Links
The Links tab lets you create affiliate links and access recently created links in one place.
It includes:
- Link Builder: Create new affiliate links
- Recent Links: View past links created using the app within the last 30 days.

To create an affiliate link:
- Select Link builder from the bottom navigation bar.
- Tap Create a new affiliate link.
- Search for or select one of your partnered advertisers.
- Tap the advertiser name, then select Next.

- Click reference: Label the link by platform or placement so you can see exactly where your traffic is coming from.
- Tap Create now.
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?
Your generated affiliate link appears in a pop-up window with:
- Product image
- Product name
- Long link version
- Shortened link version
To share the link directly through apps installed on your device, tap Share. To create another link, select Create another link.
Reuse saved links
Previously created links using the Awin app are automatically stored in Recent Links for 30 days. You can search for and reuse existing links without generating a new one.
Explore
Explore lets you find products from advertisers you already partner with. Products include affiliate links, so you can copy a tracking link and add it to your content without creating a link manually.
To find a product:
- Tap Explore in the bottom navigation bar.
- Search for a product or keyword in the search bar.
- Filter by region if needed. Your default region is selected automatically.
- Select the product to view its details, such as the product description, images, or a list of available advertisers
- Open the Your Partners tab and tap the copy icon to copy the tracking link.
You can compare other advertisers offering the same product by opening the More Advertisers tab. This shows available advertisers, product prices, and estimated commission rates.
Storefront
The Storefront feature lets you create a digital shop where you can curate all your recommended products in one place and share a single link with your audience. Instead of dropping individual links across multiple posts, you can give your audience one destination to browse everything you recommend.
You can use Storefront to create:
- "Link in bio" destination
- Seasonal collections (e.g. gift guides, summer picks)
- Niche curations (e.g. home office setups, skincare routines)
To set up your Storefront:
- Select Storefront from the navigation bar.
- Select Edit Storefront to personalize your shop. Add a profile image, social media handles, and other details.
- Create a collection and add products using any of the following methods:
- Search: Find products from advertiser you're partnered with. Your partnered advertisers' products load automatically, and you can filter by advertiser to narrow results.
- Recent Links: Select from affiliate links you have previously created in the app within the last 30 days.
- Link Builder: Generate an affiliate link on the spot by entering the product URL. Use this method to add products not available through search.
- 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 browse your collections and click through to buy.
If you would like to update your Storefront, click Edit Storefront, make your changes, and select Publish again to push updates live.
You can also manage your collections by renaming, reordering, or deleting them as needed.
