Amazon Associates' April 2026 update: on-site commissions changed, off-site links did not
TL;DR: Good news for publishers: affiliate links on your own website keep earning commission on the reader's entire Amazon cart. Amazon's April 14, 2026 update changed commissions only for content hosted on Amazon itself, which now earns on the exact product linked. Off-site links work just as they did before, so every link you add can earn on everything the reader buys in that session.
