Amazon Associates Disclosure on Pinterest Pins (Templates)

Here is the truth about Amazon affiliate disclosure on Pinterest: readers often trust you more when you are honest about earning commission. Transparent disclosure signals “I stand behind this product.” Hidden affiliate links signal “I am hiding something.” This guide shows how to disclose in a way that builds trust—not kills it.

Disclose on the destination you control (your post), and be transparent in pin copy where it fits naturally.

Pin description template (adapt to your voice)

“I may earn a commission if you buy through my links (at no extra cost to you). Full details on the article.” — Why this works: you disclose early, then deliver on the promise. Readers feel respected.

Landing page template

Place disclosure before the first affiliate link—not at the bottom of the page, not only on your About page.

• Before first affiliate link: “As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”
• If you received products free, say so plainly.
• Avoid implying Amazon endorses you.

Common mistakes (and account risk)

• Disclosure only on an About page while product links live on posts—Pinterest and Amazon both treat that as deceptive.
• “#ad” on Pinterest without matching clarity on the blog.
• Overpromising results in pin text while burying affiliate relationship—readers who feel misled never return.
