Introducing Gear on Amazon — Now, buying computer parts, shoes, and snacks that your favorite streamers love is easier than ever

What if you could easily find and purchase things that your streamers love and recommend while actually supporting them?

Introduced at PAX West, Gear on Amazon is a new tool that allows Twitch viewers to quickly and easily find the gear that their favorite streamers are using. Now, when you’re curious about which graphics card or gaming headset your favorite streamer recommends, you can check the panel area of the channel page for their gear list. If you buy any qualifying products from Amazon after clicking from your favorite streamers gear list, they’ll earn referral fees! Graphics cards are eligible; so are granola bars.

So next time you’re curious about which keyboard, headset, snack food, or pair of socks your favorite streamer recommends, look for Gear on Amazon on their channel page and find out! This is one more way we’re making it easier for you to support your favorite streamers.
