Becoming an Associate
An Associate earns commissions by using their own website to refer sales to www.amazon.com. To get the commission, an Associate must have an Associate ID. This ID works only in the locale in which you register. If you want to be an Associate in more than one locale, you must register in all relevant locales.

Getting Your Associate Tag
When you register as an Amazon Associate, an Associate tag is sent to you by return email. An Associate tag, also known as an Associate ID, is an automatically generated unique identifier that you will need to make requests through the Product Advertising API. When you log in to the Amazon Associates website for your locale, the page that you are directed to includes a message that says "Signed in as" followed by your Associate tag.
