Are you one of the Amazon U.S. affiliate who is struggling with receiving affiliate payment? Well, you are not alone as many others from various part of the world are in the same situation as you.
If you are from countries like U.S., U.K, you can receive payment via payment method such as direct bank deposit. If you are from countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka or other countries where the direct deposit is not available, here I’m sharing the way to receive payment. This question was asked by one of our readers in the forum:
This method is tested & tried by me, so you can use it without any issue. For late comers, you can read this guide & this one to learn about Amazon affiliate program.
Receiving Amazon U.S. Affiliate commission using Payoneer:
I have talked a lot about Payoneer earlier & if you are not aware of Payoneer let me quickly explain it for you. Payoneer is a service like Paypal that can be used to send & receive payment. What unique about them is, Payoneer let you have a U.S. & Euro bank routing number that can be used to receive payment from various services.
In fact, in recent time they have partnered with many services & their reach is growing as we speak. You can read below tutorials to learn more about Payoneer:
- Payoneer back in India: offering $50 signup bonus
- Download Payoneer mobile app to see transactions on smartphone
- How to receive commission junction payment using Payoneer
- How to send money from India to Bangladesh
If you don’t have an account on Payoneer, you can create one using the link below. Do remember; you will also get a bonus of $50 once you have made a transaction of $100 using Payoneer. (Even if you receive Affiliate commission via Amazon of $100 or more, you will get $50 bonus money). Pretty cool, huh?
Once your account is activated or if you already have an active Payoneer account, login to the Payoneer dashboard. Click on Global payment service & the next page you will get USD receiving account (ACH) information. This is how the page would look like:
Now login to your Amazon U.S. affiliate dashboard & click on account settings > Change Payment Method & here you need to enter the details of your U.S. account from Payoneer.
Select the option which says “Pay me by direct deposit (United States Based Associates Only)” & enter the details. You can use below screenshot for the reference:
Click on Submit & that’s it. You need to ensure that you have filled out tax information which is mandatory to receive payment. I missed out on filling tax information & my payment got delayed due to this. So, you don’t want to make the same mistake as me.
I hope this helps those who are earning money from Amazon affiliate program & couldn’t find a way to receive money in their country.
- Create Payoneer account. ($25 signup bonus)
- Go to Amazon Affiliate dashboard

Very good guide. My commission is still unpaid. I do agree with your guide but I have a question – Declaring direct payment to bank it clearly says that US based affiliates only, does this implies that you are US resident and you should enter TAX details accordingly, which means that all the amount will be received after US tax cutting for which I don’t have any understanding on how much percentage will be cut down from the original amount.
Besides this, how can I provide US TAX Details. — I have Indian Tax details?
I have the same concern.
Amazon needs 3 details: 1) Payment details, 2) Tax details and 3) Address.
Now, even if you provide US payment details using Payoneer, how will you provide the remaining 2 — Taxation and Local US address? As Yoyesh Khetani has highlighted, it clearly says “only for US based affiliates”?
@Harsh Agrawal, as you’ve said you got the payment using this method, what information did you actually provide. Do you have US Taxation details and the local Address?
Exactly same problem. Error comes as soon as i enter the info using payoneer as am based in India.
I have the same problem, because I am based in China.
Amazon said that the payee address is China, so they cannot transfer the amount to my payoneer.
Is there anyone help me out of this?
Hi Harsh,
It’s an useful post for amazon affiliate marketers like me and others. Till date am receiving my amount through cheque from amazon, it’s not fine. For mturk, they are offering direct deposit to indians, but for amazon they are not pay through direct deposit. Am having an account in payoneer, i don’t know about this option for generating ACH information. Thank you very much for sharing this harsh. Useful info.
Bro please answer my one question..
I’m from Bangladesh where Payoneer is one of the payment solution for us. Now my question is that, can I buy hosting & receive affiliate payment from Hostgator, bluehost and so on through payoneer instead of PayPal????
@Salek
You can’t use Payoneer to buy hosting or anything.
Hostgator Affiliate program is now powered via ImpactRadius & here you can use the Payoneer to receive payment.

For Bluehost it’s not possible at this moment!
Hi Harsh,
I remember you have written about Payoneer earlier as well. Just a question here – is this like having an American bank or something else? I just want to make sure because it looks like having the bank account kind of information like routing and ABA numbers.
@Pankaj
You got it right. It’s kind of like that. 🙂
?Kinda funny but finally I got someplace where I can use my payoneer account. May be in the future I’ll get chance to use this way and receive payment.
Thank you @Harsh for sharing this. ?
I used to wonder how Indian affiliates earned in USD and maybe Euros too. Really glad to have found the solution 🙂

I started my affiliate marketing since 16 Feb yet i have not reach any payment.
I agree Payoneer is a very good payment system. I see bigger days ahead for them if PayPal does not remove it’s restrictions from some countries

Hello Harsh,
I have applied for payment with “Pay me by direct deposit” option but I don’t know how to fill Tax Information for this. Would you please give us directions on how to apply for Tax details (or how to fill Tax Information)???
You need to go to “Your Associates Account ” and find a link to “View/Provide Tax Information”.
I think they ask for this information during the initial application process because I had my Tax info already validated when I checked it after reading this article. However, things may differ in your case so to be on the safe side just check it.
