Amazon usually takes this action because it could not verify where affiliate traffic is coming from. The most common causes are:
The Amazon Store ID in Scaled Creator does not match the Store ID in Amazon Associates.
Not all websites and social media accounts that share affiliate links have been added to Amazon Associates.
Step 1: Add All Websites & Social Accounts
In Amazon Associates, add every platform where affiliate links are shared. At a minimum, add Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook. Facebook often does not get accepted, but you should still add it.

Step 2: Verify the Amazon Store ID
Go to https://www.scaledcreator.com/accounts and make sure the Amazon Store ID entered in Scaled Creator exactly matches the Store ID shown in Amazon Associates.
Important: do not use your Amazon Influencer ID (which typically starts with ONAMZ). Use your Amazon Store ID instead.

Step 3: Request Another Review
Once all websites and social accounts have been added and the Store ID matches, reply to Amazon's rejection email and request another review of the application.
If Amazon still declines the application, creating a new Amazon Associates account and completing the steps above often resolves the issue.
Additional Information
Based on our testing and feedback from many Scaled Creator users, affiliate commissions are attributed correctly through Scaled Creator when the Amazon Store ID is configured correctly. In almost every case, this is an Amazon Associates account configuration issue rather than a problem with the affiliate links themselves.
