Smile Extra baggage allowance Alaska-Emirates

I have three different flights in my itinerary as follows.
Flight 1: Alaska Airlines
Flight 2 and 3 : Emirates

I am getting below message when I try to buy extra baggage through Emirates manage booking page.
You cannot purchase excess baggage allowance for this flight, because it is not operated by Emirates or you are connecting to/from a flight not operated by Emirates.

Please let me know what are the options I have to buy extra baggage.

Thanks

Is this an award flight with AS ff miles? Or cash paid?
Exact route?
How much luggage are you taking?

I will try and update this thread.

Update:
Alaska call center agent mentioned that I will not be able to purchase additional baggage in online. I can only buy additional baggage at Airport counter when I check-in my bags. I have to pay Emirates baggage fee for additional baggage and Alaska fee will not be applicable.
