Amazon India Affiliate Commission Rates 2026

Here are the Amazon India affiliate commission rates as of 2026. Electronics (laptops, phones, TVs): 1-3%. Fashion and Apparel: 5-9%. Books and e-Books: 7%. Beauty and Personal Care: 4-6%. Home and Kitchen: 4-5%. Sports and Outdoors: 4%. Toys and Baby Products: 4-5%. Grocery and Gourmet: 3%. Amazon Devices (Echo, Fire TV): 4-6%.

Some categories pay flat 0% — these include Amazon Pantry, digital music and video downloads, and gift cards. Always check the official Amazon Associates commission schedule before building a content strategy around a new category, as rates can change with program updates.

For content creators and influencers, fashion is the highest-earning Amazon affiliate category in India with commissions of 5-9%. A fashion YouTuber or Instagram creator linking to ₹3,000 kurtas or ₹5,000 shoes can generate meaningful income at scale. Beauty and Personal Care at 4-6% is another strong performer, especially for skincare and makeup review channels.

Books at 7% are excellent for educational, self-improvement, and book review creators. While individual book prices are lower, readers often buy multiple books per session, boosting cart value. Avoid building your entire strategy around electronics — the 1-3% commission means you need enormous volume to generate significant income.

To maximize earnings, focus on product categories where you have genuine expertise and can create high-quality content. Video content consistently outperforms text in affiliate conversions — product review videos, unboxing, and 'best of' listicle videos drive higher click-through rates. FluxNote lets you produce these videos using AI-generated faceless content at scale without needing to appear on camera.

The 24-hour cookie window on Amazon India means that any purchase a user makes within 24 hours of clicking your link earns you a commission — not just the product you linked to. Drive traffic during high-intent moments like product research sessions, and your earnings per click will be significantly higher than average.
