    So I just want to clarify what this plugin does.

    Let’s say I insert a link to my post (whether it be through a picture or an actual hyperlink) to Amazon.com (for example).
    So a raw link like this straight from Amazon (or any link from Amazon):

    Will this automatically add my affiliate tag to that link and still take me to the same product? I don’t care if anything after the ASIN is removed and my affiliate tag is added, but I still want to go to the same product I linked to with my affiliate tag automatically added.

    Same question for other major affiliate networks that this plugin has support for?

    And this will not randomly add someone elses affiliate tag accidentally?

    Yes, it does the right thing. For the case you say, it’ll add &tag=YOURTAG to Amazon links. It supports all the Amazon variants I could find documentation on. It also does similar work for Linkshare (Rakuten) links. It only adds these tags when you tell it to do so. I’m an honest guy.

    The affiliate link processing is done by this library, if you want to review it yourself:
