Affiliate Products

Video walkthrough: Watch on Loom (link coming soon)
Affiliate Products lets you share the gear you already recommend — food, supplements, crates, insurance, training — using your own affiliate links. Buyers see your picks in their buyer portal and on your BreederBuddy website, and you can see which recommendations they actually click.

​
What You Can Do Here

  • Add products with your personal affiliate link, a photo, and why you recommend it
  • Start fast from a starter catalog of popular breeder affiliate programs
  • Show your picks as Recommended Gear on every buyer portal, grouped like a going-home checklist
  • Show a Products We Love page on your BreederBuddy website
  • Track clicks over the last 30 days and all time, and see where clicks came from
  • Copy a tracked link to share anywhere
  • Log commission payouts straight into Other Income

​
How It Works

​
Adding a Product

  1. Click Affiliate Products in the left menu.
  2. Click the Add product button in the top right. The Add affiliate product window opens.
    • Shortcut: scroll down to the Starter catalog section and click Add my link on a program you belong to. The title, program, description, and category fill in for you. (Not a member yet? Click Program site to sign up with that program first.)
  3. Fill in the details:
    • Title (required)
    • Program / merchant — the affiliate program paying you
    • Your affiliate link (required) — paste YOUR personal link. It must start with https://.
    • Category — Food, Crate & Home, Training, Health, Toys, or Other. This groups products on the buyer portal.
    • Why you recommend it — a sentence or two in your own voice
    • Product image — optional, but cards with a photo get more clicks. Starter catalog products show the brand’s logo until you add your own photo.
  4. Click Save at the bottom of the window. You’ll see a “Product added” message and a card for the product appears on the page. It’s now live on your buyer portals and website.

​
Managing Your Products

Each product card has these controls:
  • Copy tracked link (link icon) — copies a BreederBuddy link that sends people to your affiliate link and counts the click
  • Record a payout in Other Income (money-bag icon) — opens Add income on the Other Income page with the Affiliate Commission category and the program filled in
  • Move up / Move down (arrows) — changes the order products appear in
  • Toggle (bottom right of the card) — shows or hides the product from buyers without deleting it
  • Edit and Delete (bottom right of the card). Deleting asks you to confirm first.

​
Tracking Clicks and Payouts

The top of the page shows your number of Products, Clicks (30 days), and Recorded payouts. Below that:
  • Click activity charts clicks over time and splits them by Buyer portal, Website, and Copied links.
  • Product performance ranks your products by clicks and shows any payouts you’ve recorded for each.
  • Recent payouts lists the latest commissions you logged against these programs.
Until you add your first product, these panels show sample numbers marked Sample.

Tips & Common Questions

No — the affiliate program pays you directly. Click counts are for your information. When a payout arrives, use Record a payout in Other Income so your reports include it.
Yes — buyers see a note that you may earn a commission from these links, at no extra cost to them.
It appears on your BreederBuddy website (and in its menu) once you have at least one active product. Hide or delete all of your products and the page goes away.
It disappears from buyer portals and your website, and its tracked link stops working. Any payouts you already logged stay in Other Income. If you might use it again, turn off the toggle to hide it instead.
Affiliate Products is included on paid plans and during your trial. See Settings → Subscription for your current plan.
