About Lasso

What Is Lasso

Lasso is a platform built for people who earn money from affiliate links. If you run a product review blog or a YouTube channel, you probably drop links to Amazon and other stores into your content and hope someone clicks and buys. Lasso watches those links, tells you which ones get clicked, and helps you show attractive product cards that push more people toward a purchase. It's a plugin and a platform rolled into one.

The core idea is that you shouldn't have to check every post by hand. Lasso monitors your links in the background, flags the ones that break or go out of stock, and localizes links so visitors in different countries land on the right store.

It connects to WordPress through an affiliate plugin, links up with YouTube, and adds a Chrome extension for browsing-time work. That last part matters. Half the job happens while you're already logged in and editing.

The catch is that Lasso isn't a set-and-forget money printer. You still need traffic and good content. The free tier is also thin: broken link alerts, analytics, and international localization sit behind paid plans, so the real value only shows up once you upgrade past Lasso Lite.

Getting Started

  1. Create a Lasso account and pick a plan, then connect Lasso to your WordPress site or YouTube channel.
  2. Import your existing affiliate links or add new ones from the dashboard.
  3. Place product displays, tables, or grids into your posts where you want readers to click.
  4. Let Lasso monitor, localize, and track your links, then check the analytics dashboard to see what's working.

Key features

Affiliate Link Management

Lasso is a WordPress affiliate plugin at heart, and it gives you one dashboard for every link across your site. You can import existing links, add new ones, and see them in one place instead of hunting through old posts. The dashboard shows which links are active, synced, or broken, so cleanup stops being a manual chore.

Broken Link Detection

Dead and out-of-stock links quietly drain revenue because nobody notices them. Lasso scans your content and alerts you when an Amazon link stops working or a product runs out of stock. Fix it once. The revenue leak closes.

Click Tracking and Analytics

Click tracking connects to Google Analytics so you can see which products your audience actually clicks. You get the most-clicked products across your whole site plus per-post breakdowns. Advanced analytics, which unlocks on Pro, goes deeper into which pages and products drive earnings. Not guesswork. Data.

Product Displays and Comparison Tables

Lasso lets you drop product displays, tables, and grids into your posts. These aren't plain links; they're layouts the company says it A/B tested across billions of page views. The goal is simple. Make products look worth clicking and keep readers on the page longer.

International Link Localization

If your readers live outside the US, a bare Amazon link can send them to a store that won't ship to them. Localization routes visitors to the right regional store automatically. It sits on the Pro plan and up, so free and Creator users don't get it.

Lasso Marketplace and Brand Deals

As an affiliate marketing tool, Lasso goes past link cleanup. The marketplace offers private brand deals with no application process. You keep promoting the same Amazon products you already use but earn higher commissions on them. AI product matching helps line your existing content up with offers worth adding.

YouTube Integration

Lasso works beyond WordPress. A YouTube integration and a Chrome extension let creators manage links for videos and handle link work while browsing. It's part of why Lasso fits people who publish in more than one place.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • One dashboard for managing, monitoring, and fixing affiliate links across a site.
  • Broken link and out-of-stock alerts catch revenue leaks you'd otherwise miss.
  • Product displays, tables, and grids are built to convert, not just to list products.
  • Works across WordPress, YouTube, and a Chrome extension, so multi-platform creators aren't stuck.
  • Free tier exists, so you can test it before paying.

Cons

  • Broken link alerts, analytics, and localization are all locked behind paid plans, so the free tier is mostly a trial.
  • Team support only starts on the Studio plan at $59/mo, which is steep for a small blog.
  • It manages links well but does nothing for traffic, so it won't help if your content doesn't get visitors in the first place.

Frequently asked questions
