When an Amazon storefront is enough

An Amazon storefront is enough if your community orders from Amazon anyway and you mostly mention products in videos. According to Amazon, the personal address at amazon.de/shop/ is especially useful when you recommend products out loud or cannot add links, for example in Instagram captions.

Say you show three kitchen gadgets in a reel, all of them sold on Amazon. At the end you only mention your Amazon address, and your community finds all three on your page. Under the programme policies, Amazon keeps the rights to the page and its address and also decides on the page’s content and appearance.

How it works on wyrld

On wyrld, Amazon is one of more than 90,000 partner shops, which together carry over a billion products. You paste the link to a product or pick it from the catalogue. wyrld works out the brand, name and variant, looks for the same item in its partner shops and automatically creates an affiliate link for each offer it finds; you never have to join a network yourself. If wyrld finds a product in several shops, your community sees the offers side by side with their prices and buys directly from the shop, at no extra cost. The cheapest new offer is labelled “Best price”. In a 2022 Bitkom survey, 65% of online shoppers in Germany named the lowest price as a decisive factor when choosing a shop.

Depending on the shop, you earn per click, per sale or both, settled at the beginning of the following month by Gutschrift (self-billing credit note). If you work with a talent agency, it can maintain your storefront with you from its own dashboard and see your figures. wyrld settles the agency’s commission share, 0 to 100% per creator, automatically and deducts it from your earnings, with separate credit notes. Through wyrld Boost, brands also pay for campaigns that run across many creators, based on KPIs they set in advance. You decide yourself if you join a campaign, and there is no entitlement to campaigns.

wyrld’s creator terms do not require exclusivity, so as far as wyrld is concerned your Amazon storefront and other programmes can keep running. wyrld is free for creators. You need to act as a business (Unternehmer under § 14 BGB, the German Civil Code), that is, in the course of a trade or a self-employed profession. Your storefront is live right after sign-up and appears in the creator overview after a review by the wyrld team; the creator terms set no follower minimum.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What does a creator storefront add to an Amazon storefront?

According to Amazon, your storefront shows products on Amazon and you are paid for purchases. A creator storefront with products from many shops can also show brands that aren’t on Amazon. On wyrld you just paste the link, wyrld creates the affiliate links, and your community sees the offers found side by side with prices. Depending on the shop, you earn per click, per sale or both.

Can I recommend products that aren’t on Amazon?

For the influencer page, Amazon’s help pages suggest looking for a similar product if you cannot find an item on Amazon, and point out that thousands of new products join the catalogue every day. To show that exact product, you need a link to a shop that sells it, either through that shop’s affiliate programme or through a creator storefront that links products from many shops.

Can I link Amazon products through LTK or a creator storefront?

Yes. According to LTK’s FAQ, Amazon is one of the 7,000 shops on LTK. On wyrld, Amazon is one of more than 90,000 partner shops. If wyrld finds the same item in other partner shops too, the offers appear side by side with their prices.

Can I use an Amazon storefront and a creator storefront at the same time?

wyrld’s creator terms do not require exclusivity. For several links in your Instagram bio, Amazon’s own help pages recommend a link tool that keeps all your links in one place, such as your Amazon storefront, a blog or affiliate links. Your wyrld storefront can be one of those links.
