There are two ways to add Lasso affiliate links to your content: text and displays.
Adding In-Text Links
If you ever added a link in a post with WordPress, then adding a Lasso Link works the same way.
The process is very similar to adding an internal link.
(To do this, you'll need to make sure you have some Lasso Links ready to go. If needed, please see this doc on how to add a link to Lasso.)
Once you have your desired Lasso Link(s), head on over to your post editor. Then:
Highlight the text you'd like to monetize.
Click the icon you normally use to insert a link.
Start typing the name of your Lasso Link.
Select the name of the link you'd like to add.
Then you're all set!
Note: When you're searching for a link, there will be a Lasso identifier to the right of the link. That's how you know you're adding the right link. 😉
In Classic Editor, you'll see "Lasso" beside the link name:
In Gutenberg Editor, you'll see "lasso-urls" beside the link name:
Adding Displays
The process for adding displays to your post depends on the type of editor you're using. Whichever platform you're on, it'll always be easy!
Adding Displays with Classic Editor
To add a Display in the Classic Editor, click the cactus icon in the post editor.
This will bring up a pop-up modal prompting you to choose your Display type.*
If you choose a Single, Image, or Button Display, it will pull up a list of all your Lasso Links, like this:
If you choose Grid, List, or Gallery, it will show all of your available Groups. And if you choose Table, you'll see all of your specific Table options.
Clicking the "Add" button will add the shortcode to your post. Once that's done, you'll see the desired Display when you preview the post or view it live.
Adding Displays with Gutenberg Editor
The process for Gutenberg is very similar to Classic. But much like Gutenberg as a whole, you have more preview options.
In the Gutenberg editor, create a new Lasso Block. You may have to search for "Lasso" to get it to appear the first time.
From there, it works the same way as the Classic editor:
Click the block to engage the Lasso Display modal.
Choose your display type, then the Product, Group, or Table.
This will add a Lasso Block with the Lasso shortcode, and you'll be able to see a preview of exactly what it will look like.
NOTE: If you're seeing your Amazon links getting cloaked in the Gutenberg editor, don't worry. In Gutenberg editor, we can't change the permalink to an Amazon link because WordPress doesn't support it. But after you update the post, the permalink will be changed to an Amazon link.
