<h4>Display Amazon Associates Affiliate Links with Minimal Effort</h4>
<p>Still manually searching products and pasting Amazon affiliate links in WordPress posts? What happens if the products get outdated? With this plugin, you do not have to worry about it nor trouble doing such repetitive tasks. Just pick categories that suit your site and it will automatically display the links of decent products just coming out from Amazon today.</p>
<p>Auto Amazon Links is a WordPress plugin for affiliates to create Amazon affiliate links. The links are tagged with your Amazon Associates ID. All the Amazon locales are supported and it works even on JavaScript-disabled browsers. Insert the ads as widget, place shortcode, or use auto-insert to display units automatically where the links should appear.</p>
<p>If you want to search for a specific product, yes, you can do that too. If you are good at HTML and CSS coding and know a little about PHP, you can create your own template! That means you can design the layout.</p>
<p>Display Amazon affiliate links along with your posts with this plugin to earn commissions with minimal effort.</p>
<h4>Display a particular product in a post</h4>
<p>If you want to simply display your desired specific products in a post, don’t worry. You can do that too. Just paste the product URL into the post editor. No shortcode is required.</p>
<h4>See How Amazon Affiliate Links are Displayed</h4>
<span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mpDCcp4KBZg?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe></span>
<h4>Supporting All the Amazon Associates Locales</h4>
<p>Includes Australia, Brazil, Belgium, Canada, China, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and the United States. China is supported for the category unit type.</p>
<h4>Works without JavaScript</h4>
<p>Some visitors turn off JavaScript in their browsers for security reasons and most ads including Google Adsense will not show up to them. But this one works!</p>
<h4>Automatic Insertion in Posts and Feeds</h4>
<p>Just check where you want the product links to appear with auto-insert.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Static Contents Conversion</strong> – If you want the product link to be static, it is possible. This means that if you deactivate the plugin, the converted contents will remain.</li>
<li><strong>Detailed Visibility Criteria</strong> – You can enable/disable product links on the pages you want or do not want by post ID, taxonomy, page type, and post type.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Customizable Buttons</h4>
<p>Your site visitors are more likely to click buttons than regular text hyperlinks. Define your custom buttons and insert them into the unit output.</p>
<p>The plugin lets you design buttons through UI and prepares several default buttons for you so that you can modify them rather than create your own from scratch.</p>
<h4>Geo-targeting</h4>
<p>You can transform your Amazon affiliate links into the ones of the locale that the site visitor resides, presumed by IP address. So you won’t miss commission fees from visitors coming outside of your country.</p>
<h4>Auto Link Conversion</h4>
<p>Hyperlinks to Amazon products in posts and comments can be transformed into your associate affiliate links. This is useful if your site allows guests to post contents that include Amazon links.</p>
<h4>Gutenberg Block</h4>
<p>The plugin has a Gutenberg block that lets you pick units you created, which can save a little time than typing the shortcode.</p>
<h4>Widgets</h4>
<p>Place the widget in the sidebar and select the unit you created. The product links will appear where you want.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>By Units</strong> – choose the created units to display in the widget.</li>
<li><strong>Contextual Search</strong> – with this, you don’t have to create a unit. It will automatically search products relating to the currently displayed page contents.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Shortcode and PHP Function</h4>
<p>Insert the ads in specific posts and pages with the shortcode. If you want to insert in the theme template, use the PHP code the plugin provides to produce the outputs.</p>
<h4>Filtering Products</h4>
<p>You can filter out certain products you don’t want to display with a black and white list by description, title, and ASIN.</p>
<h4>RSS and JSON Unit Feeds</h4>
<p>By subscribing to the product RSS/JSON feeds of the units you create, you can import them from other sites.</p>
<p>If you have a website that can display RSS feed contents, just create a WordPress site somewhere with this plugin and fetch the feed from the site. If you are an App developer, you can just display the items from the feed without programming an API client.</p>
<h4>Various Unit Options</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Image Size</strong> – The size of thumbnails can be specified. It supports up to 500 pixels large with a clean resolution.</li>
<li><strong>Sort Order</strong> – Shuffle the product links so that the visitor won’t get bored as it gives refreshed impression.</li>
<li><strong>URL cloaking</strong> – You can obfuscate the link URLs so it helps to prevent being blocked by browser Ad-blocking add-ons.</li>
<li><strong>Load with Javascript</strong> – Decides whether to display units with JavaScript.</li>
<li>and more.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Customizing Outputs</h4>
<p>Besides the <strong>Item Format</strong> unit option which lets you design the output of a unit, you can create a custom template. This gives you freedom of customization and lets you achieve a more advanced and detailed design.</p>
<h4>Unit Types</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Category</strong> – picks your category that matches your site topic.</li>
<li><strong>Product Search</strong> – creates a unit by performing product searches.</li>
<li><strong>URL</strong> – lists items from an external web source.</li>
<li><strong>PA-API Product Search</strong> – creates a unit of a search result using PA-API.</li>
<li><strong>PA-API Item Look-up</strong> – displays specific products.</li>
<li><strong>PA-API Custom Payload</strong> – is for more complex PA-API queries.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Supported Languages</h4>
<ul>
<li>English</li>
<li>Japanese</li>
<li>German</li>
<li>Italian</li>
<li>Spanish</li>
</ul>
<h4>Getting Started</h4>
