On August 27, 2026, YouTube announced an update to its platform features, allowing eligible American creators to add native tags for Amazon products in short videos, long videos, and live streams, and earn sales commissions. This feature introduces a vast catalog of products through native integration, allowing creators to directly associate products without manual linking; if a specific product cannot be found, they can contact YouTube support or use the system’s automatic tagging function to supplement their search. Revenue data will be displayed in YouTube Studio, and commissions from returns will be deducted. Currently, this program is available only to American creators. Although the tags are visible globally, transactions will be directed to Amazon’s US site for completion.
