Reconnecting...
You will need an Amazon.com (US) associates account to get stared, as the initial set up will be done there.
To set up OneLink, you will need an Amazon.com Associates account. The Amazon.com Associates account is where you will do your initial setup for OneLink; to apply for an Amazon.com Associates account, visit the following link: associates-program.amazon.com.
You will also need an Amazon.co.uk Associates account, or Amazon.ca for Canada. To sign up for Amazon.co.uk, click here: https://affiliate-program.amazon.co.uk
Get logged into your US Amazon Associates account.
As of right now, you will see "new: launching one link" at the top right under your store ID.
Please excuse the sloppy arrows during this tutorial. For the sake of time, I'm just using my snipping tool! :)
Go ahead and click on that and you will be taken to the getting started/introduction to Amazon One Link Page.
Click the Link your accounts link and you will see the page below.
Select which geography you want to link to your US store ID. You will go through the linking and verification process separately for each region.
If you do not already have a UK or Canada store, this is where you will be prompted to create a new account for each region you wish to link.
We won't go through that process here. It's basically filling in some info concerning your site. It' similar to when you created your US store.
Click on a geography and you will see the page below.
Copy your new store ID for the region you are linking and paste it into the box, then go ahead and click the link store button.
At this point, you will see a four digit verification number. Amazon is going to request your phone number.
When the Amazon robot calls, it will ask you to enter the 4 digit number.
Enter the 4 digit number in your phone.
If all goes well, you will see your status change to a green "verified."
Next up, we will tackle the scary part...Inserting the code. :)

How can you check if your Amazon Associates OneLink code is working?
I inserted the OneLink code in my footer, and have been inserting .com Amazon Associate links throughout my page, but whenever I click on the links (when I am not logged into my Associates account) to check if it's working, all of the links send me to the .com site (not the .ca site, even if I'm located in Canada).
When I then click "Shopping from Canada," it redirects me to the .ca site but I think the referral is then dropping. I've tried the "link tracker" feature through Amazon Associates, but it says my link is invalid, which leads me to assume it is not an affiliate link when I am redirected to the .ca site.
Any help would be very very much appreciated.
Thanks!

To check if Amazon OneLink is working, you need to look in your Amazon account. Go to TOOLS > ONELINK, and it should say "VERIFIED" by each country you successfully linked: https://www.screencast.com/t/eVY7OdN9dmm

Hello Jeremy and thanks for your tutorial.
I would like to ask you a question, if you do not mind: that you know does OneLink go for any Amazon affiliate links or only e.g. for Text or SiteStripe links?
I am asking you this because - on paper - I have successfully added the code, but when I click on any of my Amazon affiliate links I am not getting re-directed. I keep seeing the Us store.
Please note that 99% of my amazon links are Native Ads.
Thank you very much in advance for your time and reply.

hi Andrea -- that's a bit of a conundrum question -- not too sure on the techie details on links, however, Jay has been discussing e-commerce throughout this month of November and you might find some helpful hints -- especially Nov.2nd or Nov.16th sessions...and perhaps you've already checked into the woo-commerce--WP plug-ins for your site....

Hello Keisha, thanks for your reply and kudos to your friendly attitude!
After a few hours of tinkering, I asked a Canadian friend to click on some of my Amazon affiliate links.
She said she was still directed to .com but she was shown delivery to Canada.
What I need to understand now is if that is the way it actually works or if the domain extension has to change (e.g .com becomes .ca).
My understanding was a Canadian visitor had to be redirected to the Canadian store.

Hi Jeremy,
thanks for the training. I've got two questions, maybe you know the answers:
If I get rejected for one country (CA) because I haven't made sales, but am making sales with another, (US) do I then have to change all the links after re-applying for the other country (CA)?
Does One Link also work for Facebook shop? If so, how?
Thank you to anyone who can answer these questions. :)

Tried this on my theme but it seems to be different - story of my life is what I have is not what others show.
Anyway I got clever and changed the theme, inserted the code as described here. Received a confirmation that it was done and then reverted back to my original theme (which I happen to like)
But not sure if it is there.
Anyway of checking?

Tried that but I don't get the Footer part - there is nothing on the right hand side like other themes.
I am using Life Style which is a baby theme to Omega.
The entire editor comes up in the main body under headings and looks nothing like the others.
Bit scary to mess with it.

Try using a plugin instead. I just used "header and footer scripts". Makes the job much easier. This way your not messing with the code yourself also.

This training is a life-saver. I had applied for UK and CA affiliate accounts a couple months ago but hadn't added any code to my site for it.
I forgot that you had to integrate the code and I've been getting quite a big portion of traffic from the UK.

The links should automatically update as long as they are linked in Amazon.

