The Facebook affiliate program is expanding to allow creators to include brand affiliate links directly in their content. The update enables creators to promote products from brands using trackable links within Facebook posts. The change aims to simplify affiliate marketing and improve monetization opportunities for creators using professional accounts on the platform.
Meta introduced new tools that allow creators to add affiliate links across different post formats. The Facebook affiliate program now supports links in Reels, videos, photos, and text posts. The new display format increases visibility for promoted products and makes affiliate links easier for viewers to access.
New Display Options for Affiliate Links
Meta updated how affiliate links appear in Facebook posts. Previously, creators usually added links in captions as standard URLs. These links often had limited visibility and fewer interactions.
The update integrates affiliate product links directly into the post interface. Links can now appear more prominently in the content layout. This change helps users quickly identify products that creators recommend.
Affiliate links may also appear in the comment section. Creators can highlight product recommendations within comments to provide additional placement for promotional links.
Automatic Detection in the Facebook Affiliate Program
Meta is also adding automated detection for affiliate links. The system can identify supported affiliate domains when creators include them in a post.
When the platform detects an affiliate link, Facebook may prompt creators to add a “paid partnership” label. This process helps ensure transparency in promotional content.
The system may also automatically populate some affiliate link details during post creation. This feature reduces the time required for creators to set up affiliate promotions.
How Creators Add Brand Links
Creators can add affiliate links during the publishing process. The option is available through the “earn money” feature in the post composer.
For Reels and video posts, creators can choose the “add product links” option while preparing the content. The same option is available for photo and text posts through the post settings.
The expanded Facebook affiliate program is rolling out to Facebook Pages and Professional Profiles. Businesses, influencers, and other creators with professional accounts can access these tools to promote brand products and earn commissions from purchases generated through affiliate links.
