YouTube Creators Can Now Tag Amazon Products for Commissions
· Technology · TechCrunch, Android Authority
YouTube has introduced a feature allowing eligible U.S. creators to tag Amazon products directly in their shorts, long-form videos, and livestreams to earn sales commissions. This integration replaces the need for manual link placement in video descriptions, as Amazon will provide a curated catalog of trending products. Creators can also enable auto-tagging, which uses YouTube's systems to identify and link eligible items in their uploads. While the feature is currently limited to U.S. creators, the tags are visible to a global audience, with potential for international commission matching.
Why it matters
This update creates a more seamless monetization path for creators and expands Amazon's reach into the creator economy.
