Elegant supports Amazon OneLink, so that you may monetize your traffic using affiliate links.
Visit Amazon website and create your OneLink account. Amazon will provide you a code snippet similar to following,
<div id="amzn-assoc-ad-$UUID"></div>
<script
async
src="//z-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/onejs?MarketPlace=US&adInstanceId=$UUID"
></script>
Pay close attention to the amzn-assoc-ad- part. The value following it is your Amazon OneLink id.
In your pelican configuration, preferably in the file publishconf.py, set AMAZON_ONELINK to your Amazon OneLink id, for example,
AMAZON_ONELINK = "b63a2115-85f7-43a9-b169-5f4c8c275655"
When the site is generated, $UUID in the snippet above is substituted with your id. Thus, ensuring that correct referral code is passed to the script.

This is an optional feature. If you do not set the variable then Amazon OneLink script is not added to the rendered output.
