If Shop 1 creates an ad for Product B, the ad will only be able to link to Product B.
If Shop 1 creates an ad for Products A and B, the ad will only be able to link to Products A and B.

About affiliate commissions and product change authorization
Allowing advertisers to change product links in affiliate posts may result in the promotion of products you don't showcase, so orders generated by some posts may not qualify to pay an affiliate creative commission. Only video codes for posts that contain an affiliate product link may generate affiliate commissions.
If an ad uses a video code for a post that doesn't contain an affiliate product link, then no commission will be applied to the GMV of the ad. If an ad uses a video code for a post that does contain an affiliate product link, the commission may be applied to the GMV of the ad for products with active affiliate plans.
