Affiliate Products: Turn the Gear You Recommend Into Passive Income

Every breeder answers the same questions before a puppy goes home. What food should we buy? Which crate? What training program do you trust?

You give those answers away for free, over and over. With Affiliate Products, the newest addition to BreederBuddy, those same answers can start paying you back.

Your Recommendations, on Every Buyer Portal

Add your affiliate links once, and BreederBuddy turns them into a Recommended Gear section on every buyer portal. Your picks show up with official brand logos, your own words about why you recommend each one, and grouping by category so the whole thing reads like a going-home checklist: food, crate, training, health.

Buyers already trust your judgment. Now the answer to "what should we buy?" is one tap away, sitting right next to their invoices and contracts.

And because the section only appears once you add products, nothing changes for breeders who skip it.

Start With the Programs Breeders Actually Use

Not sure where to begin? The built-in starter catalog covers the popular breeder affiliate programs:

• Amazon Associates for one storefront link covering the entire going-home list
• Life's Abundance for the food your puppies were raised on
• NuVet, pawTree, BAXTER & Bella, Trupanion, and Chewy

Pick a program you belong to, paste your personal link, and the title, description, category, and brand logo fill in for you. Adding your first product takes about a minute. You can swap in your own product photos any time.

Tracked Clicks, Honest Numbers

Every product gets a tracked BreederBuddy link. When a buyer taps it, the click is counted the moment it happens, then they land on your affiliate page like normal.

The Affiliate Products dashboard shows:

• Click activity over time, on a live chart
• Where clicks come from: buyer portals, your website, or links you copied into emails and social posts
• Product performance, so you know which recommendations your buyers actually act on

No inflated promises here. Affiliate programs pay you directly, and BreederBuddy shows you real click counts, not made-up earnings estimates.

Log the Payouts With Other Income

Affiliate Products ships alongside another new page: Other Income. It lives next to Invoices and Expenses, and it captures all the money that never had a home in your records before. Affiliate commissions. Cash stud fees. Referral checks. Merch sales.

When a commission arrives, hit Record Payout on the affiliate page and BreederBuddy pre-fills the entry for you. Everything rolls into your income report, so at tax time your books finally show your whole program, not just puppy sales.

Included on Every Paid Plan

Affiliate Products and Other Income are included on every paid BreederBuddy plan, and your buyers see a clear disclosure that you may earn a commission at no extra cost to them. Honest for buyers, profitable for you.

You built the trust. You did the research on every product you recommend. It's about time that work showed up in your books.

Start your free trial, add your first affiliate link, and let your buyer portal do the rest. No credit card required.
