Earn from the items guests ask about.
Guests use your espresso machine, sleep on your sheets, and ask where the outdoor lights came from. If you have affiliate links for those items, Shop My Stay can show them right where guests are already looking.
The accounts are yours, in your name. Commissions are paid to you. Shop My Stay doesn't take a cut.
Optional. Your kit works the same with or without links.Kitchen
Espresso machine
A note from your host: pods are in the drawer to the left.
Set it up once.
After that, your links show up only where a guest has already shown interest in an item.
Join the programs that fit your home
Sign up directly with each program. Most are free. The table below shows which ones match which items.
Add your links in your dashboard
Paste one link next to each item. Leave any item blank and no link shows.
Guests see them when they're curious
Your link appears on the item's how-to page after a guest scans its sticker. On the Kit + AI Agent plan, the agent can also share it when a guest asks about that item.
Programs worth setting up
Amazon is the easy start. For furniture and decor guests compliment, retailer programs usually pay more and give guests longer to buy.

Before you start
Think of it as a bonus
Most properties earn modest amounts, and it builds slowly as guests come through. The main reason to use Shop My Stay is fewer guest questions, not affiliate income.
Read each program's rules
Programs have terms about where links can appear and how they're presented. Confirm your program allows links on a web page guests reach by scanning a code.
Links are labeled
Guests should know a link earns you a commission. Your links are marked as affiliate links from the host wherever they appear.
Change them anytime
