AZand marketplace (IT,DE,FR,ES,CO.UK,COM, etc.). - Enter your Amazon affiliate tag.

You can enter multiple tags for the same channel, one per Amazon marketplace.

Awin for external stores
External stores like Comet, Unieuro, MediaWorld can use Awin when the merchant is configured in your Awin account.

Amazon PAAPI and Creators API
Amazon APIs are mainly used to search products, enrich data, and improve Amazon post creation.
- PAAPI credentials โ classic Product Advertising API.
