Affiliate Link Automation for Astro Sites
Astro's static-first approach delivers blazing performance. ClickReap adds affiliate link automation without compromising that speed — one script tag, zero build-time dependencies.
Why Astro Publishers Choose ClickReap
Astro publishers care about performance, simplicity, and shipping less JavaScript. If you've chosen Astro over heavier frameworks, you don't want an affiliate link solution that pulls in a React component library or adds build-time complexity.
ClickReap works differently. It's a lightweight client-side script that processes your rendered HTML after the page loads. No Astro integrations to install, no npm packages to manage, no build steps to configure.
- Static-first compatible: ClickReap works perfectly with Astro's default static output. Your pages are still pure HTML at the edge — ClickReap enhances them in the browser.
- Island architecture friendly: Since ClickReap doesn't use React, Vue, or Svelte components, it doesn't interfere with Astro's partial hydration model.
- No build-time dependency: ClickReap isn't an Astro integration or a Vite plugin. It's a script tag. Your build process stays clean and fast.
- Content collections support: Whether your content lives in Markdown, MDX, or a headless CMS, ClickReap processes the rendered output.
If you're building content sites with Astro — blogs, documentation, review sites, niche publications — ClickReap lets you automatically monetize product mentions without touching your content files.
Installing ClickReap in Your Astro Layout
Add ClickReap to your base Astro layout file. Every page that uses that layout will automatically get affiliate link processing. Here's how it looks:
src/layouts/BaseLayout.astro
---
const { title } = Astro.props;
---
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
<title>{title}</title>
</head>
<body>
<slot />
<script
src="https://api.clickreap.com/sdk/clickreap.min.js"
data-project="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"
></script>
</body>
</html>That's the complete integration. The script loads after your static HTML renders, scans the page content, and converts product mentions into affiliate links. It works with all Astro rendering modes — static, server, and hybrid.
You can also use this with Astro integrations like @astrojs/react, @astrojs/vue, or @astrojs/svelte — ClickReap processes the final HTML regardless of which UI framework generated it.
Works With Astro Content Collections
Astro's content collections are a powerful way to manage blog posts, reviews, and documentation. ClickReap complements this workflow perfectly because it doesn't require changes to your Markdown or MDX source files.
- Write in Markdown: Keep your content clean. No special syntax, no shortcodes, no affiliate link markup in your source files.
- Automatic linking: When Astro renders your Markdown into HTML, ClickReap scans the output and inserts affiliate links automatically.
- Central management: Add products and affiliate URLs in the ClickReap dashboard. They're applied across every page on your Astro site. Update once, update everywhere.
- Analytics built in: Track which content collections and individual pages drive the most affiliate clicks with built-in analytics.
Whether you're building with Astro alone or combining it with a headless CMS, ClickReap fits into your workflow without friction. See how it compares across JAMstack frameworks or explore the full feature set.
