Missing Amazon tracking ID
Symptoms of a missing or wrong tracking ID, how to set it, and which posts pick up the new one.
If your Amazon tracking ID isn't set, or the wrong one is saved, links still post — they just don't earn you anything. Here's how to spot it and fix it.
Check these in order
- Open Settings → Amazon and check what's saved. If nothing is set, links EverySqueeze builds have no tracking ID on them at all.
- Confirm it's a Store ID, not an Influencer ID. Your Store ID is the one EverySqueeze wants — it sits in the top-right corner of affiliate-program.amazon.com when you're signed in, and looks like
yourname-20. Your Influencer ID starts with ONAMZ and belongs to a different program (the Amazon Live / Storefront side); pasting that one in by mistake is the most common setup error and it will not tag your links correctly. - Set or correct it in Settings → Amazon.
- If links still look untagged after saving, check when the post went out and how its link starts. Posts already scheduled use the new ID when they go out, so leave your queue alone. A live link that starts with everysqueeze.com/r/ uses the new ID when tapped; one that starts with amazon.com keeps what it went out with. See Changing your tracking ID.
- Check Amazon's own requirement. Amazon Associates also requires you to list every social profile you post affiliate links on, under Associates → Account Settings → Websites and Mobile Apps. A missing listing there is an Amazon-side issue, not something EverySqueeze can fix from its end.
Still stuck?
Nothing is lost by a missing or wrong tracking ID — the posts themselves went out fine, only the credit was missing. Once you fix the ID, every post that goes out afterwards carries it, including the ones already scheduled. If new posts still go out untagged, use Report a problem (in Pip's menu or the Help button).
