DevDome Affiliate Manager – Amazon Affiliate Links, Auto Tagging & Link Monitor

Amazon Affiliate Link Manager for WordPress

DevDome Affiliate Manager helps WordPress publishers manage, optimize and monitor Amazon affiliate links from one dashboard.

Automatically add your Amazon Associates tracking IDs, localize Amazon links for international visitors, find dead or out-of-stock product links, recover broken affiliate links, track clicks and automatically create affiliate links from keywords.

Built for blogs, affiliate websites, product review sites and WooCommerce stores using Amazon Associates.

Automatically Tag Amazon Affiliate Links

Add your Amazon Associates tag once and automatically apply it to Amazon links across your WordPress site.

You can:

• Auto-tag existing and new Amazon affiliate links
• Set different Amazon Associates IDs for supported Amazon stores (22 marketplaces)
• Apply tags sitewide or create rules for individual posts, pages and categories
• Automatically add rel="nofollow sponsored"
• Open affiliate links in a new tab
• Create tagged Amazon buttons from an ASIN or custom Amazon URL

No need to manually edit every Amazon link when you change or add an affiliate tracking ID.

Amazon Geo Localization

Send international visitors to the appropriate Amazon marketplace while keeping your affiliate tracking tag.

Add your affiliate IDs for the Amazon stores you use and DevDome Affiliate Manager can automatically localize qualifying Amazon links based on the visitor’s country.

This provides an alternative way to handle Amazon link localization directly from WordPress.

If no affiliate tag is configured for the visitor’s local Amazon store, the original Amazon link is preserved.

Geo localization requires a connected DevDome account with geo routing included in its plan. Details are in the External services section below.

Amazon Link Monitor

Find broken Amazon affiliate links before they waste clicks and commissions.

Link Radar scans your WordPress content and WooCommerce external products for Amazon links and monitors product availability.

Amazon links can be classified as:

• Live
• Out of stock
• 404 / unavailable

Run link checks manually or enable scheduled monitoring. Link checks run through the hosted DevDome service and require a connected DevDome account, which is free to create.

Dead Amazon Link Recovery

Amazon products disappear, go out of stock and change constantly.

DevDome Affiliate Manager can automatically recover dead affiliate traffic instead of sending visitors to useless product pages.

Depending on the link status, you can send visitors to:

• A relevant live replacement product
• An Amazon search results page
• The original destination

A bulk Replace ASIN tool also lets you replace broken Amazon products directly from the WordPress dashboard.

Amazon Affiliate Click Tracking

Amazon clicks can route through the plugin’s /go redirect endpoint so you can measure affiliate-link activity from WordPress.

Track:

• Total affiliate clicks
• Unique clicks
• Link performance
• Amazon product activity

The redirect validates Amazon destinations and prevents the endpoint from becoming an open redirect. Unique-click counts use a temporary pseudonymous fingerprint (a hash of the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent, kept for 30 minutes); the raw IP address and user agent are not stored by the click statistics.

Keyword Auto-Linker

Automatically turn selected words and phrases into Amazon affiliate links.

Create keyword rules with:

• Exact or flexible matching
• Per-page link limits
• Automatic Amazon tagging
• Existing-link exclusions
• Heading and code exclusions

This can help monetize older WordPress content without manually adding affiliate links to every article.

WooCommerce Amazon Affiliate Links

Using WooCommerce external or affiliate products?

DevDome Affiliate Manager can automatically route WooCommerce external product buttons through the affiliate-link system and apply the correct Amazon Associates tag.

Click Protection

Prevent known bots and automated crawlers from generating misleading affiliate click statistics.

Click Protection uses a built-in bot list and does not require an external bot-detection service.

Amazon Mobile App Opener

Optionally help mobile visitors open Amazon product links in the Amazon app when supported.

Android visitors can use the Amazon app intent, while supported iOS in-app browser situations can offer an Open in Safari option.

AI and Agent Support

On WordPress 6.9 and newer, DevDome Affiliate Manager registers WordPress Abilities covering the plugin: every setting (read and update, including tags, auto-linker rules, exclusions and the buy button), adding and removing a tag or a rule, the Link Radar overview, the dead and out-of-stock list, links by status, the account quota, the link scan, the status check, the ASIN replacement, the bot-counter reset and the per-tag click reset. Compatible AI agents and MCP clients can discover and use these abilities when the site exposes them, for example through the official WordPress MCP Adapter. Every ability runs the same code as the plugin screen under the same administrator capability; the ASIN replacement, removing a tag or a rule and the counter reset require an explicit confirmation and are annotated destructive; turning on geo-localization or the scheduled checks, or turning click protection off, requires a confirmation too; agent output never carries e-mail addresses, the site token or server paths. For an unconnected site no ability contacts DevDome except the status check and the quota read you invoke on purpose.

Built for Amazon Associates Publishers

DevDome Affiliate Manager combines the functions normally handled by several separate WordPress affiliate tools:

• Amazon affiliate link manager with Associates auto tagging
• Amazon geo localization
• Amazon link checker and dead link monitor
• Broken affiliate link recovery
• Affiliate click tracker
• Keyword auto linker and WooCommerce affiliate links

Manage your Amazon affiliate links from one WordPress plugin while keeping control over which features you enable.

DevDome Affiliate Manager is an independent project. Amazon, Amazon Associates and OneLink are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates. This plugin is not endorsed by, sponsored by or otherwise affiliated with Amazon.

