What is it?
Shop the Recipe makes it super easy for your followers to shop your recipes. We add shopping buttons to your DMs and emails, so when someone loves your recipe, they can add all the ingredients to their cart with one click. You earn affiliate commissions on whatever they buy. Pretty sweet deal!
This is an example of DM with Shop the Recipe enabled.
How to Set it Up:
Login to Grocer's List.
Go to Shop the Recipe > Settings.
Choose your shopping platform: Instacart or Amazon Fresh.
For Amazon Fresh: Add your Amazon affiliate ID to start earning (find your Amazon affiliate ID here)
Enable for Comment for DM and Save to Email.
That's it!
Every time you post we scan your recipe for the ingredients and automatically add the shopping cart button to your DMs and emails. No extra work for you.
How do I earn affiliate income?
Right now, affiliate income only works with Amazon Fresh. Once you add your Amazon affiliate ID, you're all set to start earning!
💡 Pro tip: Create a unique tracking ID in Amazon just for Grocer's List so you can see exactly how well it's working for you.

FAQs:
Can I use shopping links in my emails and blog posts?
Yes! If you select Amazon as your shopping platform, you can copy & paste the shoppable amazon deep link and add it your emails and blog posts.
