Allow Duplicate Destinations Toggle: What It Does and When to Use It

This feature comes in handy if you're linking to tons of products across multiple affiliate networks.

By default, Lasso will alert you about and prevent duplicate links. We will base this off of the final URL, the page that shows in the browser once all redirects have finished.

Enabling Allow Duplicate Destinations stops this scan and will allow you to add links that point to the same product.

This is Lasso's default because it prevents you from linking to the same product multiple times.

Example:

Let's say you want to promote your favorite sneakers at example-shoe-store.com/favorite-shoes.

You find that store in ShareASale, grab your affiliate link for those shoes, and add the link to Lasso.

But wait! You had already linked to example-shoe-store.com/favorite-shoes in Lasso via an Impact affiliate link.

Lasso's default behavior will process your affiliate link and look at the final URL: example-shoe-store.com/favorite-shoes.

Even though you added two different affiliate links, Lasso will tell you that the product already exists. Now, you don't have to create a brand new Display. We've got your back like that. 😉

Most people won't need to change this setting. But sometimes, you may want to link to the same product at different stores.

If that's the case, you can go to Settings and flip that toggle to enable Allow Duplicate Destinations.

Then, Lasso will no longer scan for the final URL and will view duplicates only based on the link that you add to Lasso via the Primary Destination URL.
