Amazon Joins YouTube's Shopping Affiliate Program

YouTube has announced that Amazon is joining its Shopping Affiliate Program, allowing eligible U.S. creators to tag Amazon products directly in videos, Shorts, and livestreams.

This integration lets viewers purchase products featured by creators without relying on a description link.

To qualify, creators must be enrolled in the YouTube Partner Program and the YouTube Shopping affiliate program, as well as hold an active account in either the Amazon Influencer Program or the Amazon Associates Program.

Creators who joined either Amazon program before September 2024 will need to re-link their accounts under the new process.
