With Dynamic Alternative Hotlinks, you can turn content from a creator-approved website, like a specific checkout page or an exclusive offer—into a personalized sales link that includes your tracking code.
In this article, you'll learn how this tool works, get step-by-step instructions to generate your own dynamic links, and find out how cookie tracking works to ensure you receive your commissions.
What are Dynamic Alternative Hotlinks?
Dynamic links are tools given to affiliates to customize where their promotional campaigns lead.
Unlike traditional links, which only direct buyers to the main sales page or standard checkouts, the dynamic version lets you find relevant content within the creator's domain and send traffic directly to it.
How do I create my own dynamic link?
To set up your personalized link, just follow these steps:
- Log in to Hotmart at app.hotmart.com.
- In the left-side menu, click Products, then My Products, and select the I'm an Affiliate tab.
- Find and click the product you want to promote.
- In the top menu, click the Links Created by Me tab and click the Create Promotional Link button.
- In the domain field, you'll see a list of websites approved by the creator. Select the domain you want to use.
- In the URL field, paste the link of the creator's internal page you want to turn into a Hotlink.
- Give your link a clear name (this is essential for tracking your campaign metrics) and click Save.
This customization option will only be visible if the creator has enabled domains for affiliates, as explained in this article.
How does commission tracking work on alternative pages?
As soon as a potential buyer clicks your custom Dynamic Hotlink, a cookie is saved in their browser.
If they browse the creator's external page, click a button for Plan A or Plan B, and buy any of those offers within the cookie's expiration period, the system tracks your referral and credits you with the commission.
