How to Pre-Save on Amazon Music

What Is an Amazon Music Pre-Save (and How Does It Work)?

Amazon Music doesn’t offer a built-in “Pre-Save” button, but fans can pre-save your upcoming album or single using a pre-save page created through a music marketing platform like Sonikit. When a fan clicks your pre-save link, Amazon will automatically add the release to their library the moment it goes live—boosting your first-day streams and improving your chances of algorithmic playlisting.

If you're an artist looking to set up an Amazon Music pre-save for your next release, this guide walks you through everything you need to know, including:

• How fans pre-save on Amazon Music

• How to create an Amazon Music pre-save with Sonikit

• How to embed a pre-save on your website

• How to build a countdown page for your release

💡 Tip: You can create your Amazon Music pre-save during your 14-day free trial—no credit card required.

How Fans Pre-Save on Amazon Music

Fans pre-save an album on Amazon Music by clicking a pre-save link provided by the artist. Since Amazon doesn't offer native pre-save functionality, the process works through trusted third-party platforms:

1. The fan clicks your pre-save link.

2. They sign in with their Amazon account and approve the connection.

3. Amazon Music automatically adds the release to their library when it goes live.

This ensures your album appears in the fan’s collection instantly on release day.

How to Create an Embedded Amazon Music Pre-Save with Sonikit

An embedded pre-save allows you to add a pre-save widget directly to your website, keeping your fans engaged without redirecting them elsewhere. Follow these steps to create an embedded pre-save for your upcoming album:

1. Navigate to the "Embeds" section of your Sonikit dashboard.

2. Click the "Create Embed" button.

3. Select "Pre-save" from the available action options.

4. Enter your release details, including:

   • Release date

   • Release time

   • Whether the release time is global (same time for everyone) or local (released at the specified time in each fan's local timezone).

5. Choose whether to enable NextSave, Sonikit’s feature that automatically pre-saves all upcoming releases from the same artist.

6. Add streaming services:

   • If you already have a UPC or URL for your release, enter it, and Sonikit will automatically fetch your album from all available services, including Amazon Music.

   • If your release hasn’t been delivered yet, select manual entry to upload album art and choose which services to include.

7. Click Save.

8. After saving, click the "Edit" link on your newly created embed, then go to the "Embed" tab to copy your embed code.

9. Paste the embed code into your website to make your pre-save live.

How to Create a Pre-Save Countdown Landing Page with Sonikit

If you don’t have a website or prefer a standalone page, you can use Sonikit’s landing page feature to create a pre-save countdown.

1. Navigate to the "Landing Pages" section of your Sonikit dashboard.

2. Click the "New Page" button.

3. Enter a title for your landing page and set a custom subdomain.

4. Choose the "Pre-save Countdown" template.

5. Follow steps 4–7 from the embedded pre-save instructions above.

6. Once saved, go to the "Share" tab to copy your landing page URL or download a QR code for easy sharing.
