But, the only catch of Amazon e-commerce platform is it gives the qualified sales only when the action is completed by the affiliate who is working on the e-commerce platform of the Amazon.
What is a qualified sale?
A qualified sale is something which is offered by Amazon only when the customers does the following things through the affiliated think.
- The customer clicks a specific affiliate link.
- The product purchased must be added to the shopping cart during a single session following the click above.
- The customer must pay for and receive the product purchased.

The real question which lies behind is how the merchants are managing affiliates. The merchant should adequately explain the brand and products which the affiliate marketer has to promote. The knowledge of the product should be explained well to the merchant, and on the other hand, the marketing team will surely track the affiliates regarding their work through the software, and then only they execute the payment to the affiliates.
