Amazon Associates Is Over. Here's What Pays More.
Amazon is pulling the plug on its Associates program. But your audience is still clicking, and brands still need your traffic. MaverickX connects publishers and creators to brand-direct Amazon Attribution partnerships — with higher payouts, better tracking, and real brand relationships behind every link.

Why This Matters Now
Associates Was a Starting Point. Not an Endgame.
Amazon Associates was convenient — but it was always Amazon's program, on Amazon's terms, at Amazon's rates. Now that it's going away, publishers who relied on it are scrambling.
MaverickX was built for exactly this moment. We've spent years building direct relationships with brands — and we've structured those relationships so publishers get a better rate than the standard affiliate card, backed by Amazon Attribution data that actually closes the loop.
The Process
Your Content. Our Brands. Trackable Revenue.

Get Paid More
Because you're earning through brand-direct Attribution rather than Amazon's affiliate rate card, brands in the MaverickX network can pay you an uplift above standard Associates rates for the same traffic.
The Difference
Not Just a Replacement. An Upgrade.
| Amazon Associates | MaverickX Attribution | |
|---|---|---|
| Program Control | Amazon keeps changing this game | Brand-direct partnerships |
| Commission Rate | Standard affiliate rate card or no rates for paid traffic | Uplift above rate card available |
| Attribution Window | 24 hours (standard) | 14 days |
| Tracking | Basic referral data | Clicks, DPVs, ATCs, GMV, Revenue Per Visit |

| Program Stability | Just ended for a lot of you | Built on Amazon's own Attribution infrastructure |
