Quick answer: No, not everyone has Amazon’s Sponsored Products for Creators “Auto-Enroll experiment” yet. As of July 20, 2026, the best evidence points to a small-to-medium test group, several creators have now confirmed it independently, not just one account. It shows up automatically in Creator Connections under an “Affiliate+ campaigns” tab, and there is no known way to opt in or request it. If you have it, it still misses items, so keep running a manual scan too. It never stacks with a regular Affiliate+ commission on the same product, and it is worth checking your Associates payment history for a separate “sponsored product adjustment” line item some creators are reporting.
A couple of days ago we wrote about a popup that showed up in one of our Creator Connections dashboards: an “Auto-Enroll experiment” quietly signing up already-promoted products for Sponsored Products for Creators (SPC), Amazon’s pay-per-click program, without anyone having to accept a campaign manually. At the time we could only speak to one account. Here’s the updated picture now that a few more data points have come in.
Quick recap, if you missed the first post
SPC itself isn’t new. It’s been live since roughly March 2026, and it pays creators a small fixed amount per qualified click on a sponsored product, separate from regular affiliate commission. What’s new is the delivery method: instead of browsing a list of campaigns and hitting accept, some creators are getting auto-enrolled into SPC on products they’re already promoting, once those products start driving eligible clicks. It shows up under an “Affiliate+ campaigns” tab, and enrolled products land straight in your Accepted tab.
One rule worth repeating because it hasn’t changed: if a product qualifies for both a regular Affiliate+ bonus campaign and SPC, the regular commission wins. You don’t get both.
What’s actually new since last week
The single biggest update is that this is no longer a one-account story. A creator (u/StandInTheCorner on r/Amazon_Influencer) replied on our original thread confirming they’d seen the same thing and had already posted about it themselves, then deleted their post because Amazon’s own popup calls it an “experiment,” which they read as meaning it’s meant to stay private. Their description of the mechanism, in their own words:
“It searches through your Storefront (and maybe your history) and adds automatically. It probably presumes that if you tagged it in the Storefront, you will have an offsite associates link somewhere. It does miss several items, though, so I run a scan from one of the extensions as well.”
That’s a real, independent sighting, not a guess, and it lines up with a second, earlier data point: another creator in the same thread said they’d “seen others talk about it,” and separately reported one person getting the notification by email instead of the in-dashboard banner.
So, does everyone get it?
No. Best evidence still says this is a limited rollout. The picture has moved, though, from “might just be Miles” to “small to medium test group, several accounts confirmed independently.” A few things support that read:
- Amazon’s own word for it is “experiment,” which is internal A/B-test language, not the kind of wording that shows up in permanent product copy.
- Even the creator who confirmed having it says the tool misses items and they still run a manual extension scan to catch what auto-enroll doesn’t.
- Nobody who has it, including us, has found a toggle, setting, or application to opt in. It appears to trigger off usage (tagging a product in your Storefront, then driving clicks on it) rather than a request.
- We still have not found a single official Amazon page, blog post, or help-center article using the phrase “Auto-Enroll experiment.” Everything we and other creators know comes from what’s actually showing up in the dashboard.
If you’ve checked your own account and don’t see it, that doesn’t mean anything is wrong on your end. It just means you’re not (yet) in the test group, same as most creators right now.
What this actually looks like day to day
| What | What we’ve confirmed |
|---|---|
| Where it lives | Under a new “Affiliate+ campaigns” tab, next to classic Creator Connections campaigns |
| What triggers it | Products you’re already tagged/promoting in your Storefront, once they drive eligible clicks (best-evidence read, not officially confirmed) |
| Does it catch everything | No. Multiple accounts report it misses eligible products, so a manual scan is still worth doing |
| Can you request it | No confirmed way to opt in or improve your odds |
| Does it stack with regular commission | No. Regular Affiliate+ commission takes precedence over the SPC click payout on the same product |
One more thing worth checking, whether you have auto-enroll or not
Separate from the auto-enroll question, we’ve also been tracking reports of a real “sponsored product adjustment” line item showing up in some creators’ Associates payment history, a true-up for SPC clicks that weren’t originally credited. Multiple creators in one thread reported real dollar figures, from around $400 to over $4,000. If you’ve been in SPC for a while, in the auto-enroll test or not, pulling up your payment history to check for that exact line item is worth five minutes. Amazon hasn’t put out a statement on this one either, but the reports are specific and consistent enough to take seriously.
The bottom line
Auto-enroll is real, it’s spreading beyond a single account, and it still isn’t universal. If you have it, it’s genuinely convenient, but it’s not complete, so don’t stop scanning your own Storefront for missed items. If you don’t have it, there’s no known way to request it, and there’s nothing wrong with your account. We’ll keep updating this as more creators check in.
If you’ve gotten the popup yourself, or checked and don’t see it, we’d genuinely like to know either way, drop a comment or find us on r/Amazon_Influencer.
