Meet the creators of an affiliate link
Tiffany Goucher
We use Beacons’ affiliate program for our digital product. Our affiliates share their unique affiliate links, and the checkout correctly displays “You are shopping with [affiliate].” However, the checkout page also displays a clickable “Meet the creator” section linking to our main Beacons profile. If a customer clicks our creator profile and then purchases the same product through our store, the affiliate may no longer receive credit for the sale.
Is there a way to disable or hide the “Meet the creator” section on affiliate-linked product/checkout pages, or can affiliate attribution persist when the customer navigates to the creator profile and later completes the purchase?
I have included a screenshot of what I mean.

Thanks for flagging this, Tiffany Goucher — super helpful context. I can see how the “Meet the creator” link on an affiliate checkout could impact attribution if someone clicks through and comes back later. I’m sharing this with our team to take a closer look at options like hiding that section on affiliate-linked checkouts or keeping affiliate credit intact after navigating to the creator profile, and we’ll follow up as soon as we have an update.
