How to track Amazon affiliate commissions
Most creators film, post, and hope. The ones who grow know exactly which products earn. This guide shows you a free way to harvest your Amazon commission history and see which ASINs pay, so you can film more of what works and stop guessing.
Why tracking commissions changes everything
Amazon pays you a commission on the products people buy after watching your videos, but the earnings are spread across dozens or hundreds of ASINs. Without a clear view, you cannot tell whether your best video is carrying your whole account or a handful of quiet products are quietly outperforming your favorites. Once you can see which products earn, every filming decision gets easier: you double down on winners and stop pouring hours into content that never converts.
The free way to do it
You do not need a paid plan to track commissions. Orders Butler is a free-forever butler and works on any account, even a lapsed one. Here is the full workflow.
1. Install the desktop app
Download the app from the download page and install it.
- On Windows: run the downloaded installer, then open Influencer Butler from the Start menu. It stays in the system tray so harvesting can run in the background.
- On Mac: open the downloaded .dmg, drag Influencer Butler into your Applications folder, then launch it from Launchpad. It sits in the menu bar while it works.
2. Connect your Amazon account
Sign in to your Amazon Influencer account inside the app so it can read your storefront and your order history. This is what gives the butlers accurate ASIN signal to work from.
3. Harvest your orders and commissions
Run Orders Butler. It pulls your real Amazon purchase and commission history into one searchable table, so the rest of the app, and you, are working from real numbers instead of guesses. Orders Butler is free.
4. Read Earnings Intelligence to find best-earning ASINs
Open Earnings Intelligence. It takes the harvested data and surfaces your best-earning products, so the ASINs quietly making you money rise to the top instead of hiding in a spreadsheet. This is where "which products earn" stops being a mystery.
5. Act on it and film more of what earns
Now the data pays for itself. Film more content for the products that already convert, and refresh or retag content for the ones that have gone quiet. Your effort follows the money instead of your gut. Pair this with Orders Butler feeding a content calendar and you have a simple, repeatable loop: track, rank, film, repeat.

Browse smarter with the free extension
The free companion Chrome extension adds live intel while you browse Amazon: influencer versus brand video counts on any product page, content gaps in your own orders, and per-product earnings badges. It needs no login and pairs naturally with the desktop commission tracking, so you can spot opportunities the moment you see a product, then confirm the earnings back in the app.
