19 Great Amazon Affiliate WordPress Plugin Options (I use 4 of them on most sites)

An open laptop with the Amazon site on screen.

Updated December 23, 2020.

I’m not a super Amazon affiliate but I make a couple of thousand per month promoting Amazon across my niche sites.

I’m hoping to grow it substantially over the next year or two across my portfolio of niche sites.  Despite Amazon’s lowering commissions in 2020, it’s still a great merchant to promote because most people fail to leave Amazon without buying something.

It’s hard to resist dumping a pile of stuff into Amazon’s cart and pulling the trigger on a buy before leaving its clutches.

Therefore, if promoting Amazon is your thing, here’s a good batch of Amazon affiliate plugins to consider to squeeze out some extra commissions from your website.

Here are my recent Amazon affiliate earnings:

Some of those earnings a result of using various Amazon affiliate plugins.

Below is a comprehensive list of the better Amazon affiliate plugins. I haven’t used them all, but I’ve used many.  The first four are the plugins I actively use.

The first 5 listed I use across my niche site portfolio.

1. Lasso

My Pick

I'm now hog wild about Lasso. This Amazon affiliate plugin does some really cool things beyond cool product showcases like this (created with Lasso of course).

You can turn a group of products into "rich snippet grabbing listicles" which is very powerful. Check out this product listicle example here. In fact, check that listicle on mobile. It displays fast and looks great. I don't have to tell you that it garners clicks like crazy.

I've been deploying Lasso across my niche sites and Fat Stacks. I have a lot more to product listicles and showcases to create but I'm getting there. I'm training a VA to create these listicles in existing articles which should speed up the process. It's very exciting.

Lasso syncs with the Amazon affiliate API but you can also promote products not on Amazon. You can insert affiliate links to anywhere.

Moreover, you can create links to other articles on your site. If you have a cornerstone listicle, you can link out to other articles on your site.

Overall, I'm very keen on Lasso and so with this updated write-up, it tops my list of Amazon affiliate plugins.

2. AAWP

I just started using AAWP on a few newer niche sites that don’t earn so well.  AAWP only promotes Amazon products but does a good job.  It’s easy to use once you know the various shortcode outputs.

The box designs are nice – they definitely enhance content.

AAWP also creates product grids and tables.  The tables are a nice feature and is something Lasso doesn’t do.

The pricing packages are good since they’re annual fees instead of monthly.  You can buy multisite packages which is good as well.

Here’s an example of a product box created with AAWP:

3. ConvertBox

ConvertBox (read my epic ConvertBox review here) isn’t promoted as an Amazon affiliate plugin but it sure can be used as one. I use it as one on several sites and it’s amazing.  It does things no other plugin listed here does.  Primarily, it offers popup capabilities on sites as well as quiz-making capabilities to promote products.  I generate a ton of clicks to Amazon with ConvertBox.  I restrict the use mostly to exit pops and in-content quizzes.

I also use ConvertBox on this site for email sign up forms.  Yes, it’s a very versatile plugin.

Here are some real examples of ConvertBox forms you can embed on your site:

Note that ConvertBox does not pull in Amazon images via an API so you cannot use images.

4. Affiliatable

Affiliatable is a new player in town.  Or maybe it’s been around a long time but I’ve been out of touch and just learned about it. Anyway, I bought lifetime access not too long ago and am digging this plugin.  It works great for Amazon as well as other merchants.  In other words you can use it for non-Amazon promotions.

Affiliateable is cloud software (no plugin) that creates attractive product boxes and lists quickly.  While this post focuses on Amazon affiliate Wordpress plugin options, this essentially does the same thing on the cloud.

It’s easy to use.  Once you create the box you like, you simply copy and paste the embed code provided.

Here are the various product boxes you can create:

Here’s an example of a product box (promoting my courses of course):

  • Keyword research (my methods for uncovering low competition KWs),
  • On-site SEO,
  • Systematizing content publishing,
  • How I attract thousands of links naturally, and
  • My dead-simple Pinterest strategy for Pinterest traffic.

5. AMZIMAGE (aka Amazon Insert Images)

AMZImage is the the Amazon plugin I’ve been using the longest.  It’s absolutely beautiful in its simplicity.

I’m a huge fan of this plugin because often I just want large Amazon product images added to content because the image enhances the content.  In many instances, I don’t want the full promo box that Lasso and AAWP creates; instead I just need a photo.

In these instances, and there are many across all my niche sites, AMZImage is ideal.

Here’s an example of an Amazon image embedded with this plugin:

SAMSUNG 49-inch Odyssey G9 Gaming Monitor | QHD, 240hz, 1000R Curved, QLED, NVIDIA G-SYNC & FreeSync | LC49G95TSSNXZA Model
This is an example of an Amazon product image embedded with the AMZ Images plugin.  When your website visitors click the image, it spits them out on Amazon via your affiliate link.  Pretty cool, isn’t it?

The following are Amazon affiliate plugins that I do NOT use.

6. Amalinks Pro

I finally gave Amalinks Pro a go and it’s great.  The hype is justified.  Had I known about this plugin before I set some of my sites up with AAWP, I may very well have gone with Amalinks Pro.

This plugin creates attractive Amazon product boxes and tables very, very quickly.

Whether you should get this or AAWP, that’s a tough one.  You’ll be happy with both.

FAQ

What do Amazon affiliate WordPress plugins do?

Amazon affiliate WordPress plugins connect with the Amazon associates API to pull in product images, pricing, descriptions, star ratings and other features Amazon offers on its sales pages.  In fact, it is against Amazon’s affiliate TOS to upload product images so if you want to feature a product image on your site, you need to use an Amazon affiliate plugin or tool or software that complies with Amazon.  I suppose you could use the API yourself if you know how to but for folks like me who can’t code, the plugins help tremendously to keep me compliant.

What’s the very best Amazon affiliate WordPress plugin if I had to choose just one?

This is really hard to answer because the four I use regularly all offer something unique.  If forced to pick just one, I’d choose AAWP just because it meets most of my objectives and in a pinch I could run with that plugin for all Amazon promotions.

What’s the best Amazon affiliate WordPress theme?

For me it’s the Bimber theme by far. I use Bimber on every niche site I own except Fat Stacks blog.  It’s my go-to theme.  It’s reasonably fast (not the fastest mind you) and offers plenty of control.  But the main reason I use it is it has excellent infinite scroll capabilities which is a must-have feature for me.

Is Amazon still worth promoting as an affiliate?

Yes it is but it’s also worth testing other merchants.  I’ve tested several on CJ.com and Shareasale with great results so I’ve rolled those merchants into my affiliate marketing mix. Nevertheless, I still send several hundred clicks to Amazon daily.  Amazon is easy to promote and it converts very well.  I like how it’s so easy to embed the Amazon product images into my content very quickly with AAWP and AMZ Images.

What are some Amazon alternatives for affiliates?

There are many alternatives including Walmart, CJ.com, Shareasale, Avantlink, Skimlinks, Viglink to name a few.  Read my extensive article on Amazon alternatives for affiliates.
