  Are you looking to add a basic hyperlink or does Amazon have some code for merchant’s?

  Here is a tutorial on adding hyperlinks. http://en.support.wordpress.com/links/

  Let me know if this isn’t what you’re looking for.

  We allow affiliate links on WordPress.com, including from Amazon.com, but you will not be able to use the Amazon widget on a WordPress.com site. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/amazon-widget-9?replies=3#post-1882814

  Posting of some affiliate links is possible, provided the blog is an actual blog and not just a storefront. Please read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/ closely.

  WordPress.com allows bloggers to insert text affiliate links within post and page content to most third-party affiliate programs, provided they are not the primary content of the site in question.

  Image affiliate links in posts and pages and any banners, affiliate links in sidebar or footer widget areas, are still considered to be advertising and are not allowed on WordPress.com blogs.

  I recommend doing tag searches before posting.
