Which affiliate links work
The link on your pin is always the link you pasted. The tool only follows it to find the product photos and details.
| Link type | Example | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon link with your tag | amazon.com/dp/…?tag=you-20 | Kept exactly as pasted |
| Amazon link without a tag | amazon.com/dp/… | You get a warning, and your tag is added if you type it |
| Amazon short link | amzn.to/… | Followed for photos. The short link stays on the pin |
| LTK, ShareASale, Impact, Awin, Rakuten | Network redirect links | The redirect is followed for photos. Your link is kept |
Can you put Amazon affiliate links on Pinterest?
Yes, Pinterest allows affiliate links on pins. Disclose them, for example with #ad, and link to the product page, not to a search results page.
See the FTC's disclosure guide for what counts as a clear disclosure. For the wider approach, read Pinterest for Amazon affiliates.

How to make a Pinterest pin from an affiliate link
-
Step 1
Paste your link
Use an Amazon product link, an amzn.to short link, or a network link from LTK, ShareASale, Impact, Awin or Rakuten.
-
Step 2
Your tag stays on it
The pin link is exactly what you pasted. If an Amazon link has no tag, the tool warns you, and you can type your tag to have it added.
-
Step 3
Post the pin
Download the 1000 x 1500 pin, then copy the link, title and description, with #ad already added, into Pinterest.
Frequently asked questions
Does Pinterest allow affiliate links?
Yes. Pinterest allows affiliate links on pins as long as you disclose them and follow its community guidelines. This tool adds #ad to every description it writes. Link to the product page itself rather than to a search results page.
Can you put Amazon affiliate links on Pinterest?
Yes. Amazon Associates can share their tagged links on Pinterest. Disclose the relationship on each pin, for example with #ad, and keep your Associates tag in the link so the sale is credited to you. The FTC asks for a disclosure that is clear and easy to notice.
Will my Amazon tag survive?
Yes. The pin link is exactly the link you pasted, so your tag is never rewritten. The result shows which tag was detected. If your Amazon link has no tag, the tool warns you that the pin will not earn commission and lets you add one.
Can I use amzn.to short links?
Yes. The tool follows the short link to the product page to find the product photos and details, and keeps the short link as the link on the pin, so your tracking is unchanged.
Which affiliate networks work?
Any link that redirects to a product page works, including LTK, ShareASale, Impact, Awin and Rakuten. The tool follows the redirect to find the product photos and leaves your tracking link as it is.
How many affiliate pins can I make?
You can make 1 AI pin and 2 template pins a week. Each pin is 1000 x 1500 pixels and comes with the link to use, a title of up to 100 characters and a description that ends with the #ad disclosure.
How do I make pins for all my products?
A Made to Spark plan turns a list of product links into a month of pins, each carrying your tag, and schedules them to your Pinterest boards.
