How to share Amazon product links on your socials

Amazon is one of the most popular online shopping platforms — a go-to destination for anything from expensive gadgets to cozy socks. And you can use its popularity to your advantage by marketing products that promote your brand.

By adding Amazon product links to your website and socials, you’re not only helping shoppers find new products, but you’re also helping sellers reach a broader audience — especially as a creator or small business owner. Plus, if you’re seeing a lot of engagement with these links, you can become an Amazon associate to earn commissions.

Read on to learn how to share Amazon product links with your audience to monetize your content and up your income.

Why share Amazon links on your socials?

If you’re an influencer trying to engage your followers and increase your earnings, sharing Amazon links for products you endorse offers several benefits:

• Lets viewers purchase products they want to test
• Helps you connect with your audience by sharing what you own
• Reinforces your brand by sharing products you support and use

How to share an Amazon product link from the app

Sharing an Amazon link from the mobile app, whether you’re an Android or iPhone user, follows seven straightforward steps.

iPhone

1. Open the Amazon app on your iPhone
2. Sign in to or create your Amazon account
3. Enter the name or description of the product you want to share in the search bar at the top of your screen
4. Scroll down until you find the product listing, tapping to expand it
5. You’ll see a share button in the top-right corner of the product image — tap this to open your sharing options
6. Share the product via Facebook Messenger, Instagram Chats, X or any other platform
7. You can also share the product listing via message — simply enter the recipient’s name, phone number or email address into the relevant field, and tap Send

Android

1. Open the Amazon shopping app on your Android device, or visit the Play Store to install it
2. Enter your username and password to log in to your Amazon account (or create a new account)
3. Find the search bar at the top of the screen and type in the name or description of the product you’re looking for
4. Scroll until you find the right product, and tap to expand the listing
5. Look for the share icon in the product image’s top-right corner and tap it to reveal the sharing options
6. Share the product on WhatsApp, Snapchat or any other channel (click the More button to view all options)
7. The sharing options depend on the apps installed on your iPhone or Android device, so Facebook won’t show up if you don’t have it on your phone

How to share an Amazon product link from your browser

While sharing Amazon links from your phone is quick and useful for creators on the go, you can do the same from any browser. Here’s how:

1. Choose your preferred browser and head to Amazon’s website

2. If you aren’t already logged in, Amazon will display a little pop-up in the top-right corner asking you to sign in to your account

3. Create an account if you don’t have one, or log in to an existing account with your username and password. This isn’t necessary, but we recommend logging in because you might want to save a few items to your Amazon wish list. If you want to skip the sign-in process, ignore the pop-up and continue browsing.

4. You’ll see a search bar at the top of the screen. Enter the name or description of the product you want to share. Hit Enter or click the magnifying glass next to the search bar.

5. Find your desired listing and click on it to open its dedicated product page

6. In the top-right corner of the product image, you’ll see an icon of a rectangle with an arrow pointing upwards. This is the Share button, which you can click to see your sharing options — via email, Pinterest, Facebook, X and Copy Link.

7. You can share the product listing directly through email or on Pinterest, Facebook and X — but if you want to share the link on other platforms, like Instagram or YouTube, click the Copy Link option and paste it wherever you want.

How to share Amazon product links on WhatsApp or text

There are two ways to share Amazon product links via WhatsApp or text — directly from the app or by copying the URL. Here’s a step-by-step guide for both.

From the app

1. Visit the app on your iPhone or Android device
2. Find the product you want to share
3. Tap the gray Share button within the product image and choose the More option
4. Select WhatsApp or any other messaging platform, and choose the person (or people) you want to send the link to

Copying the URL

1. Follow the same steps mentioned above until you reach the product listing
2. Tap the gray Share button in the product image’s top-right corner and choose the Copy Link option
3. Tap the link text to copy the product listing and paste it into the recipient’s chatbox on WhatsApp and other messaging platforms
4. If you’re using a browser application like Chrome, you can head to the URL field at the top of the screen and tap it to copy and share the same link

WhatsApp is a private, end-to-end encrypted messaging platform, meaning you can only share Amazon product links with those in your contact list. If you’re looking for sponsors or a broader audience as a creator, you’re better off sharing links through social media or email.

How to send an Amazon product link by email

Sharing an Amazon link through email lets you reach a broader audience with a single click. You can create a community, encourage followers to join and send them regular emails and newsletters with all your curated Amazon products. Here’s how to share links via email:

1. Open the Amazon app on your iPhone or Android device, or use a browser to visit the Amazon website
2. Find the product you want to share and expand its listing
3. Scroll until you find the right product, and tap to expand the listing
4. Tap the Share icon within the product image for the sharing options
5. Choose Email
6. Your browser will redirect you to your default emailing platform, where you can add the product name, link and description to share with recipients
