How to use AffiliScan

1. Open AffiliScan on the Chrome Web Store and click Add to Chrome.
2. Click the puzzle icon at the top right of Chrome and pin AffiliScan, so its icon stays in your toolbar.
3. Click the AffiliScan icon and choose Sign in. You sign in with your Google account. It's free and takes a few seconds.

The same account works in the extension and on your dashboard at affiliscan.app.

This is done in the Chrome extension.

1. Open one of your videos on YouTube.
2. Click the AffiliScan icon. Stay on the Single Video tab.
3. Click Scan Description. AffiliScan finds every affiliate link in the description and checks each product.

You can close the window or switch tabs while it works. The results are also saved to your dashboard.

• OK: the product page works and the product can be bought.
• Unavailable: the page works, but the product is out of stock or can't be bought right now.
• Broken: the product page is gone. Shoppers who click it land on an error page.
• Redirected (dashboard only): the link no longer opens the product. It sends shoppers to a search page or the store's homepage instead.

This is done in the Chrome extension. Bulk scans are part of the Creator plan.

1. Click the AffiliScan icon and open the Bulk Scan tab.
2. Paste the address of your channel (for example youtube.com/@yourchannel) or a playlist, and click Scan.
3. AffiliScan reads up to the newest 1,000 videos. If there are more videos than your plan has left, Choose videos to scan lets you pick which ones.
4. When it's done, use Copy Links or Export CSV to take the results with you, or open your dashboard.

Your dashboard keeps every scan, from the extension and from scheduled scans. The menu on the left has:

• Overview: your Link Health Score, the totals (OK, broken, unavailable, redirected) and your latest scans. Click a total to show only those links. Use the search box to find a video, product or link.
• Links to fix: every broken or unavailable link from the latest scan of each video, in one list. This is your to-do list.
• Scan History: all your past scans.
• Check Links, Scheduled Scans, Restock alerts, Product watch and Analytics: explained below.

1. Open Links to fix on your dashboard.
2. Click Find replacement next to a link. AffiliScan searches the store for the same or a similar product.
3. Open the product you want and copy your own affiliate link for it. On Amazon, use the SiteStripe bar at the top of the product page (Get Link → Text).
   Tip: If the SiteStripe bar is missing or its button doesn't click: make sure you're signed in to your Amazon Associates account in the same browser, reload the product page, and try turning off ad blockers on Amazon.
4. Click Fix on YouTube. It opens that video's edit page in YouTube Studio. Paste the new link into the description and save.
5. Scan the video again. The fixed link disappears from Links to fix.

Product only out of stock? Instead of replacing it, click Notify me when back and we'll email you when it can be bought again (Creator plan).

Already fixed a link, or don't want to fix it? Click ✕ to remove it from the list. It comes back only if a new scan finds it broken again.

On the Check Links tab, paste one or more links (Amazon, amzn.to, geni.us, Walmart…), one per line, and check them straight away. Handy before you publish a new video.

No account yet? The free link checker lets anyone check a link.

Scheduled scans re-check your videos for you, every day or every week, and email you the results. They are part of the Creator plan.

1. Open Scheduled Scans on your dashboard.
2. Paste your channel or playlist address, and pick Daily or Weekly.
3. Click Choose videos and pick which videos to monitor. Your first scan starts when you save.

To watch just a few videos, use Single Video Scheduled Scans on the same tab and paste the video addresses. You can change your videos later with Edit videos.

• Restock alerts: the products you asked to watch. We email you when one is back in stock (Creator plan).
• Product watch: the price and rating history of the products you link to.
• Analytics: how your links change over time, as a chart and a table.

• Our alert emails have a link to Settings, where you can turn email alerts off.
• To change or cancel your plan, open Settings and use Manage subscription.
• You can delete your account in Settings. This removes your saved scans and data.

• Free: 5 scans a month with the Chrome extension.
• Creator: from $9 a month. More videos, bulk scans of channels and playlists, scheduled scans, and restock alerts. See pricing.

• Amazon on every Amazon store (amazon.com, .co.uk, .de, .fr, .it, .es, .ca, .com.au, .co.jp, .in, .com.br and more), plus amzn.to, amzn.com, a.co and link.amazon short links.
• Walmart product links and walmrt.us / goto.walmart.com short links.
• geni.us links: AffiliScan follows each one to the Amazon or Walmart product and checks that.

AffiliScan only opens public product pages, the same pages any shopper sees. It never signs in to your Amazon account and never changes your videos.
