Adding and Setting Up the Amazon App
4 min read
Important:
The Amazon app has been removed from the Wix App Market. Please note, if you already have the app installed on your site it will continue to work and Wix will continue to support it.
The Amazon app lets you display and promote products from international Amazon sites, directly on your site. You can showcase your products in a customizable gallery and connect your Amazon affiliate account to earn commission on your sales.
- For Amazon Store Owners: If you have an Amazon store, this is a great way for you (or your friends) to funnel traffic to your Amazon products.
- For Amazon Affiliates: Create an Amazon affiliate account or connect your existing account to earn commission.
Notes:
- Wix now lets you create an Amazon Shop sales channel that fully integrates with Wix Stores. Learn more
- The Amazon app is not currently available for users in India and China.
