Quick Answer<\/strong>:
You can join the Amazon affiliate program in India for free, either directly through Amazon Associates or through a network like EarnKaro. Amazon pays 0% to 8% of each qualifying product sale, depending on the category. On EarnKaro, you sign up with your mobile number, apply for Amazon in the app, and earn up to 10% commission on every eligible sale. Once approved, you can withdraw confirmed profit from \u20b910 onwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon products are easy to recommend because your audience probably shops there already. The tricky part is the detail: Amazon publishes its commission rates two months at a time, many phones and Apple products now pay nothing, and most guides online still show old rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide covers both ways to join the Amazon affiliate program in India, directly through Amazon Associates or through EarnKaro. For each route, you\u2019ll see what every category pays, which products earn what commission, when you get paid, and what you can realistically earn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon Associates vs EarnKaro: Which Route Should You Pick?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pick Amazon Associates<\/strong> if you own a website, app or public social page with steady traffic, because Amazon pays its published rates straight to you. Pick EarnKaro<\/strong> if you\u2019re starting from your phone and want a \u20b910 withdrawal threshold, because you join from the app and small earnings still reach your bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The table compares both routes on what matters before you join. Amazon\u2019s figures come from Amazon.in Associates Central and EarnKaro\u2019s from EarnKaro\u2019s own pages, all checked on October 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Share a link:<\/strong> you share an Amazon product link that carries your tracking tag (Amazon Associates) or your Profit Link (EarnKaro).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The buyer shops within 24 hours:<\/strong> anything they add to the cart within 24 hours of the click counts, even items you didn\u2019t recommend. They must buy before the cart expires. The window closes once they place an order or arrive through another affiliate\u2019s link.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. You\u2019re credited after delivery:<\/strong> Amazon credits the commission only after the buyer has received the item and paid in full, and deducts it if the item is returned.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    How to Join Amazon Associates Directly<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    You can join Amazon Associates for free at affiliate-program.amazon.in with your Amazon.in account. Amazon reviews your sites only after you drive 3 qualifying sales in your first 180 days, so plan your first posts before you apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n

    2. List every website, app and social page where you\u2019ll post links. Use the exact page URL rather than just \u201cinstagram.com\u201d or \u201cfacebook.com\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Choose NEFT bank transfer (paid once you\u2019re owed \u20b91,000) or cheque (\u20b92,500) as your payment method.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Create tagged links with the product-linking tools in Associates Central, so every link carries your tracking ID.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Add a line on each site identifying you as an Amazon Associate, using the wording in Amazon\u2019s Operating Agreement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    6. Drive 3 qualifying sales to buyers outside your own circle within 180 days, after which Amazon reviews your application.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Who Can Join Amazon Associates India Directly?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Amazon accepts websites, mobile apps and social media pages, but each must meet its content and audience bar. Amazon also says it can\u2019t reassess an application once it has been rejected, so get your pages ready before the review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