External services

Plugin catalog (devdome.com). The DevDome Dashboard inside wp-admin fetches the list of DevDome plugins (names, descriptions, logos, links, WordPress.org slugs) from https://devdome.com/wp-plugins/catalog.json at most once every 12 hours, so the list stays current. Only the bundled core version is sent in the request; no site or visitor data. Service provider: DevDome. Terms: https://devdome.com/terms-of-service Privacy policy: https://devdome.com/privacy-policy

This plugin talks to the DevDome server at https://api.devdome.com for the features that need data a plugin cannot ship (a geo-IP database, an Amazon status checker). API keys stay on the server; you never paste one.

Link Radar status checks, https://api.devdome.com/amazon-404-oos-checker

/check-batch sends the Amazon ASINs found by your link scan, with each one’s Amazon domain, to classify them as live / out of stock / 404. It runs when you press Check Now, and on the Link Radar schedule only while automatic re-scans are enabled; a fresh install that has never scanned makes no request.

/search sends a product keyword (built from the product’s title or metadata) to find a live replacement product. It is used by the bulk Replace ASIN tool and, when you enable per-status dead-link recovery, at click time. No visitor data is in either request.

Both are part of the hosted Link Radar service and require a connected DevDome account. Creating the account costs nothing: each request carries this site’s domain and secret token so the service can meter usage. The free plan includes 500 checks + searches per month per account; paid plans raise the limit (20,000 / 50,000 / 100,000, see devdome.com/pricing). The plugin shows your live usage meter on its settings screen. When the site is not connected or the monthly limit is reached, the service answers with an error and the plugin simply leaves link statuses unchanged, so nothing on your site breaks.

Geo-localization, https://api.devdome.com/geo-resolve

Off by default. When you enable it, each /go click sends the visitor’s IP address and the destination ASIN/domain, plus this site’s domain and secret token, so the server can pick the visitor’s local Amazon store from the stores you have a tag for. The IP is used for the country lookup only and cached briefly. Enable this feature only if you want visitor IPs used for country detection. Geo store-routing is part of the hosted DevDome service and is free with a connected DevDome account; without one, visitors simply keep the original link.

DevDome account, https://api.devdome.com/plugin/account, /plugin/disconnect and https://analytics.devdome.com/api/plugin/connect/*

Made by the shared DevDome library bundled with every plugin in the suite, and never before you have acted: until you press a Connect button, save an Account ID or complete a connection, no account request is made. The account check is a POST carrying this site’s domain and its secret token, answered with the Account ID and account email address the token belongs to. Starting a connection (the Connect button) is a POST with the same two fields plus the wp-admin address to return you to; completing it is a POST with the same two fields plus the one-time request token and its nonce of that connect attempt. Disconnect is a POST with the same two fields, sent only when you press Disconnect. Pressing Connect registers a short-lived connect request (/api/plugin/connect/start, a POST with the site domain and token) and, after you authorize on devdome.com, the plugin collects the resulting Account ID server-to-server (/api/plugin/connect/claim, same fields plus the request handle); the Account ID and token never travel in your browser’s URL. https://devdome.com/connect/ is a link you click, not a request the plugin makes: your browser goes there to sign in and comes back.

Amazon

At click time the /go endpoint requests the destination server-side from Amazon (a HEAD request, GET when HEAD is refused) and follows its redirects (up to seven hops, Amazon hosts only), so a shortlink (amzn.to, a.co, …) or a redirecting product URL resolves to the final product page that is then validated and tagged. The result is cached for 12 hours per destination. Only the destination URL is requested with a generic user agent; no visitor data is sent to Amazon by the plugin.

This service is provided by Amazon.com, Inc.: Conditions of Use, Privacy Notice.

Error reports, https://devdome.com/api/plugin/error-report

Only when you press “Report this error” under a failure message. The report carries the plugin name and version, the shared library version, the WordPress and PHP versions, whether the site is a multisite, the site language, this site’s domain and site id, the DevDome account id when the site is linked, the admin screen the error appeared on, the error text shown to you, the plugin’s recent log lines for that error, and the site’s administration e-mail address so support can reply. Nothing is sent without that click.

Not contacted on this WordPress.org build

The bundled shared library also references endpoints this build never calls: the https://api.devdome.com/bot-protection/ signature feeds (Click Protection here uses the plugin’s built-in bot list; no feed is fetched and no feed cron is scheduled) and https://api.devdome.com/plugin-updates/ (self-hosted updates, disabled here; updates come only from WordPress.org).

Never sent, in any request

• Passwords and password hashes.
• Visitor form input, names or email addresses.
• Post, page, comment or any other WordPress content: the link scanner runs locally, and only the extracted ASINs leave the site. The one exception is the replacement search described above: while dead-link recovery is on, up to six words built from the linking post’s title (or its product metadata) are sent as the search keyword.

Source & build

All PHP and JavaScript in this plugin ship human-readable. The admin screen bundle (assets/admin/index.js / index.css) is compiled with Vite from the JSX source included in this plugin at admin-ui-src/src/, and is deliberately built without minification, so the shipped file is the readable, running code. The stylesheet is likewise unminified.

To rebuild the bundle from source: cd admin-ui-src, then npm install and npm run build. The build writes index.js and index.css into assets/admin/. The bundle inlines its npm dependencies, whose exact versions are pinned in admin-ui-src/package-lock.json: React and ReactDOM (MIT), and Lucide React (ISC); react-dom’s production build contains pre-compressed code from the upstream npm package.
