For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>amazon-headphones<\/code> \u2192 <strong>US<\/strong> \u2192 <code>https:\/\/amazon.com\/dp\/B08...<\/code><\/li>\n<li><code>amazon-headphones<\/code> \u2192 <strong>GB<\/strong> \u2192 <code>https:\/\/amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B08...<\/code><\/li>\n<li><code>amazon-headphones<\/code> \u2192 <strong>DE<\/strong> \u2192 <code>https:\/\/amazon.de\/dp\/B08...<\/code><\/li>\n<li><code>amazon-headphones<\/code> \u2192 <strong>default<\/strong> \u2192 <code>https:\/\/amazon.com\/dp\/B08...<\/code> (fallback)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"docs-info-box\">\n<p><strong>Important:<\/strong> Always add a <code>default<\/code> mapping. This is the fallback URL shown to visitors from countries you haven&#8217;t mapped.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Step 3: Insert the Shortcode<\/h3>\n<p>In any post or page, add the shortcode:<\/p>\n<pre><code><a href=\"#\" class=\"aff-localized-link\" data-aff-slug=\"amazon-headphones\">Buy Now<\/a><\/code><\/pre>\n<p>That&#8217;s it! When a visitor from the UK views your page, they&#8217;ll see a &#8220;Buy Now&#8221; link pointing to Amazon UK. A US visitor gets the US link. Everyone else gets the default.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Test It<\/h3>\n<p>Visit your page on the front end. Since you&#8217;re likely on localhost or your own country, you&#8217;ll see the corresponding link. The geolocation is cached in the browser&#8217;s localStorage for 24 hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get up and running with AffLoc in under 5 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"menu_order":2,"template":"","doc_category":[3],"class_list":["post-15","docs","type-docs","status-publish","hentry","doc_category-getting-started"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Quick Start Guide - affloc.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/affloc.com\/docs\/quick-start-guide\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Quick Start Guide - affloc.com\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Get up and running with AffLoc in under 5 minutes.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/affloc.com\/docs\/quick-start-guide\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"affloc.com\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/affloc.com\/docs\/quick-start-guide\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/affloc.com\/docs\/quick-start-guide\/\",\"name\":\"Quick Start Guide - affloc.com\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/affloc.com\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2026-03-19T23:11:45+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/affloc.com\/docs\/quick-start-guide\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/affloc.com\/docs\/quick-start-guide\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/affloc.com\/docs\/quick-start-guide\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/affloc.com\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Documentation\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/affloc.com\/docs\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Quick Start Guide\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/affloc.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/affloc.com\/\",\"name\":\"affloc.com\",\"description\":\"Stop losing affiliate commissions to international traffic.
