Note: If you cannot log in to the app, make sure you are using the latest app version available in your app store.
Using the app
Prerequisite: You must be partnered with at least one advertiser. To learn how to apply, see How do I join an advertiser programme?

The Links tab allows you to quickly create affiliate links and access recently created links in one place.
This tab includes:
- Link Builder: Create new affiliate links
- Recent Links: View your past links created from the app within the last 30 days

To create an affiliate link:
- Select Links from the bottom navigation bar.
- Tap Create a new affiliate link.
- Search for or select one of your partnered advertisers.

Tip: Use click references to tag links by platform (e.g. “InstagramStory”, “TikTokBio”) so you can track which channel drives the most clicks and conversions.
To learn about click references, see What is click reference and what can I use this for?

Reuse saved links
Previously created links using the Awin app are automatically stored in Recent Links for 30 days. You can search for previously created links or reuse existing links without generating a new one.
Explore
Explore allows you to browse products from advertisers you're already partnered with that come ready with affiliate links attached. Simply find a product you want to promote, copy its tracking link, and paste it into your content, with no manual link building required.
To use Explore:

- Enter a product name or keyword in the search bar.
- Filter by region if needed. Your default region is preselected.
- Tap the product name to view product details, such as the product description, images, or a list of available advertisers

- Estimated commission rates
You’ll also see instructions for applying to advertiser programs in the Awin platform.
Storefront
Storefront allows you to create a personalized digital shop where you can curate all your recommended products in one place and share it with your audience using a single link. Instead of dropping individual links across multiple posts, you can give your audience one destination to browse everything you recommend.
Popular Storefront uses:
- "Link in bio" destination
- Seasonal collections
- Niche curations
To set up your Storefront:
- Select the Storefront icon in the navigation bar.
- Select Edit Storefront to personalize your shop. Add a profile image, social media handles, and other details.
- Create a collection to start adding products. Use the search tool to find items from advertiser programs you’re partnered with.
- Manage your collections by renaming, reordering, or deleting them as needed.
- Edit products within a collection by reordering or removing items.
- Once you’ve added at least one product, select Publish to make your storefront live and shareable.
- Share your Storefront link with your audience. Anyone with the link can brose your collections and click through to buy.
- To update your Storefront, return to Edit Storefront, make your changes, and select Publish again to push updates live.
Performance
The Performance section gives you a quick, at-a-glance view of how your content is converting, so you can make informed decisions without digging through complex reports.
With Performance, you can:
- View clicks and transactions: See your total clicks and transactions across different regions and time periods without navigating complex reports.
- Monitor trends: Spot spikes or dips in performance and adjust your content and campaigns accordingly.
- Track commission and advertisers: Identify your highest-earning advertisers and optimise your activity using regional performance data.
The Performance tab loads automatically when you open the app, showing data from the last 7 days for your primary promotional region.
To navigate Performance:
- Change region: Select Region, then choose from the list.
- View your progress over time: Select More details to see clicks, transactions, and commission data from the last 7 days in numbers and graphs.
- Adjust the time period: Select Filter by time period, then choose 30 or 90 days.
Transaction and commission data includes both confirmed and pending amounts from all advertisers in the selected region.
Tip: Use the 7-day view to quickly check whether a recent content drove engagement before planning your next one. If a piece of content spiked your clicks, that's your signal to double down on that format or product category.
