Recommend productswith Picks
Use a Picks block to share products you love with your own affiliate links, and have your affiliate IDs added for you.
2 min readUpdated
A Picks block shows things you recommend, like your kit or favourite books, as a grid of cards with a picture, store, name and price. Each card opens your own affiliate link, so you can earn a commission from the store when people buy.
Hiyaly never adds its own tags to your links and takes nothing from your commissions.
Add a Picks block
- In the editor, choose Add a block, then Picks.
- Paste a product link and choose Add.
- Check the details: Name, Store or brand, Price (optional) and a Product picture. Some stores don't share a preview, so you may need to add the picture yourself. Square works best.
- Repeat for each product. Use a product's menu to Move earlier, Move later or delete it.
The block shows on your page once it has a product. Each block holds a set number of products, so add another Picks block if you need more. Hiyaly counts the clicks on each product.
Save your affiliate IDs
If you're in an affiliate programme, save your ID once and Hiyaly adds it to new product links for that store as you paste them.
- Open Settings › Earn › Affiliate programs.
- Under Your affiliate IDs, choose Add Amazon Associates tag. For any other programme, choose Add another store and fill in the Store website, the Link parameter it uses and Your ID.
- Choose Save ID.
The ID goes into the link field when you add a product, so you can see it, and a note tells you it was added. A link that already has that parameter is left as it is. Edit the link if you'd rather not use your ID on it.
The disclosure
Visitors always see a short line above your picks saying these are affiliate links and you may earn a commission. You can reword it under Settings › Earn › Affiliate programs › Disclosure, but you can't hide it. The links are also marked as sponsored for search engines.
