You will need your own affiliate link from a shop or affiliate programme you have already joined.<\/div>\n<h2>Quick answer<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Open your recipe from Recipe Dashboard &rsaquo; My Recipes, scroll to the Ingredients section, hover over the ingredient you want to link, and click the small link icon labelled Show URL that appears on that row. A box opens beneath the ingredient &mdash; paste your affiliate link into it and save with Update Recipe. Once the recipe is approved, that ingredient&rsquo;s name becomes a clickable link that opens in a new tab, so your readers see a shoppable ingredient list. The commission itself is tracked and paid by the affiliate programme whose link you pasted &mdash; Utsav Recipes does not count clicks or hold your earnings.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure style=\"margin:28px 0 42px;\"><video controls preload=\"metadata\" src=\"https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/kb-img\/adding-affiliate-ingredient-links-to-your-recipes-mtottoh6-walkthrough.mp4\" style=\"width:100%;aspect-ratio:16\/9;border:0;border-radius:10px;box-shadow:0 5px 25px rgba(0,0,0,0.12);display:block;background:#000;\"><\/video><figcaption style=\"margin-top:14px;font-size:0.9em;color:#6b7280;line-height:1.55;\">Video walkthrough &mdash; opening a recipe and adding a link to an ingredient.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Before you begin<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>You need to be <strong>signed in<\/strong>. If a sign-in box appears instead of the recipe form, you are not signed in yet &mdash; sign in and open the link again.<\/li>\n<li>You can only add links to <strong>your own recipes<\/strong>. The link box does not appear on someone else&rsquo;s recipe.<\/li>\n<li>Have your <strong>affiliate link ready<\/strong> on the clipboard. Utsav Recipes does not create affiliate links for you &mdash; you join a shop&rsquo;s or a network&rsquo;s affiliate programme yourself, generate your tracking link there, and paste it here.<\/li>\n<li>Find your recipes through your profile picture menu, or through the Utsav Recipes menu, at <strong>Recipe Dashboard &rsaquo; My Recipes<\/strong>. Direct link: <strong>https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/utsav-recipes\/recipe-dashboard\/<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>To start a fresh recipe instead, use <strong>Add a Recipe<\/strong> on the same dashboard, or go straight to <strong>https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/utsav-recipes\/publish-your-recipe\/<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Every recipe goes to the Utsav Recipes team for review before it appears publicly, so plan for a short wait after you save.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Step 1 &mdash; Open the recipe you want to link<\/h2>\n<p>Go to <strong>Recipe Dashboard &rsaquo; My Recipes<\/strong>, find the recipe and click <strong>Edit Recipe<\/strong>. The recipe form opens with your existing details already filled in, and a yellow bar at the top reminds you that you are editing this recipe. The address of this page ends in <strong>\/edit-recipe\/<\/strong> followed by your recipe&rsquo;s own number, so you can bookmark it and come straight back.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"margin:34px auto 42px;text-align:center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/kb-img\/adding-affiliate-ingredient-links-to-your-recipes-mtottoh6-01.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Click to view full size\" class=\"docbot-zoom\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-radius:10px;box-shadow:0 5px 25px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.1);border:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);display:block;max-width:100%;height:auto;margin:0 auto;cursor:zoom-in;\" src=\"https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/kb-img\/adding-affiliate-ingredient-links-to-your-recipes-mtottoh6-01.png\" alt=\"The Utsav Recipes edit form open on a member&rsquo;s own recipe, showing the editing bar, the Status choice and the recipe title\" \/><\/a><figcaption style=\"margin-top:14px;font-size:0.9em;color:#6b7280;line-height:1.55;\">Your recipe open for editing. Leave the title, image and Status as they are &mdash; the ingredient links live further down this same page.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Step 2 &mdash; Scroll down to the Ingredients section<\/h2>\n<p>Keep scrolling past the description, categories and times until you reach <strong>Ingredients<\/strong>. Each ingredient sits on its own row, with its amount, its measurement and its name side by side, and an <strong>Add Ingredient<\/strong> button underneath for adding more.