Amazon is the default catalog behind ChatAds’ Amazon Affiliate Links monetization: it’s the largest consumer catalog on the internet, and there’s nothing to integrate on the supply side. When the AI mentions a product, ChatAds matches it to an Amazon listing and generates a link using your Associate ID. The affiliate relationship is entirely yours:
1

Sign up for Amazon Associates

If you don’t already have an account:
  1. Go to affiliate-program.amazon.com
  2. Click Sign Up and log in with your Amazon account (or create one)
  3. Fill in your account information, website details, and preferred payment method
  4. Amazon provides your Associate ID (also called a tracking ID)
The sign-up takes about 5 minutes. Amazon approves most applications immediately, then reviews your first qualifying purchases within 180 days.The specific site running the ChatAds widget must be listed as one of your properties in your Associates account - Amazon’s Participation Requirements (§1) require this, and links generated for an unlisted site won’t earn commission.
Already an Associate? Skip ahead - your existing Associate ID works as-is.

Find your Associate ID

Your Associate ID looks like yoursite-20 - typically your site name followed by -20 for the US marketplace. Find it in the top-right corner of Associates Central or under Account Settings > Manage Your Tracking IDs.Amazon Associates is a separate program per marketplace, each with its own tracking ID. If you also participate in the UK program, your UK tracking ID typically ends in -21.

Add your ID to ChatAds

  1. Log into app.getchatads.com
  2. Open the Monetize tab
  3. Enter your ID in the Amazon Affiliate Tag (US) field; if you have a UK tracking ID, add it in the Amazon Affiliate Tag (UK) field
  4. Save
ChatAds picks the tag by marketplace: .com links use your US tag, .co.uk links use your UK tag. There’s no cross-marketplace fallback - if a UK visitor triggers a link and you haven’t set a UK tag, ChatAds won’t generate a .co.uk link for that catalog. A US-only publisher needs just the US tag.
Create a dedicated tracking ID for ChatAds (e.g. yoursite-chatads-20) so ChatAds-driven conversions show up separately in Amazon’s reporting.

​
Earnings & Reporting

You keep 100% of commissions, so all earnings reporting happens in Amazon’s systems: Amazon pays monthly, approximately 60 days after the end of the month in which the sale occurred. Commission rates vary by category - see Amazon’s commission income statement. On the ChatAds side, the Click Log Export gives you every individual link click to reconcile against Amazon’s reports.
ChatAds inserts the links; it doesn’t process or track Amazon commissions. For questions about earnings, payouts, or rates, refer to Amazon Associates Help.

​
Using a Different Catalog

If you have your own product feed, brand inventory, or a private affiliate network you’d rather link to, ChatAds can use it instead - see Custom Catalogs.
