Woo Amazon Affiliate – complete guideline

1Before you start

• A WordPress website with WooCommerce installed and active.
• An Amazon Associates account and your tracking ID (for example yourtag-20).
• The Woo Amazon Affiliate plugin ZIP file.
• Google Chrome on your computer and a Woo Amazon Affiliate account.

2Install the WordPress plugin

1. In WordPress go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
2. Choose the plugin ZIP, click Install Now, then Activate.
3. A new Amazon Affiliate menu appears in your dashboard.

3Set up the plugin

1. Open Amazon Affiliate → Settings.
2. Enter your Associates tracking ID and choose your Amazon marketplace (amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, amazon.ae …).
3. Choose a default category and whether new products are saved as Draft or Published.
4. Set the button text (for example Buy on Amazon) and whether images are downloaded to your media library.
5. Copy the Connection key shown on the settings page – you need it for the extension.

4Install the extension & connect your store

1. Add the extension from the Chrome Web Store and pin it to the toolbar.
2. Click the icon and sign in with your Woo Amazon Affiliate account (Login page).
3. Click Add store, enter your website address (e.g. https://yourstore.com) and paste the Connection key.
4. Press Test connection. You should see Store connected.

You can connect more than one store and switch between them in the popup.

5Import a single product

1. Open any product page on Amazon.
2. Click the Import to store button added by the extension (or open the popup).
3. Check the title, price and images, choose a category and click Import.
4. The product is created in WooCommerce as an External / Affiliate product whose button links to Amazon with your tracking ID.

6Bulk import from search & category pages

1. Open an Amazon search results, category or Best Sellers page.
2. Checkboxes appear on each product. Tick the ones you want, or use Select all on page.
3. Click Import selected, choose the WooCommerce category and start the queue.
4. Keep the tab open until the queue shows Done. Failed items can be retried from the queue list.

7Manage & refresh products

• Amazon Affiliate → Products lists everything imported, with the source link and last update.
• Use Refresh price on single items, or bulk-select to refresh many.
• Edit titles and descriptions freely in WooCommerce – your affiliate link stays attached.

8Stay within Amazon Associates rules

• Show a clear affiliate disclosure on your site (for example in the footer and on product pages).
• Refresh prices regularly and note that prices and availability can change on Amazon.
• Do not change your tracking ID inside links or cloak where links go.
• Read the current Associates Operating Agreement for your marketplace.

9Troubleshooting

“Store not reachable” when connecting.

Re-save permalinks, check the address uses https, and make sure a security plugin is not blocking the WordPress REST API.

Products import without images.

Turn on Download images in settings and check your media folder is writable.

The Import button does not appear on Amazon.

Reload the page. Check the extension is signed in and enabled for the Amazon site.

Commission not tracking.

Open an imported product's button link and confirm it contains your tracking ID.
