Does this plugin get you banned from the Amazon Affiliate program?

    My understanding is that Amazon’s TOS strictly states that you can’t use reviews from their website, on your own website. This is grounds for getting banned from the Amazon associates program.

    Does using this plugin violate any of Amazon’s affiliate rules?

    This is a fair question to ask but I’ve archived your review where you ask the same thing again.

    Reviews aren’t to be used for that purpose. You weren’t leaving a review, you were trying to use the review to get an support answer.

    Hello, Ranker.

    This plugin does not violate the Amazon ToS because it uses Amazon’s own Product Advertising API. The API is specifically for the purpose of showcasing products from Amazon (including the use of customer reviews), as outlined here:

    https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/latest/DG/Welcome.html

    In order to use the plugin, you must be an Amazon associate.

    Thanks for your question and let me know if I can be of further assistance.

    James
