Getting Affiliate Payments from Amazon UK?

Norfur

So most of this is copy-pasted from an earlier thread that hadn't been answered... hoping to have some light shed on my situation.

As the title implies, I'm an Amazon affiliate, and I recently passed the requirements to get into Amazon UK's affiliate program.

I have no idea how the GBP payment service is going to work for me though. Payoneer provided me with an account number and sort code, but Amazon is asking for a BIC and IBAN.

I contacted both Payoneer and Amazon.co.uk. Payoneer sent me to their guide blog on that, but the guide's instructions are for a SELLER account rather than an ASSOCIATE account. I can't afford to set up a Seller Account. When I asked Amazon about accepting a Sort Code/Account Number, they said that associates MUST use an IBAN/BIC, and that converting the Sort/Account was my bank's responsibility.

When I got back to Payoneer on this.... they sent me to that same blog post with instructions to set up for a SELLER account.

Does anybody here know how to get Direct Payment to the Payoneer GBP Service for Associate Accounts? This concern has gone back and forth for a week before I just gave up and decided to get back to building my affiliate sites.

Except I checked recently, and I'm starting to get GBP's in my Amazon UK account. So I don't want that money to be stuck there, and I most certainly don't want to have to wait for a check from Amazon UK. I signed up to Payoneer so that I could get direct payment, after all.

So... does anyone here know...? Please...? :(

    I have the same problem and the customer support has been giving me the same instruction that are only applicable for Amazon UK FBA sellers. I wonder if they know that Amazon Affiliate program and FBA are two different things.

    :/ Also having the same problem and the customer support would insist to point me to the guide about Amazon sellers. FBA and Amazon Affiliate are 2 different things.

    I have the same problem. Sort code/Account Number can't be added, because Amazon Associates needs IBAN/BIC.

    I tried to add EU payment service instead of UK and it didn't work, because it can't accept GBP currency.

    There was an issue recently from Amazon's side of not being able to accept the UK payment service details Payoneer provides. As far as we are aware the issue has been resolved recently. It is recommended to contact Amazon if you are still having problems transferring funds to the payment details that were provided to you. 

    In regards to the thread question, while we work with many companies world wide that honor our details, you have to remember that the process of setting up the withdraw service may be different with each country. The blog you were given refers to the Amazon seller account set up. You will need to contact Amazon through your account with them to see how you can set up the details so you can start getting your revenue from them. 

    Happy and willing to answer general questions.

    I will look into this and see if we can make sure to avoid giving mixed messages in the future. In the meantime as far as I know there is no direct affiliate payment option from Amazon. You can check to see if they support the same payment method used for Amazon Sellers. If yes, then it should be a breeze to receive payments from them in the same fashion.

    @agayarov , @evitarubin In case you need the IBAN/BIC to receive payments from Amazon as an Amazon Vendor UK or an Amazon Associates, please contact our support directly and they will be able to provide you with those details. Let us know if that helps.

    This is the way the UK payment details are issued, but because companies such as Amazon request the IBAN and BIC to receive payments in GBP , we have to provide them by following a special procedure.
