Affiliate Automation FAQBefore you ask on Telegram.
Forty-five straight answers on accounts, networks, blast speed, WhatsApp, the Telegram Forwarder and pricing — the same questions we answer on the help bot every single day. No fine print, no "contact sales".
01 / GETTING STARTED
Accounts, setup & first steps.
Q1Do I need my own affiliate accounts?
Yes — and that's the entire point. You plug in your own Amazon tag, Flipkart ID,
Myntra ID and your EarnKaro, Admitad, Cuelinks and other network tokens, so every converted
link carries your ID. All commission tracks to your own network accounts and every
payout lands with you directly. Affiliaters is the automation layer, never a middleman
taking a cut.
Q2How long does setup take?
Minutes, not hours. Add your affiliate IDs, connect your Telegram channels and other
platforms, set your shortener, replacers and blacklist once — done.
From then on, every deal you convert or forward uses those settings automatically, forever.
Q3Do I need to keep my laptop or phone on?
No. Affiliaters runs in the cloud, 24×7. Close the laptop, put the phone on charge,
take a proper holiday — the Telegram Forwarder keeps watching your
source channels and posting converted deals while you're offline. The 2 AM loot doesn't wait
for you, and it doesn't have to.
Q4How fast does a deal actually go out?
One blast reaches every Telegram channel and WhatsApp group on your plan in seconds. End to end, a deal you share — or one the forwarder picks up from a source channel —
is typically live everywhere within seconds. Your deal is live while it's still hot.
02 / NETWORKS & STORES
Which shops & networks work.
Q5Which stores and networks does Affiliaters support?
Amazon.in, Flipkart and Myntra directly, plus deal networks like EarnKaro, Admitad, Cuelinks,
Shopsy and EarnPe — the live list is on the networks page. For short links you can use your own custom domain, Bitly or Cuttly.
Setup guides for each one live on the networks page and in the
docs.
Q6Do I need my own Amazon Associates account?
Yes. Affiliaters works with your own Associates tag — you add it once and every converted
link carries it. Clicks and orders show up in your Associates dashboard, payouts go directly to
you, and Affiliaters takes no cut.
Q7What is Amazon PA-API support?
PA-API is Amazon's official Product Advertising API. If you have your own PA-API keys, add
them in the dedicated Amazon API Settings section inside the app and Affiliaters uses them for clean
product data straight from Amazon — the right way to run Amazon link automation at scale.
Q8Does it handle amzn.to short links?
Yes. Send an amzn.to link — the kind SiteStripe and the Amazon app generate — and
Affiliaters resolves it to the full amazon.in product URL, applies your Associates tag and shortens it
again on your own domain, Bitly or Cuttly.
Q9Do I need my own Flipkart affiliate account?
Yes. Affiliaters converts links using your own Flipkart affiliate ID, so every commission
tracks straight to your Flipkart affiliate dashboard. We're the automation layer, not a middleman —
Affiliaters takes no cut of your earnings.
Q10Is Shopsy supported?
Yes. Shopsy, Flipkart's social-commerce platform, is one of the networks Affiliaters
supports. Shopsy links in your messages convert to your own affiliate links the same way Flipkart links
do.
03 / CONVERTING LINKS
Messages in, your links out.
Q11Does it work with whole messages, not just single links?
Yes. Send a full deal message — caption, emojis, price and multiple links from
different stores — and the converter swaps every link in place with your affiliate link. The
rest of the message stays exactly as you wrote it.
Q12Can one message contain links from multiple stores?
Yes. Send a whole deal message with Amazon, Flipkart and other store links mixed
together — the Link Converter tags all of them in one go, with a
toggle for convert-only or direct share. On the move? Convert straight from Telegram via
@AffiliatersBot.
Q13Where does the commission go?
100% to your own affiliate accounts. You plug in your own affiliate IDs and
tokens, so every converted link tracks to you. Affiliaters is the automation layer, not a
middleman — it takes no cut of your commission.
04 / TELEGRAM & THE FORWARDER
Channels, bots & hands-off posting.
Q14How many Telegram channels can I post to on each plan?
Every plan includes Telegram, and the number of channels goes up with the plan — the entry tier is
the starter and the top plan carries the highest limit. Groups count as destinations too, and one
blast covers all of them. The current per-plan limits are on the pricing page.
Q15Do I need my own Telegram bot to use Affiliaters?
No. The public converter bot — @AffiliatersBot —
works out of the box: send any link or deal message and the converted version comes straight back.
If you want a branded bot running under your own name for you and your team, the private bot is included from the second tier up.
Q16Can Affiliaters watch source channels and post deals automatically?
Yes — that's the Telegram Forwarder. You log in with your
own Telegram number (OTP login, 2FA supported), pick the source chats to watch, and it converts every
link and posts each deal to all your channels and groups 24×7, images included. It's included in the top plan and available as an addon on any other plan.
Q17How does the Telegram Forwarder log in?
With your own Telegram number — you enter it, receive an OTP, and accounts with
2FA are supported as well. Then you pick your source chats and the
Forwarder takes over: converts every link, applies your
Replacers, respects your Blacklist, forwards images and posts to all your channels and groups
automatically.
Q18Does it forward images too?
Yes. Deal images travel with every post, alongside the converted links,
your Replacer edits and your Blacklist rules — so your post looks like the source's,
minus their affiliate IDs.
Q19Is the Telegram Forwarder safe to use?
