Amazon Ads integration — coming soon
Native API integration for Amazon Ads is in active development. Until then, you can attribute every Amazon Ads dollar today with a two-step UTM-and-pixel bridge: tag your Amazon Ads URLs with the UTM template below, paste the Admaxxer pixel on your storefront, and our 30-platform smart-referrer classifier (per GL#361) auto-attributes revenue with 365-day first-touch persistence.
The bridge — use our pixel + UTM tagging today
Three steps. About five minutes total.
Step 1 — Install the Admaxxer pixel
If you haven't already, drop the Admaxxer pixel into your storefront's <head>. Works on Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, and any custom storefront. See install instructions for 35+ platforms.
Step 2 — Tag every Amazon Ads URL with UTMs
In the Amazon Ads UI, append these query parameters to every destination URL:
utm_source=amazon— identifies Amazon Ads as the sourceutm_medium=cpc— categorizes the channel typeutm_campaign=<your_campaign_name>— for per-campaign breakdown in MER, ROAS, and cohort LTVutm_content=<creative_or_keyword>— optional, for per-creative reporting
Example tagged URL:
https://yourstore.com/dtc-collection?utm_source=amazon&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=amazon-dsp-2026-q2&utm_content=hero-creative
Step 3 — Revenue auto-attribution kicks in
The first time a visitor lands on your site from a tagged Amazon Ads URL, the Admaxxer pixel writes the UTM tuple into localStorage for 365 days. Our pixel already captures amzn_cid from Amazon Ads click URLs (per GL#361) — even before native integration ships. When the visitor checks out — even months later, even from a different device that we stitch via email_hash — the order is attributed back to the original Amazon Ads campaign on the visitor_payments row.
Tag once, our 30-platform classifier (including AI-chat referrers) does the rest.
What's already working today via UTMs
- Revenue attribution per campaign — both last-touch and first-touch, on every order row.
- Click-ID coverage — amzn_cid captured at payment time on visitor_payments rows.
- Cohort LTV by acquisition campaign — 7 / 30 / 90-day windows, partial-refund-aware.
- MMM contribution analysis — the channel shows up in the geometric-adstock model with full per-campaign granularity.
- Cross-session stitch — first-touch UTMs persist 365 days, so a click in March that converts in August still attributes correctly.
- One classifier, every channel — tag once and the 30-platform smart-referrer classifier (including AI-chat traffic) handles the rest with no per-source config.
What native integration will add when shipped
UTM tagging gets you accurate revenue-side attribution today. Native API integration adds spend-side reconciliation and platform-side reporting depth:
- Spend + revenue reconciliation for Sponsored Products that convert on Amazon (off-site, where the pixel can't reach).
- Sponsored Brands and Amazon DSP cost-per-click pulled via the LWA refresh-token flow.
- ASIN-level performance: which products are driving Amazon Ads ROAS vs DTC ROAS for the same SKU.
- Amazon Marketing Cloud (AMC) audience joins onto first-party revenue cohorts.
- Amazon Attribution tags auto-applied so DTC-landing campaigns surface in the same MER tile.
Amazon Ads specifics
Amazon Ads splits across three product surfaces — Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, and Amazon DSP. For DSP and Sponsored Brands campaigns that send traffic to your DTC storefront (rather than the Amazon product page), UTM-tag the destination URL. The pixel captures amzn_cid on those landing-page hits per GL#361. Amazon's affiliate-style parameters (tag=, linkCode=, ascsubtag=) are different from UTMs — the pixel preserves arbitrary URL params on the visitor_payments row, so both ride along without conflict. Sponsored Products that route through amazon.com checkout aren't pixel-attributable (the conversion happens entirely on Amazon); native LWA-refresh-token integration will pull that revenue side directly.
Frequently asked
- My Sponsored Products convert on Amazon — can Admaxxer attribute them?
- Not via the pixel — the conversion happens on amazon.com, off your domain. Native integration (when shipped) pulls Sponsored Products revenue directly from the Amazon Ads API via the LWA refresh-token flow. For now, those orders sit in your Amazon Seller Central reports outside the Admaxxer dashboard.
- What about Amazon DSP campaigns that drive traffic to my DTC store?
- Those are fully attributable today via UTMs + the amzn_cid click-ID (already captured per GL#361). UTM-tag your DSP destination URLs and the visitor_payments row picks up both campaign-level UTMs and the click-ID at payment time.
- Do I need Amazon Attribution tags?
- If you want spend reconciliation in Amazon Seller Central before our native integration ships — yes, set up Amazon Attribution and pass through both their tracking parameters and Admaxxer UTMs. Both can coexist on the same URL; the pixel preserves arbitrary URL params.
- When will native Amazon Ads land?
- Active development. The LWA refresh-token paste-token flow is the canonical auth path (matching Meta and Google's paste-token pattern). Star the integration on /integrations to be notified.
