YouTube Shopping's affiliate program now includes Amazon as a partner, letting eligible US creators tag Amazon products in their videos and earn a share of resulting sales. The announcement came from Travis Katz, General Manager and Vice President of YouTube Shopping, on August 27.
To use the feature, creators must be in the YouTube Partner Program and the US Shopping Affiliate Program, and hold an active Amazon Influencer Program or Amazon Associates account linked to their channel.