<\/p>\n<p>Decide which ingredients are worth linking. Anything a cook is likely to have to go out and buy &mdash; a spice blend, a special flour, saffron, a tin or a pan &mdash; is a better candidate than salt or water.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 3 &mdash; Reveal the hidden link box on that ingredient<\/h2>\n<p>Move your mouse over the ingredient row. A small <strong>link icon<\/strong>, labelled <strong>Show URL<\/strong>, fades in at the right-hand end of that row. It is deliberately hidden until you hover so that the form stays tidy, which is also why you will not spot it in a screenshot of the page.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Hover over the ingredient row you want to link.<\/li>\n<li>Click the <strong>Show URL<\/strong> link icon on that row.<\/li>\n<li>A single-line box opens just beneath the ingredient, showing <strong>https:\/\/<\/strong> as a hint.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div style=\"background:#f4f6f8;border-left:4px solid #9aa4b2;border-radius:8px;padding:14px 18px;margin:22px 0;line-height:1.6;\">&#8505;&#65039; <strong>Note<\/strong><br \/>On a phone or tablet there is nothing to hover over. Tap the ingredient row once and the icon appears, then tap it to open the box. If it still will not appear, add the links from a laptop or desktop instead.<\/div>\n<h2>Step 4 &mdash; Paste your affiliate link and save<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Paste your affiliate link into the box, complete with the <strong>https:\/\/<\/strong> at the front and the whole tracking part at the end. Do not trim anything off it &mdash; the tracking code is how you get credited.<\/li>\n<li>Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for every other ingredient you want to link. You can link as many ingredients as you like, one link per ingredient.<\/li>\n<li>Scroll to the bottom and click <strong>Update Recipe<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Your edit goes back to the Utsav Recipes team for review, so the recipe shows as <strong>Pending<\/strong> for a short while before your changes appear publicly. When it is live, the ingredient&rsquo;s <strong>name<\/strong> is what readers click, and it opens in a new tab so nobody loses their place in your recipe.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fff6f1;border-left:4px solid #e0592b;border-radius:8px;padding:14px 18px;margin:22px 0;line-height:1.6;\">&#128161; <strong>Tip<\/strong><br \/>A row you have used as a section heading &mdash; &ldquo;For the syrup&rdquo;, &ldquo;For the garnish&rdquo; &mdash; is not a real ingredient, so it has no link icon. Add your link to the ingredient rows underneath it instead.<\/div>\n<h2>Step 5 &mdash; Adding links while you create a new recipe<\/h2>\n<p>You do not have to publish first and link later. The <strong>Publish Your Recipe<\/strong> page &mdash; reached from <strong>Add a Recipe<\/strong> on your dashboard &mdash; carries exactly the same ingredient rows and the same hidden link icon, so you can build a shoppable ingredient list from the very first draft.<\/p>\n<p>Fill in the fields marked with a red asterisk as you normally would: the recipe title, the image, a short description, the category, cuisine and cooking method, the difficulty and the three time boxes.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"margin:34px auto 42px;text-align:center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/kb-img\/adding-affiliate-ingredient-links-to-your-recipes-mtottoh6-02.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Click to view full size\" class=\"docbot-zoom\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-radius:10px;box-shadow:0 5px 25px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.1);border:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);display:block;max-width:100%;height:auto;margin:0 auto;cursor:zoom-in;\" src=\"https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/kb-img\/adding-affiliate-ingredient-links-to-your-recipes-mtottoh6-02.png\" alt=\"The blank Publish Your Recipe form on Utsav Recipes, with the recipe title, image upload area, description and category fields\" \/><\/a><figcaption style=\"margin-top:14px;font-size:0.9em;color:#6b7280;line-height:1.55;\">The Publish Your Recipe form, still empty.

