Affiliate Link Management Built for Next.js
Traditional affiliate plugins were built for WordPress. ClickReap was built for modern frameworks like Next.js — one script tag, zero hydration issues, full automation.
Why Next.js Sites Need a Different Approach
If you've tried to add affiliate links to a Next.js site, you already know the pain. WordPress plugins don't work here. There's no PHP, no plugin directory, no shortcode system. Your Next.js site runs on a completely different architecture — and it deserves tools built for that architecture.
- No PHP plugins: WordPress affiliate tools rely on server-side PHP. Next.js uses Node.js and React. These worlds don't overlap.
- SSR and SSG compatibility: Your affiliate solution needs to work whether you're using server-side rendering, static site generation, or incremental static regeneration.
- Headless architecture: Even if your CMS is WordPress, a headless WordPress setup strips away plugin functionality on the frontend.
- Hydration concerns: Client-side scripts that manipulate the DOM can conflict with React's hydration process, causing errors and layout shifts.
ClickReap solves all of this. It's a lightweight script that runs after hydration, scans your rendered content, and automatically converts product mentions into affiliate links. No React components to install, no build-time dependencies, no npm packages to maintain.
How ClickReap Works With Next.js
Getting started takes about two minutes. Add a single script tag to your Next.js layout and ClickReap handles the rest. It works seamlessly with the App Router, Pages Router, ISR, and fully static exports.
Here's how to add ClickReap to your Next.js app using the App Router:
app/layout.tsx
import type { Metadata } from 'next'
export const metadata: Metadata = {
title: 'My Next.js Site',
}
export default function RootLayout({
children,
}: {
children: React.ReactNode
}) {
return (
<html lang="en">
<body>
{children}
<script
src="https://api.clickreap.com/sdk/clickreap.min.js"
data-project="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"
/>
</body>
</html>
)
}That's the entire integration. ClickReap loads asynchronously after your page renders, so it won't affect your Core Web Vitals or Time to Interactive. It works with both the App Router and the Pages Router — just place the script in your root layout or _app.tsx.
Features Next.js Developers Actually Need
ClickReap was designed with modern web development in mind. Here's what makes it different from legacy affiliate tools:
- API-first design: Everything runs through our API. No database plugins, no server-side dependencies. Manage your affiliate links from the ClickReap dashboard and they're applied everywhere.
- No hydration issues: ClickReap waits for your React app to finish rendering before scanning content. No SSR mismatches, no console warnings.
- Works with any data source: Whether your content comes from a headless CMS, MDX files, or a database, ClickReap processes the rendered output — not the source.
- Automatic link insertion: Define your products once, and ClickReap automatically inserts affiliate links whenever those products are mentioned in your content.
- Built-in analytics: Track clicks, conversions, and revenue without additional tracking scripts or third-party tools.
If you're building with Next.js, you care about performance and developer experience. ClickReap respects both. There's nothing to install via npm, no build steps to configure, and no vendor lock-in. If you ever switch from Next.js to Astro or another framework, your affiliate links come with you.
