According to Amazon’s Terms of Service, affiliates cannot use affiliate links in any emails. Unfortunately, many people use RSS feeds to populate their emails to users. One solution was to simply remove the affiliate links from feeds, which works just fine. But I came up with a solution (out of need) that changed the affiliate link in a feed into a link to the post itself.
Once on the live site, the affiliate link will work as normal, this plugin just facilitates an easier way for the end user to get the affiliate link.

Affiliate Amazon Shortcode is a lightweight yet powerful WordPress plugin that allows you to display Amazon products directly in your posts, pages, or widgets using both the legacy Amazon Product Advertising API v5 and the new Amazon Creators API.
Easily integrate Amazon affiliate links, generate rich product boxes, and monetize your website without writing any code.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Amazon Creators API Migration
Amazon requires all affiliates to migrate from PA-API 5.0 to the new Creators API.
This plugin supports BOTH systems for a smooth transition:
<ul>
<li>Creators API (Recommended) – OAuth 2.0 authentication, future-proof</li>
<li>PA-API 5.0 (Legacy) – deprecated after Jan 31, 2026</li>
</ul>
Perfect for bloggers, affiliate marketers, niche sites, and comparison websites.
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>✅ Dual API support – Creators API + legacy PA-API 5.0</li>
<li>✅ Smart automatic caching – reduces API calls and prevents throttling</li>
<li>✅ Built-in anti-throttling protection (retry + backoff)</li>
<li>✅ Display up to 9 products based on a keyword</li>
<li>✅ Multiple marketplaces supported (amazon.it, amazon.com, amazon.de, etc.)</li>
<li>✅ Auto fetch titles, images, prices, ratings</li>
<li>✅ Customizable layout: columns, image size, fonts</li>
