Lasso makes it easy to increase your affiliate earnings by helping you automatically earn bonus commissions through Affiliate+. This process ensures that you’ll earn 3-5x bonus commissions on the products you’re already promoting without making any changes to your posts and content.


What Are Exact-Match Opportunities?

Exact-match Opportunities are products that already exist on your site that are identical to a product included in our Affiliate+ Marketplace.

Lasso AI automatically determines that the product, brand, and product specifications all match exactly. These are products you're promoting and are earning base Amazon commissions for, but you could promote them through Affiliate+ to earn a larger commission on top of your existing Amazon earnings.


How Do Automatic Exact-Match Opportunities Work?

Lasso uses a JavaScript snippet to detect links on your website that exactly match products in our Affiliate+ Marketplace. When a match is found, the link is automatically upgraded to include bonus commissions.

This upgrade doesn't change the Primary Destination URL in Lasso and doesn't change the URL that's included in your text links and product displays within your posts.

All that happens is a bonus attribute is attached to the end of the link. Your existing Amazon tracking ID is still included. This way, Amazon can attribute your normal commissions to your Amazon account, and Lasso can attribute the bonus commissions to your Affiliate+ account.

Your readers will still see the same product link, but you’ll be earning more when they click and buy. All without changing a thing - it's free money!


How to Enable Auto-Upgrades for Exact-Match Opportunities

There are two options

Option 1: Install the Lasso WordPress Plugin

🚀 This option works whether you're on a Free plan or a paid plan. All you need is a WordPress site.

1. First, ensure you're running Lasso Pro v328 or Lasso Lite v127 (or higher). If you haven't installed Lasso yet:

2. Navigate to WordPress > Lasso > Settings > Amazon.

3. Ensure 'Auto-upgrade Eligible Links' is toggled on. It should be on by default.

4. Hit 'Save Changes' at the bottom of the Settings page.

That's it! The auto-upgrades will run in the background. You won’t have to make any additional changes—just wait for your bonus commissions to roll in. 💸

Option 2: Use the Lasso JavaScript Snippet

🚀 Don't use WordPress? No problem! This option will work for any site that allows JavaScript snippets.

You can find detailed instructions for installing the JavaScript snippet right here.

Once the snippet is installed, you're all set! The auto-upgrades will run in the background. You won’t have to make any additional changes—just wait for your bonus commissions to roll in. 💸


FAQS

How do I get paid?

You'll receive commissions from Amazon like normal. Bonus Affiliate+ commissions will be paid by Lasso. Learn more about how payments work and how to set up payment information here.

Can I use exact-match Opportunities even if I'm not part of Amazon Associates?

Yes! The Affiliate+ bonus commission is separate from the Amazon Associates commission. You can use exact-match Affiliate+ Opportunities to earn bonus commissions even if you're not part of Amazon Associates.

Will I still earn my Amazon commissions?

Yes! Affiliate+ earnings are paid on top of Amazon commissions. Your tracking ID will stay attached to your link regardless of whether or not an exact-match Opportunity is found. If one is found, we'll add an additional attribute to it after it's clicked. This way, Amazon can see your tracking ID and credit your commissions normally. Plus, Lasso will be able to credit you for your Affiliate+ commissions.

Do I have to use automatic exact-match Opportunities?

No. The 'Auto-upgrade Eligible Links' toggle is on by default because it earns you more money. But, you can toggle it off at any point. Hit 'Save Changes' at the bottom of the Settings page once you toggle it off. Then, Lasso won't upgrade your exact-match Opportunities.
