If you’ve heard of this little old eCommerce store named Amazon, then
you might also know that Amazon has what is likely the largest
affiliate program in the world. Beyond selling tons of products, it also
has some peculiarities with rules and store localization that make it
different from many of the other affiliate programs out there.
For example, we use Thirsty Affiliates on WPLift and recommend it as a great tool to cloak affiliate links but…Amazon doesn’t allow affiliate link cloaking. So even though Thirsty Affiliates is a great overall affiliate plugin, it’s not a great Amazon affiliate plugin.
For that reason, I thought it would be helpful to create a list comprised specifically of the best Amazon affiliate WordPress plugins. These will help you insert Amazon affiliate links (and localize them) and images without running afoul of Amazon’s strict affiliate policies.
Some can even help you import products into a WooCommerce store, if you want to go that route.
Let’s jump in…
EasyAzon is one of the most popular Amazon affiliate plugins out there.
The plugin aims to make it easier and quicker for you to create and insert Amazon affiliate links into your site, plus a bunch of other helpful features for Amazon affiliates.
With EasyAzon, you can create links directly from the WordPress Editor – no need to ever step foot on Amazon’s site. You can also insert images the same way, which is great because of the murkiness over whether or not you’re allowed to upload Amazon’s product pictures to your own website.
Beyond that, EasyAzon also includes a neat feature that lets readers add a product to their cart straight from your website. I didn’t know this, but apparently that extends the commissionable time period to 90 days (for that item).
Finally, EasyAzon can localize your Amazon links so that visitors go straight to their local Amazon store website.
EasyAzon does come in a basic free version that lets you add text affiliate links from the WordPress Editor, but you’ll need the Pro version to get most of the features that I listed above.
The pro version starts at $47 for unlimited use on personal websites.

Oli actually already reviewed Amazon Affiliate for WordPress, but let me go ahead and share it again in case you’re not familiar.
Like EasyAzon, Amazon Affiliate for WordPress helps you easily insert and localize Amazon affiliate products into your site without leaving WordPress.
But it also goes way further than that, the plugin can also help you:
Amazon Affiliate for WordPress is a premium plugin that starts at €39 for a single site license.

Amazon Link Engine is Geniuslink’s WordPress plugin. If you’re not familiar with Geniuslink, it’s basically a link localization service that makes sure Amazon links are always localized.
So why is Geniuslink better than the other Amazon affiliate plugins that offer link localization?
Because it localizes links based on more than just product ID. Product ID alone can fail sometimes, but Geniuslink tries to always return a properly localized product, even if the product IDs don’t match.
Just be aware – while the plugin itself is free, you will need a paid Geniuslink account to use most of the features. Paid accounts start at $9 per month depending on the number of clicks you need Geniuslink to handle.

WooCommerce Amazon Affiliates makes it easy for you to import Amazon affiliate products into your WooCommerce store. With the associated WooZone ASIN Grabber, you can build product lists while browsing Amazon’s website. Then, you can import all those products that you curate into your WooCommerce store with just a few clicks.
Once in your store, the plugin localizes the Add to Cart button so that visitors can add the product at their local store. And it also checks stock availability for each country, which is a nice feature.
It also supports product and price variations, as well as a nifty content spinner tool to generate unique product descriptions. Personally, I’m not a big fan of content spinning, but I know it’s a popular approach.
The plugin offers a number of other smaller features, so make sure that you read the full product description if you’re intrigued.
WooCommerce Amazon Affiliates costs $42 at Code Canyon.

First off, let me say that a ton of people hate this plugin…but it is the official Amazon Associates affiliate plugin, so I’d be remiss if I didn’t put it on this list. Still – keep in mind that it has a dismal 2.9-star rating at the WordPress.org plugin directory.
Amazon Associates Link Builder lets you search for products from inside WordPress and add those products to your sites via a variety of pre-made templates.
I personally wouldn’t recommend it because the interface is horrible. But if you want to use the official Amazon Associates plugin…here it is.

Like WooCommerce Amazon Affiliates, Amazon eStore Affiliates Plugin helps you import Amazon affiliate products into your WooCommerce store.
You import the products, then visitors can automatically add them to their Amazon cart right from your store.
You can also grab product variations, prices, and spin product descriptions.
Again like WooCommerce Amazon Affiliates, Amazon eStore Affiliates Plugin is a premium plugin that’s available for $49 at Code Canyon.

Amazon Auto Links is a free plugin that gives you shortcodes (and a shortcode builder) that you can use to generate Amazon product lists. It also has a tool to automatically insert ads in a specific part of your site.
You can either insert specific products or lists based on categories and search codes.
There are also a ton of parameters to define image sizes, localization, link style, and more. And you can also set up your own custom buttons if you’d like.
It’s not quite as polished as the premium Amazon affiliate plugins but it’s also…free. Tough to argue with that.

BestAzon is an Amazon Associates link localization service. Once you install the plugin, it will automatically “globalize” every Amazon link on your site.
The plugin itself is free but, like Geniuslink, you’ll need a paid BestAzon plan to actually localize your links via the plugin. That plan starts at $6 per month. You can also donate 3% of your clicks to charity if you’d rather not pay the monthly fee.
