In most cases, you do not need to manually update your links when a merchant changes affiliate networks. Skimlinks technology automatically detects these changes and reroutes your traffic to the new active program to ensure your commissions are protected.
How Automated Rerouting Works
- Automatic Detection: Our system monitors network changes daily. When a brand moves to a new supported network, we update the link logic in the background.
- No Manual Work: Your existing affiliate links will continue to function and earn commission without you having to change a single URL on your site.
When to Take Action
- Program Closures: If a merchant leaves all affiliate networks entirely and no longer has an active program, the link will become "unmonetized."
- Exclusive Rates: If you had a custom rate on the old network, you may need to re-negotiate with the merchant on the new network.
Verifying your Tracking
- Check your Reports: You can verify that tracking is active by looking at your Performance by Merchant report. If you see clicks and revenue for the brand, the rerouting is working correctly.
