Discover how to check Amazon Affiliate earnings effortlessly. Learn tips and tools to track your revenue effectively and boost your income today!

Tracking your Amazon affiliate earnings puts you in control of your affiliate strategy.

You’ll know which links perform best. You’ll spot trends early and adjust your campaigns. 

With clear visibility into your commissions, you can plan content that drives real revenue. 

By using the Reports feature in Amazon Associates Central, you can see your commission income, bounties, and a daily earnings graph all in one place.

Why Monitoring Your Earnings Matters

You publish content. You share affiliate links. But how do you know if those links pay off? Without checking your earnings:

• You might miss high-performing products.
  
• You could waste time on links that don’t convert.
  
• You’ll lack data to guide your content calendar.
  

By contrast, when you track your Amazon affiliate earnings:

• You identify top-converting products quickly.
  
• You optimize your site or social channels based on data.
  
• You build trust with your audience by promoting what truly works.
  

Have you ever wondered which of your links brought in the most sales last week? 

Or which product category earned you the highest commission? 

This guide shows you exactly where to click and what to look for in your Amazon Associates dashboard. 

It breaks down every feature—even if you’ve never logged into the platform before.

1. Accessing Your Amazon Associates Account

1. Visit affiliate-program.amazon.com.
   
2. Click Sign In and enter your credentials.
   
3. You land on the Home page, where you see a snapshot of your earnings and performance.
   

Every country has its own Associates program. Make sure you log in to the correct regional site (e.g., US, UK, CA) that matches your account.

2. Navigating to the Reports Section

Once logged in:

1. Look at the top navigation and click Reports.
   
2. You’ll see several report options:
   
   • Earnings Report
     
   • Orders Report
     
   • Link-Type Performance
     
   • Daily Trends
     
   • Tracking ID Summary
     

These reports combine to give you a full picture of your affiliate performance.

3. Viewing the Earnings Report

The Earnings Report is your primary tool for checking how much you’ve earned. It shows commissions for shipped orders within your chosen time frame.

Key Columns in the Earnings Report

• Product Title
  
• Clicks – Number of times customers clicked your affiliate links.
  
• Items Shipped – Products delivered that originated from your links.
  
• Revenue – Total sales amount from those items.
  
• Commission Income – Your payout percentage of the Revenue column.
  

Referral-Commission Rate Details

• Referral rates can vary by a fraction of a percent due to rounding.
  
• “CE items” (add-on items) may have capped commissions.
  
• Direct-link bonuses appear in the referral rate if applicable .
  

4. Customizing Your Date Range

By default, the Earnings Report shows data for the last 30 days. You can:

1. Click the date selector above the report.
   
2. Choose preset ranges: Today, Last 7 Days, Last 90 Days.
   
3. Or select Custom Date Range, pick any span up to 90 days, then click Apply.
   

Custom ranges help you compare performance before and after a campaign launch or promotional push.

5. Tracking IDs and Their Impact

Tracking IDs let you segment traffic sources. You can create different IDs for:

• Blog posts
  
• Email newsletters
  
• YouTube videos
  

To view data for a specific Tracking ID:

1. In the left panel under Today’s Orders, select your desired Tracking ID.
   
2. The report refreshes to show only that ID’s performance.
   

This feature answers questions like: “Which channel drove the most sales last month?”

6. Understanding Bounties and Today’s Orders

Amazon offers bounties for actions like Prime sign-ups. To view bounties:

• In Today’s Orders, you see both Orders and Bounties updated hourly.
  
• Note that the Earnings Report itself is current as of the previous day.
  

“Today’s Orders” gives near real-time insight (within three hours) into new orders and bounties.

7. Reading the Orders Report

The Orders Report combines clicks and orders for each item:

• Items with orders section shows products ordered and number of clicks.
  
• Items with no orders lists products viewed but not purchased.
  

Click Show all items under the no-orders section to expand that list.

8. Consolidated Summary of Earnings

If you run multiple Associates accounts or countries, link them via Account Settings > Link Store IDs. Then:

1. Click Reports > Consolidated Summary of Earnings.
   
2. See affiliate commissions across all linked store IDs in one view.
   

This global dashboard splits earnings by country and shows “On Amazon” vs. “Off Amazon” earnings.

9. Viewing Your Payment History

Your payment history displays:

• Referral commissions earned
  
• Account adjustments (e.g., chargebacks)
  
• Disbursed payments
  

To view:

1. Click your account name in the top right.
   
2. Select Your Account > Payment History.
   

Here you also access Earnings Reports for any date range.

10. Understanding the Payment Schedule

Amazon pays commissions monthly, about 60 days after the month-end. For example:

• January earnings arrive in late March.
  
• Payment for April lands in late June.
  

You must meet the minimum threshold and have submitted tax information before the payment process.

11. Handling Negative Balances

Negative balances occur due to:

• Order cancellations before shipping
  
• Items that haven’t shipped yet (pre-orders)
  
• Invalid transactions flagged by the system.
  

Review your Orders Report and Payment History to identify why your balance dipped below zero.

12. Troubleshooting Common Issues

• Missing earnings: Wait up to 24 hours for data to update, then refresh the Reports page.
  
• Discrepancies across Tracking IDs: Ensure you check all IDs under Today’s Orders (Reddit).
  
• Payment delays: Confirm you’ve provided valid banking and tax info.
  

If problems persist, contact Amazon Associates Support via the Help menu.

13. Advanced Tip: Exporting Reports

For deeper analysis:

1. Click Download Reports under Reports.
   
2. Choose Earnings Report, Orders Report, or Link-Type Report.
   
3. Select file format: .csv or .xml.
   

Import these into spreadsheets or BI tools to create custom dashboards.
