazon Links Open in the App.

Three steps, no code. The link you get is your Amazon app URL for Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and anywhere else you share, and it opens in the Amazon app on iPhone and Android.

  1. Paste Any Amazon Link

    Drop any Amazon product URL into LinkTwin. We'll detect your affiliate tag automatically.

    Also available via the browser extension.

  2. We Create Your App Link

    LinkTwin generates a smart link that opens in the Amazon app with your affiliate tag preserved.

  3. Share & Earn

Not Just Amazon: Walmart, Target, eBay and More.

Most affiliates promote more than one store. LinkTwin opens product links in the Walmart, Target, eBay, Etsy and Best Buy apps the same way, plus LTK, AliExpress, Temu, Shein, Home Depot, IKEA and Wayfair. Pick a store to see how its deep links work.

If you send traffic between apps on mobile, the experience is terrible and often it opens in browser instead of the app on your phone. This tool solves that issue nicely.

My man! Try LinkTwin if you haven't already, sends people straight to the app. Not affiliated, just an awesome tool.

Awesome tool for Instagram creators! IG story links don't open in dedicated apps, like YouTube. Use linktw.in to level-up your links, sending the audience straight to your content on their specific apps, rather than a login-prompt within the IG browser!

Hey @Texas_Miler, you should try linktw.in for when you post YouTube links on IG stories, that way it'll open directly in the app and it's easier for people to like/comment since they're signed in. It's been super useful for me!

Try linktw.in: put your YouTube link in. It makes your YouTube link open DIRECTLY into the YouTube app instead of in video purgatory. @seancannell #SMMW23

Para eso: NUNCA pongas tus Links. Si haces eso, tu video se vera en otro reproductor o una pagina dentro de otra App. Mejor usa la pagina linktw.in Ahi pondras el link de tu video y te generara un nuevo enlace que SI abrira tu video dentro de la App de YT.

Let's stop sharing links THE WRONG WAY because it's costing you views and engagement. Instead, copy the link to your video and paste it to this website called LinkTwin. From there, copy the link generated and share it across all your social channels.

Quick life hack: Use linktw.in to create a link that when shared on Instagram on mobile opens the video in the YT app, not in a web browser. This allows people to interact with your video as opposed to just watching and clicking off.

Use this when posting the YouTube link on your stories, it redirects you to the app and not to the mobile site where half the people aren't even logged in.

Astuce pour ceux qui partagent des liens YouTube en story Instagram : Au lieu de rediriger les gens vers une page web par defaut ou ils ne pourront pas liker ou s'abonner, generez d'abord le lien sur linktw.in

Amazon Affiliate Questions

Everything you need to know about Amazon affiliate app links and deep linking. Still have questions? Contact us

Will I still get my Amazon commissions?

Yes. LinkTwin keeps your Amazon Associate tag on the link through the whole redirect, so when shoppers buy through your link in the Amazon app, the order is credited to your tag as usual. Shoppers are also more likely to finish the purchase in the app, where they are already signed in.

How does Amazon geo-targeting work?

Our Amazon Localization feature detects the visitor's location and automatically redirects them to their local Amazon store (amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, amazon.de, etc.). You can set up affiliate tags for each region so you never miss international commissions.

Is this allowed by Amazon's Terms of Service?

LinkTwin is listed as an Amazon Verified Partner. Your link still sends shoppers to Amazon with your own Associate tag, and nothing is cloaked. As always, follow the Amazon Associates Operating Agreement, for example by disclosing that your links are affiliate links.

What if users don't have the Amazon app?

If the Amazon app isn't installed, LinkTwin gracefully falls back to the mobile website in their default browser (Safari/Chrome). Your affiliate tag is still preserved, and users can still complete their purchase, just not with the one-tap convenience of the app.

Does it work with other affiliate programs?

Yes! While we specialize in Amazon, LinkTwin also supports Walmart, Target, eBay, Best Buy, Etsy, and many other shopping apps. The same app-opening technology works across all major e-commerce platforms. Check our supported apps page for the full list.

What is an Amazon deep link?

An Amazon deep link opens a product page inside the Amazon app instead of a web browser. LinkTwin turns any Amazon link into one: shoppers who have the app land on your product, signed in, and everyone else gets the normal Amazon web page.

How do I make my Amazon affiliate links open in the app on iPhone?

Paste your Amazon link into LinkTwin and share the short link it gives you. When someone taps it on an iPhone with the Amazon app installed, the product opens in the app. The same link works on Android. Instagram and Threads open the app straight away. On Facebook and X it takes one tap, and in TikTok LinkTwin shows a short guide to TikTok's own Open in browser, two taps away.

Does it work with amzn.to and a.co short links?

Yes. You can paste amzn.to and a.co short links, full amazon.com product URLs and links from any regional Amazon store, such as amazon.co.uk or amazon.de. LinkTwin opens each one in the Amazon app and keeps your tag.

How can I make my affiliate links open directly in mobile apps?

Use a deep link tool like LinkTwin. Paste your affiliate link, share the LinkTwin link instead of the raw one, and each tap opens the matching app: Amazon, Walmart, Target, eBay, Etsy and 100+ other apps. It takes about 30 seconds, and the free plan needs no credit card.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. LinkTwin has a free forever plan with 10 links and 500 clicks a month, and no credit card is needed. Paid plans add more clicks, and custom branded domains are available from the Medium plan. See all plans and prices.

Is LinkTwin safe to use?

Yes. Shoppers are redirected over HTTPS to the Amazon link you chose. They never sign in to LinkTwin or install anything, and their Amazon account, card and address stay with Amazon.

One LinkTwin account, every kind of link

The same account opens links in more than 100 apps. See what it does for other creators.
