Checkout on Amazon Feature

Let visitors add Amazon products to a WooCommerce cart, then complete payment on Amazon. Your site stays “local” (no visible affiliate links for Google), while your Associate Tag is applied on Amazon.

Check this video guide for a very similar feature in the Content Egg plugin:

Activate

  1. Use a Simple WooCommerce product

    • This feature works only with Simple products (not External/Affiliate products).

    • Go to External Importer → Settings → Import → Product type and select Simple/Variable Product.

  2. Enable the Amazon checkout button

    • Go to External Importer → Settings → General

    • Set Amazon Checkout Button to Enable Amazon checkout button.

  3. Customize button text (optional)

    • Go to External Importer → Settings → Frontend → Frontend Texts.

  4. Set your Affiliate ID (Associate Tag)

    • Go to External Importer → Settings → Deeplinks

    • Add your parameter, for example: tag=yourid-20

How it works

  1. Customer adds Amazon items to your WooCommerce cart.

  2. On the cart page, the default WooCommerce checkout button becomes “Checkout on Amazon”.

  3. Clicking it redirects to Amazon’s “Add to Shopping Cart” confirmation page.

  4. Customer clicks Add to Cart on Amazon → items go into their Amazon cart and your Associate Tag is applied automatically.

Tips

  • Don’t mix products from different Amazon locales (e.g., amazon.com and amazon.de) in the same WooCommerce cart.

  • If the cart contains Amazon + non-Amazon items, only Amazon items are sent to the Amazon cart.