Each card shows its review status, and Edit Recipe takes you straight back to the ingredient rows.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>How is the commission tracked?<\/h2>\n<p>All of the tracking happens inside the link itself. The affiliate link you generated already contains your own tracking code, so when a reader clicks the ingredient and buys from the shop, the shop or network recognises that the visit came from you and credits the sale to your affiliate account.<\/p>\n<p>That means:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Utsav Recipes does not count clicks, hold a balance or show an earnings figure for these links. There is no affiliate earnings screen on Utsav Recipes.<\/li>\n<li>Your clicks, sales, approval periods and payouts all live in the account you hold with the affiliate programme &mdash; that is where you check how a recipe is performing.<\/li>\n<li>The rules on what qualifies, how long a click is remembered and when you get paid are set by that programme, not by MyMahotsav.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What readers see, and telling them about it<\/h2>\n<p>On the published recipe, a linked ingredient looks like the rest of the ingredient list &mdash; the difference is that its name is clickable, and clicking opens the shop in a new tab. There is no automatic badge, label or disclosure notice added for you.<\/p>\n<p>Because nothing is added automatically, the disclosure is your job. Most affiliate programmes, and advertising rules in many countries, require you to make it clear when you may earn from a link. Write that in your own words in the recipe&rsquo;s short description, or in the description of the ingredient itself &mdash; a plain line such as &ldquo;Some ingredient links are affiliate links, and I may earn a small commission if you buy through them&rdquo; is enough. Say it once, keep it visible, and put it near the top rather than buried at the end.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips and best practices<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Link the ingredients that are genuinely hard to find. Two or three well-chosen links read as helpful; a link on every row reads as an advert.<\/li>\n<li>Test each link before you save by pasting it into a new browser tab &mdash; a truncated or expired affiliate link still looks perfectly normal in the form.<\/li>\n<li>Keep the ingredient name accurate and cook-friendly. The name is what readers click, so &ldquo;Kashmiri red chilli powder&rdquo; works far better than &ldquo;buy here&rdquo;.<\/li>\n<li>Check your links every few months. Shops retire products, and a dead link is worse than no link.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid linking to something that is not really the ingredient in the recipe. Readers notice, and so do affiliate programmes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"background:#eef8f0;border-left:4px solid #2e9e5b;border-radius:8px;padding:14px 18px;margin:22px 0;line-height:1.6;\">&#127919; <strong>Best practice<\/strong><br \/>Add your links and your disclosure line in the same editing session, then save once. The recipe goes back for review after every edit, so doing it in one pass means one wait instead of three &mdash; and your readers never see a linked ingredient without the disclosure that belongs with it.<\/div>\n<h2>Troubleshooting<\/h2>\n<h3>I hover over the ingredient but no link icon appears<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Cause:<\/strong> the icon is invisible until the pointer is over that exact row, so it is easy to miss on a touchscreen, at a very narrow window width, or when you are hovering over the amount box rather than the row. It also never appears on a section-heading row, which is not a real ingredient.<br \/>\n<strong>Fix:<\/strong> move the pointer slowly across the right-hand end of the ingredient row and look for the small link symbol. On a phone or tablet, tap the row first. If the window is narrow, widen it or switch to a laptop.<br \/>\n<strong>Escalate if:<\/strong> no ingredient row on any of your recipes shows the icon on a desktop browser, even after a refresh &mdash; contact support with the recipe name.<\/p>\n<h3>I saved the recipe but the ingredient is not clickable on the page<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Cause:<\/strong> most often the edit is still waiting for review, so the version the public sees is the old one. Otherwise the link box was opened but left empty, the link was pasted without <strong>https:\/\/<\/strong> at the front, or the ingredient row has no name for the link to attach to.<br \/>\n<strong>Fix:<\/strong> check the status on <strong>My Recipes<\/strong> &mdash; if it says Pending, wait for approval. If it is live, open <strong>Edit Recipe<\/strong>, hover the row, click <strong>Show URL<\/strong> and confirm the full address is there, that it starts with https:\/\/ and that the ingredient has a name. Save again with <strong>Update Recipe<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<strong>Escalate if:<\/strong> the recipe is approved and the address is definitely saved in the box, but the ingredient still shows as plain text after a refresh.