Last updated 1 month ago

How to get Associate Tag

To obtain an Associate Tag, refer to .

Some recommendation to get Amazon affiliate program approval:

  • Site must have finished look and actual content.

  • Don't try to add just affiliate products. Make your site more useful for visitors, add some content, videos, images, articles, news, blog section.

  • Site must follow .

How to get Access Key and Secret Key

Product Advertising API sign up is available only to associates who have referred qualified sales and have been accepted into the program. Check what are .

API Rates

How to check your API access

What are alternatives to Amazon API

We offer 4 alternative ways which don't require API keys and they will help you to make first sales more faster and get regular API access.

1. Amazon No API module

2. Affiliate Egg plugin

3. Offer module

Multiple locales

1. Amazon OneLink

No additional scripts required anymore. You just link accounts and you are ready.

2. Module cloning

3. Geolocation IP detection

Your Amazon Associates tag works only in the locale in which you register. If you want to be an Amazon Associate in more than one locale, you must register separately for each locale.

You can add your tags in the following fields:

Next, when you search for amazon products, you can choose the locale to search:

So after searching from one locale, you can add another products to list from another locale. Then, if you want to separate products from different locales, add locale parameter to shortcode like:

[content-egg module=Amazon locale=US]

locale=US will show all products from US locale.

Note: CE plugin doesn't have inner geo IP detection, but you can use the plugin in combination with third-party geo IP plugins.

You can show content to US visitors only by using a shortcode like:

[geoip_detect2_show_if country="US"]
[content-egg module=Amazon locale=US]
[/geoip_detect2_show_if]

Another example with a default block:

My country: [geoip_detect2 property="country.isoCode"]

[geoip_detect2_show_if country="GB"]
This block will be shown if the visitor is in the GB (UK): 
[content-egg-block template=offers_list locale=GB]
[/geoip_detect2_show_if]

[geoip_detect2_show_if country="DE"]
This block will be shown if the user is in the DE: 
[content-egg-block template=offers_list locale=DE]
[/geoip_detect2_show_if]

[geoip_detect2_show_if not_country="GB,DE"]
Amazon US by default for all users except GB and DE: 
[content-egg-block template=offers_list locale=US]
[/geoip_detect2_show_if]
