You can create a Text custom field to submit Amazon ASIN numbers and modify the field's output format to display the field as affiliate link instead of the default output (ASIN number).

ASIN is a unique identification number assigned by Amazon. Example: B001U3Y8PO

To display the affiliate link instead of the ASIN number on your site, first replace the field's default output format with a certain affiliate link.

<a  href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001U3Y8PO?ie=UTF8&tag=AFFILIATECODE&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B001U3Y8PO">Buy  From Amazon</a>

Next, replace ASIN numbers with {FIELDTEXT} tag:

<a   href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/{FIELDTEXT}?ie=UTF8&tag=AFFILIATECODE&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN={FIELDTEXT}">Buy  From Amazon</a>

Now this field will be outputted as a link.