<\/p>\n<h3>The link works, but my affiliate account is not recording the clicks<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Cause:<\/strong> the tracking lives entirely in the link. A link copied from a product page rather than from your affiliate account, a shortened link that has since expired, or a programme that has not yet approved your account will all open the shop perfectly while crediting nobody.<br \/>\n<strong>Fix:<\/strong> generate a fresh link inside your affiliate account, paste it in again and save. Then check the reporting in that programme&rsquo;s own dashboard, since Utsav Recipes has no figures to show you.<br \/>\n<strong>Escalate if:<\/strong> the correct link is saved on the recipe and opens with your tracking code intact &mdash; at that point it is a question for the affiliate programme&rsquo;s support team, not MyMahotsav.<\/p>\n<h3>A sign-in box appears instead of the recipe form<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Cause:<\/strong> you are signed out, or you are signed in as a different member from the one who wrote the recipe. Only the owner can edit a recipe and its ingredient links.<br \/>\n<strong>Fix:<\/strong> sign in with the account that published the recipe, then open <strong>Recipe Dashboard &rsaquo; My Recipes<\/strong> again and use <strong>Edit Recipe<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<strong>Escalate if:<\/strong> you are signed in as the author, the recipe appears under My Recipes, and the form still refuses to open.<\/p>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Q: How do I add an affiliate link to an ingredient?<\/strong><br \/>\nA: Open the recipe with <strong>Edit Recipe<\/strong>, scroll to Ingredients, hover over the ingredient row, click the small <strong>Show URL<\/strong> link icon, paste your affiliate link into the box that opens and click <strong>Update Recipe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: How is commission tracked?<\/strong><br \/>\nA: By the affiliate programme whose link you pasted. Your tracking code is already inside the link, so the shop credits the sale to your affiliate account. Utsav Recipes does not track clicks or show earnings, so check the figures in your programme&rsquo;s own account.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Do I need to disclose affiliate links?<\/strong><br \/>\nA: Yes &mdash; and you need to write the disclosure yourself, because nothing is added automatically. A short line in the recipe&rsquo;s description saying you may earn a commission from some ingredient links keeps you right with most programmes and with advertising rules.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Can I link every ingredient in the recipe?<\/strong><br \/>\nA: You can put one link on each ingredient row, as many rows as you like. Section headings are the exception, as they are not ingredients. In practice a handful of links reads better than a wall of them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Does the link open in a new tab?<\/strong><br \/>\nA: Yes. A reader who clicks a linked ingredient gets the shop in a new tab, and your recipe stays open behind it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Can I remove or change a link later?<\/strong><br \/>\nA: At any time. Open <strong>Edit Recipe<\/strong>, hover the ingredient, click <strong>Show URL<\/strong>, and replace the address or clear the box completely. Save with <strong>Update Recipe<\/strong>; the change goes through review like any other edit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Can I add links to someone else&rsquo;s recipe?<\/strong><br \/>\nA: No. Ingredient links can only be added by the member who owns the recipe, from their own Recipe Dashboard.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:none\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-mahi=\"context\">\nAlso asked as: How do I add an affiliate link to an ingredient on Utsav Recipes? \u00b7 Where is the Show URL link icon on the recipe ingredient row? \u00b7 Can I make my ingredient list shoppable? \u00b7 How do I monetise my recipes with affiliate links? \u00b7 How is affiliate commission tracked on MyMahotsav recipes? \u00b7 Do I have to disclose affiliate links on my recipe? \u00b7 Why can&#8217;t I see the link icon next to my ingredient? \u00b7 Where do affiliate links appear on the published recipe? \u00b7 How do I remove an affiliate link from an ingredient? \u00b7 Can I add affiliate links while creating a new recipe?
