There are three Amazon affiliate payment methods. Payment directly into a bank account, an Amazon gift card, or payment by check.
Deposits into a bank account are available in fifty-two countries.
Let us look at Amazon affiliate payment methods.
How You Get Paid By Amazon
There are three payment options.
The first option is to have commissions earned paid into a bank account.
The second option is to receive an Amazon gift card by email.
The third option is to get paid by check sent to your home address.

Direct deposit is available in fifty-two countries.

From the menu, select the Account Settings option.
Click Change Payment Method.
Check the Pay Me By Direct Deposit option and enter your bank details.
Direct deposit is available in 52 countries.
When your country is not listed, you can use a third-party application to get access to a bank account.
I recommend Payoneer.com. You get access to a virtual bank account with a free Payoneer account.
You can transfer your money from Payoneer to your bank account. Fees do apply.

Please note that any update to payment methods starts from the first of the following month.
The minimum payout limit for direct deposit is $10.

Amazon sends the gift card/gift certificate to your primary email address.
Before confirming, ensure your email address is active.
Click on the link to check the email address.
Once you make your choice, scroll to the bottom and click Submit.
Please note that any update to payment methods starts from the first of the following month.
The minimum payout limit for the Amazon gift card is $10.
Payment by check
Select the third option to request payment by check.
Amazon sends the check to your contact address.
Ensure your details are correct by clicking Contact Address.
Once you have selected your preferred option, scroll to the bottom, and click Submit.
Please note that any update to payment methods starts from the first of the following month.
The minimum payout limit for checks is $100.
When Do Amazon Affiliates Get Paid?
Amazon pays affiliates on the first of each month. There is a 60-day delay in payment.
For example, commissions earned in January are collated on the last day of January and added to your Amazon account in February.
You get paid in March if you reach the minimum payout limit.
If you fail to achieve the minimum payout limit, the funds stay in your account until you do.