Straight answer: the Forwarder runs on your own Telegram account, so everything it
does, it does as you. That's what makes it powerful — and why we say use it responsibly. Follow
the forwarder
guide in the docs, pick sensible source channels, and let it quietly do its job.
06 / SHORT LINKS & WORDPRESS
Your domain & your blog.
Q25Can I use my own domain for short links?
Yes — branded short links on your own domain are a core feature, so every click
builds trust in your channel's name instead of a generic shortener. Prefer Bitly or
Cuttly? Both are supported too. Full setup on the
URL shortener page.
Q26Do Bitly and Cuttly work with Affiliaters?
Yes, both are supported out of the box. Connect your Bitly or Cuttly account
and Affiliaters shortens every converted link through it — no separate tool, no manual
round trip. You can switch to your own domain any time.
Q27What happens if a converted link doesn't open?
Affiliaters is in the path when a deal is posted, not when it's clicked.
An unshortened link goes straight from your reader's phone to Amazon or Flipkart with your tag on
it — our servers aren't involved in the click at all. Shortened links resolve through whichever
shortener you chose: your own domain (your hosting), Bitly or Cuttly — so if a short link ever
fails, check that service first. Either way your tag is on the link, and a click that never
reaches the store earns nobody anything — nothing gets redirected away from you. If deals stop
posting because our service is down, that's on us: see the
refund policy for how verified extended outages are handled.
Q28Which plans include the URL shortener?
All of them. The own shortener ships with every plan, entry tier included. It is not an addon, so branded links are
yours from day one. Full comparison on the pricing page.
Q29Can deals also go to my blog?
Yes — with WordPress auto-post, every deal
can also be published to your site as a blog post. It's included in the top plan, or an addon on any other plan. Free SEO traffic on the side while your channels do the
heavy lifting.
Q30Which plans include WordPress auto-post?
The top plan includes WordPress auto-post. On the smaller plans it's an addon — addons require an active base plan. Coupons apply inside the
dashboard.
Q31Do the WordPress posts use my affiliate links?
Yes. Every deal is converted first — tagged with your own affiliate IDs and
shortened on your domain (or Bitly / Cuttly) — and only then
published to your site. All commission tracks to your own accounts; Affiliaters takes no cut.
Q32Does WordPress auto-post work with the Telegram Forwarder?
Yes. Deals the Forwarder catches from your
source Telegram channels run through the same pipeline, so they can publish to your WordPress
site too — 24×7, even while you sleep. The Forwarder itself is included in the top plan or available as an addon.
07 / BROWSER EXTENSION
Converting on the product page.
Q33Does the extension cost extra?
No. It is free and it works with your existing Affiliaters account — the same
account, the same affiliate IDs, the same shortener. See plans for what the
account itself costs.
Q34Which shopping sites does it work on?
Amazon.in, Flipkart, Myntra, Croma and Shopsy — and nowhere else. Those five hosts
are the only ones the extension is allowed to touch, alongside the Affiliaters API it talks to.
Q35Which browsers can I install it on?
Chrome, Edge, Brave and Opera — any Chromium browser that can install from the
Chrome Web Store. There is no Firefox build. A Safari build for iPhone, iPad and Mac is in testing;
its privacy policy and terms are
already published.
Q36What does it collect?
Your login token, the product details on the page you are converting, and your own
settings — nothing else. No browsing history, no ads, no analytics SDKs. The full list is in the
extension privacy policy.
08 / PLANS & PAYMENT
Prices, addons & coupons.
Q37What do the plans cost?
Four plans, straight INR, paid by UPI with no autopay. The top plan has the Forwarder and WordPress
already included; the current prices are on the pricing page. Full
side-by-side comparison on the pricing page; coupons apply inside
the dashboard.
Q38Can I upgrade my plan later?
Yes. Start with the plan that matches your channel count today and move up a tier whenever you outgrow it. Your networks, shortener, replacers
and blacklist settings carry over; only your limits change.
Q39What do the addons need?
An active base plan. The Telegram Forwarder and the WordPress addon stack on top of a smaller plan — they are not standalone subscriptions. The top plan already includes both,
so it never needs them.
Q40Where do I apply a coupon?
Inside the dashboard. Log in at app.affiliaters.in,
open the pricing page at app.affiliaters.in/pricing,
pick your plan and enter the coupon there before paying. Coupons can't be applied on this website.
09 / SUPPORT
Humans, bots & the docs.
Q41Where do I get help?
Ping @AffiliatersHelpBot
on Telegram — a human answers — or email
support@affiliaters.in. Setup guides live at
docs.affiliaters.in,
and every way to reach us is on the contact page.
Q42Where do I ask pre-sales questions?
Same place as support: @AffiliatersHelpBot
on Telegram, or support@affiliaters.in. Worth a look at the
pricing page first — most "which plan do I need" questions are answered there.
Q43I found a bug — where do I report it?
The Telegram help bot, with your account email, your plan and a screenshot of what went
wrong. That combination usually gets it reproduced — and fixed — without another round of questions.
Q44Do you have documentation?
Yes — docs.affiliaters.in
covers setup for every network and feature, including a step-by-step
Telegram Forwarder guide.
The FAQ page handles the rest.
The other places deals land.
Q20Is WhatsApp posting guaranteed?
Q21How many WhatsApp groups can I post to?
Q22Which plans include WhatsApp automation?
Q23Do I need my own keys to post on X (Twitter)?
Q24Is Discord included in my plan?
