How affiliate works on Instagram for creators
Instagram’s affiliate program ended in August 2022. You’ll no longer be able to tag commission-eligible products in your content and existing content will no longer earn commission.
Instagram affiliate creators earn a commission on sales made from product tags in feed posts, Stories and Reels, and from products in their shop.
