Hi all. I remember reading in the Amazon Affiliate T&Cs that we are not allowed to use images of the products in our blogs and links. However, I see many links on people's
you can use the images but only if you get them through the api....
aawp plugin is one way and now there are others...
i have not had any success getting the images through the api in my account - it always comes up with an error...
maybe now promoting products and showing the result of getting the product is the way to go....
as you say it is a bit crazy - but it is their ball and they determine the rules...

I actually asked Amazon Support team and they confirmed that we are not allowed to use their product images but we can create our images. If you made three sales, you are eligible to have your API and you can use some plugins like Lasso to retrieve product images.
Thanks, Maria. Good to know, although it seems odd that we can't use the images of the products we are promoting! Maybe they want us to buy all the products and take our own pictures!
You're welcome :)
They have changed the SiteStripe rules in December 2023, meaning that only "Get Link Text" option is available.
Haha, good one, but I will not buy all products, of course :)
You can use some AI tools to generate similar images with the product you want to promote.
right now I'm using the Sitestripe tool to add text links which bring up complete info including images of the product I'm linking.
Really?
This is the reply I received from Amazon Support:
"I am very sorry for the inconvenience, the image + link option is no longer available you have to use API"
Do you have an active API?
