Does this Walmart link carry my affiliate ID?
Walmart affiliate links run through Impact, an affiliate network. A typical link starts goto.walmart.com/c/ and carries three numbers in its path. The first is the affiliate's Impact partner ID.
Impact records the click at goto.walmart.com and then sends the visitor to Walmart. That means the partner ID does not need to appear on the final Walmart page. What matters is that the link passes through Impact and lands on the product you meant.
Paste the link above. We show the partner ID, the product and every redirect. Enter your own partner ID in "Your partner ID" and every check also tells you whether the link carries it.

Where to find your partner ID
Sign in to Impact and open your Walmart program. Links made with Impact's link tools carry your partner ID as the first number after /c/.
Walmart Creator members make walmrt.us links from the Creator dashboard instead.
What this checker can and cannot tell you
We can tell you:
- whether the link goes through Walmart's affiliate network, and the partner ID it carries
- the product link inside it, read without visiting it
- every redirect to the first Walmart page
- whether the link carries the partner ID you typed in "Your partner ID"
We cannot tell you whose account a partner ID belongs to, or whether that account is approved for the Walmart program. Your Impact dashboard shows that.
Walmart sometimes shows a bot check instead of the page. When it does, the answer reads Unknown. That says nothing about your link. Open it in your browser to confirm.
Common problems and fixes
The link opens the Walmart home page. The u part is missing or empty, so Walmart has no product to show. Make the link again with the product page URL.
No partner ID. Links copied from Walmart's address bar or share button carry none. Make the link in Impact or the Creator dashboard.
The link goes through another short link first. A bit.ly or similar link in front adds a hop. We follow it and show whether the link still reaches goto.walmart.com.
Walmart did not answer. See the note on bot checks above. Try again later, or open the link in your browser.
Common questions
How do I check a Walmart affiliate link?
Paste it in the box at the top of this page. We show the partner ID, the product, and every hop to Walmart.
Why is my ID not on the final Walmart page?
Because Impact records the click before sending the visitor on. The ID does not need to be on the Walmart page for the click to count.
What is a walmrt.us link?
It is a short link from the Walmart Creator program. It hides the destination until it opens. Paste it here and we follow it.
Can I see whose affiliate link this is?
You can see the partner ID. Impact does not publish which account owns it.
Does checking my link count as a click?
It can. We read the link first without visiting it. The live check then follows it once, and Impact may count that as one click. We reuse the result for an hour so the same link is not visited twice.
