# How to Generate Affiliate Links That Open E-Commerce Apps

## Standard affiliate links often open a retailer’s website instead of the mobile app, which can lead to abandoned purchases and lost commissions. URLgenius allows you to convert affiliate links into deep links that open the retailer’s app directly.

#### Steps

### 1. Paste your affiliate URL

Copy your affiliate link and paste it into the URLgenius link generator.

Example sources:

- Amazon Associates
- Walmart Affiliate
- Target Affiliate

### 2. Compose your deep link

Select **Compose** to generate the deep link.

URLgenius will automatically configure:

- iOS app routing
- Android app routing
- Web fallback behavior

### 3. Test the link

Before using the link in a campaign:

Test by:

- Scanning the QR code
- Sending the link to your phone
- Opening it from a social app

### 4. Download a QR code (optional)

Every link automatically generates a QR code that opens the same destination.

### 5. Monitor analytics

URLgenius provides metrics including:

- App opens
- Device type
- Referring sources

#### Best Practices

Use branded domains when possible to increase click-through rates.
