An algorithm regularly adjusts your shop compensation according to the performance of your affiliate links. In addition to the performance, the click compensation also depends on the shop regulations. The exact amount varies from shop to shop and from time to time.

It is not allowed to click more than once on your own links. Our algorithm recognises click fraud in the form of manual as well as automated clicks. This behaviour has consequences ranging from downgrades in compensation to the locking of your account.

We're constantly working on new cooperations with new shops. However, some partners do not sell their products via social media platforms like stylink. This is also the reason why you won't find them in your linkmaker. However, if you are particularly missing a certain shop, you are welcome to let us know by sending a message to our support team and we will do our best to ensure that you can hopefully see it in your linkmaker soon.

Our algorithm has evaluated your performance (the amount of clicks & sustainable purchases) and decided to set your click compensation to 0. Therefore, you can no longer see this/these shop/s in your Linkmaker anymore.

There might be a few reasons for this difference.

• Our system is designed to ignore multiple clicks from the same device and foreign clicks. We only count clicks from your followers in the United Kingdom, Jersey, and Ireland because the Stylinks you create are only available in these countries.
• It also takes 24 to 48 hours until all your links have been updated on your Linkmake.
• The clicks that we count are those that happen in the "intermediate window with the pink round button," not on your social media account. The intermediate window helps us track and confirm your unique clicks as well as your sales. To optimise your commission on each click, your IOS-using followers must click through the intermediate page. This means they must click the pink button.

  Once the button is clicked, your follower will be instructed to press and hold the button. Upon completion, your follower will be taken to the product's landing page. This will help you align your stylink stats with your Instagram stats.

  On the intermediate page, you have the option to include an image. This will help your followers feel more confident about the link they clicked. This image comes from your stylist. To update your stylist picture, click here.

Don't worry, updating your statistics can take up to 48 hours.
Once your statistics have been updated, they may differ from your Instagram insights. This is because foreign or double clicks are not counted.
Our system needs some time to evaluate and count your links. Thus, you can usually see your commission and click figures about 48 hours after you have posted a link.

You can view the clicks in your stylink account. To do so, log in at stylink.com, click on „Compensation“ and you will be taken directly to your statistics. Here you will see your open commission as well as an overview of your links, including your clicks.

Updating the statistics usually takes up to 24 hours.
