How to Use Amazon SiteStripe

As a member of the Amazon Influencer program, there are a number of ways you can share your favorite products with your followers. While your Influencer storefront (vanity URL) is a great way to share your favorite products, there may also be times you want to recommend a specific product to followers. You can easily create and share individual product links using the Amazon SiteStripe tool.

In addition, the links you create using SiteStripe will be attributed back to your Associates ID, so when someone makes a purchase through a SiteStripe link, you will be eligible to earn from the purchase.

    To enable, log in to your account on Associates Central. Once logged in, at the top, under 'Tools', select 'SiteStripe'. On the SiteStripe page, a green 'ON' should be displayed under the 'Display Options' menu item. If this is 'OFF', enable SiteStripe via this activation button.
