AmazonSmile is not replacing Amazon's existing affiliate programs, which already help charities and other small organizations and individuals earning money when shoppers go from their websites to Amazon to buy something.

I regularly use a particular affiliate link myself whenever I shop at Amazon, so I was also curious and asked this Amazon Associate yesterday. His understanding is that the affiliate code will still work when added to the end of the
smile.amazon.com URL. I have read elsewhere that the standard affiliate link should be edited by removing "www.amazon.com" and replacing it with "smile.amazon.com" (note there is no "www" in the latter). Both the affiliate and the customer's chosen AmazonSmile charity should then receive credit for the purchase.
