Product cards now show live Amazon prices and deals

TL;DR: Mentionlink product cards now show what each product costs right now, such as "$47 at Amazon", refreshed at least once a day. When an item is on sale, the card also shows the original price struck through, the percent saved and Amazon's deal badge, such as "Limited time deal". It arrives just in time for the holiday season, from Thanksgiving and Black Friday through Cyber Monday and the gift-giving weeks after, when readers are hunting for deals. There is nothing to set up, and you never have to edit a post again because a price changed.

TL;DR: Hats off to sports and lifestyle publishers: Mentionlink now links the caps, beanies and team apparel mentioned in your content to Lids. Every fitted cap in a sideline photo and every snapback in a style roundup is a chance for a reader to grab one of their own, and now those mentions can earn you commission from the store fans already go to for officially licensed headwear.

TL;DR: Good news for publishers: affiliate links on your own website keep earning commission on the reader's entire Amazon cart. Amazon's April 14, 2026 update changed commissions only for content hosted on Amazon itself, which now earns on the exact product linked. Off-site links work just as they did before, so every link you add can earn on everything the reader buys in that session.
