I have a website where most of the traffic is mobile traffic.

And then when a user clicks on an Amazon affiliate link, it opens in a webview or mobile browser.

Generally, nobody really buys (click on buy) anything on the mobile browser. So they come back to the installed Amazon android app and search the product there and buy from the app.

I lose my commission because my affiliate cookie is in the browser.

How do I tackle this?

More than 70% of my traffic is from mobile (instagram webview).

Not being able to convert even after getting clicks is frustrating.

Any help will be appreciated.

I am a programmer. So if you have a solution which involves writing an API/redirector/web app, I can build it.

Thanks

Im more than sure, thats a technical issue from an Amazon site or you have a wrong link.
Because if someone have an app on the phone, link MUST open that app automatically if someone clicks.

Try using link intents like what the guy above is referring to and see if you get the credit.

Just make the link or button show something like “Open in Amazon App” or something of that nature.

Very easy to do.
 
I think it's not your problem.... Facebook and Instagram work like that

Even intents like Tel: or mailto: don't work on insta/fb Webview