Hi Jeremy, here I am again to ask you a quick question. I still cannot get this OneLink to work for the life of me and it is driving me crazy. I was wondering if there is anyway to cancel it, unlink and do it again. Have you got any idea at all.
I have tried AdInserter even but that isn't working either so not sure what to do now. Obviously when I did it the first time it was correct and I must have missed the part where I put in what I wanted it to say or I would have been ok. xxxx

Hey Cheryl.
Did you notice any redirected traffic?
I'm a little confused with "what I wanted it to say". What you wanted what to say?
As far as starting over, I don't see why not. I would contact Amazon via email, or call them and get their take on the situation.
Also, as MsMerry stated, the implementation of One Link needs to be initiated from the US store.

Hi Jeremy, thanks for getting back to me. When I first did this I obviously did it correctly as the link went in where it should but it should not have been the code showing. What does yours say at the bottom and how did you get it to say that? Merry was speaking about after it has been verified a box should pop up and that was what I was referring to when I said about it saying what I wanted it to say.

Now since I am living in the UK, my bank details are UK based. Does that make any difference?
And can you please explain why am I not able to see anything related to US or Canada traffic under "Link Type Performance" on my Amazon UK account?

Hey Haider,
As I explained earlier, it truly is best that you contact your Amazon Associate support staff regarding your banking details with them.
As for your links not sending you to US or Canada ... the OneLink links are coded to distinguish which country the clicker (you) live in by your IP address. So ... if you live in the UK and you click on ANY OneLink Amazon affiliate link (yours or anyone else's) it will show you the UK products.
Hope this answers your question.

Hey Trish!
Thanks for jumping in.
Great explanation :)
Haider:
How long have you had One Link set up?
Amazon analytics are only reported every 24 hours, so if you just set it up you won't see anything yet.
Also, how do you know for certain that anyone who needed to be redirected clicked your links? Your redirected traffic will show as "global redirected traffic", not necessarily giving you the specific region it was redirected from.

I actually signed up for Amazon UK first and got to know about OneLink afterwards. So, I created Amazon US and Amazon Canada accounts and got the OneLink set up then.
But since I had already my bank details entered on Amazon UK (the account that I had created before other Amazon accounts), my earnings are in GBP there. However, I am not sure if the OneLink is working fine as I haven't got any sale from outside the UK so far!!!
If you have any other queries or suggestions, please do share :)

Did you set up OneLink through Amazon US or were you given an option to do it with the Amazon UK account?
Because in Amazon Canada (the one I want as my main account) I wasn't given OneLink option so I had to do it through Amazon US. I'm just wondering if it was the same for you.
Also, should I set up my payment information first with Amazon Canada if I want that to be my primary account? I set up Amazon US first but now I have all US, Canada and UK accounts.
Is there a way to make one account the main one if I didn't set up with that one first?

Yes, I set up the OneLink through Amazon US as other Amazon accounts don't give you the OneLink option!
As for the payment information, I think it has to be set up with your home account (Amazon Canada in your case) as I also did it for my UK account only. To be honest, I am also not 100% clear on this and would like to request anybody from the community to explain further, if possible :)
P.S. To test the OneLink, you can share your site URL (if you want) and I can test it for you while being in the UK and see if I am directed to Amazon Canada or Amazon UK. Hope that helps!

OK. So I can't for the life of me figure out how you got the code to show up like that. It almost looks like an arbitrary footer text widget that wasn't entered in text mode.
Are you certain you entered the One Link code in the editor ->Theme Footer -> One line after the closing body tag?

But, I have one question for you. In the past Amazon had a plugin which redirected visitors to the Amazon site of their country to a same or similar item. The problem was if they went ahead making a purchase, you wouldn't get commission.
Do you get commission for sales in countries you are 'one linked' to?

I would have to assume that it would work either way since we have the one link code on our sites, but my feeling is to use the US link until I get a definitive answer from Amazon.
I will try to email them tomorrow for clarification.

If you are referring to Amazon astore, then no, you do not need an astore on your site.
When someone clicks your affiliate link, they are sent to what Amazon calls your storefront.
This is basically your affiliate ID, AKA - your store.
P.S. In case you haven't heard, Amazon will soon be retiring the astore.
Amazon One Link basically allows you to link international traffic to your US store (ID) to help monetize that traffic when they click on your affiliate link.
Hope that helps.

Amazon has already retired the Amazon store. That was shared in a brightly displayed alert when I logged in this afternoon.
If what you say is true then what is with the following prompt:
"Please link your store and get it validated before mapping individual tracking IDs"

Hi Trish.
The prompt is telling you that you must link and validate your CA and UK stores to your US store (ID's) before Amazon will give you the code to put on your site/sites to implement Amazon One Link.
After adding the code to your site, Amazon will then be able to redirect your CA and UK traffic to your proper store (ID) when an affiliate link is clicked.
Amazon will retire the aStore on 10/27/17.
Hope this helps.
Have a great day ~Jeremy
