How do I know which handle is connected to my Amazon account, and which one will be credited?

By default, Lasso automatically detects and uses whichever Amazon tracking ID appears in your affiliate links. But, you can set a default and even add international IDs if you'd like!

Overview

Lasso's default behavior is to preserve the tracking ID you already have in your Amazon links.

But, there are options to set a default, override unnecessary IDs, and add international Tracking IDs.


Settings

If you want to manually control which ID is used in your Lasso account, you can customize that in your Amazon Settings.

Default Tracking ID

The default tracking ID is the one you'll use most often.

When you add a default ID, Lasso will automatically add it to all of your Amazon links.

Don't want it to override certain tracking IDs? No problem! Just check the next section below for the Tracking ID Whitelist.

Tracking ID Whitelist

The Tracking ID Whitelist is for IDs that you use regularly and don’t want Lasso to override.

If you add an Amazon link to Lasso with any of these tracking IDs, it won't be replace by the default.

See an ID you don't recognize, or want to remove an old one? Just click the "x" button, and Lasso will replace it with your default automatically!

International Tracking IDs

If your Amazon Associates account(s) supports multiple countries, Lasso can automatically send readers to their local Amazon store.

Just add the tracking ID you use for each country. Then, anytime someone clicks one of your Amazon links that's connected to Lasso, we'll check their location and send them to the correct locale with the correct tracking ID for that country.
