Ultimate Amazon turns your written work into a beautifully rendered Amazon shop. It also allows robust cataloguing and export of all Amazon products — books, music, films, and everything else — to which your authors have linked.
We’ll deftly scan each newly created post for Amazon links, fetching the properly formed ASIN URL using modern Amazon-preferred methods from the Amazon Advertising API. We’ll also fetch the main product image for you and insert that into WordPress’s Media database. Then we’ll create an XML file and will save it into the database so that you can reference all of the Amazon products your writers are writing about.
The products can then be displayed using the included carousel, which is a beautifully functional, light-payload, HTML5, touch-compatible, Retina-capable way of building your authors’ recommended items into your WordPress site in any location you choose.
Note: Ultimate Amazon does not automatically add Affiliate tags to your posts’ Amazon links. To do that, try Paul Stuttard’s Amazon Link. https://wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-link/. Amazon Link and Ultimate Amazon have been tested up to the specifications noted to work properly together.
<h4>Key features</h4>

</ul>
<h4>Quick Start</h4>

<h4>Getting Started</h4>
Create a new Bookshelf using ISBNs or UPCs from items in your catalog. You can input items manually, from an exported list, or from a web service API. Paste the Bookshelf shortcode into a post, page, or widget area. You can add location tags to your Bookshelves to keep them organized and remember where you have them displayed on your site.
You can make a Bookshelf that links to an ebook catalog while having other Bookshelves link to your main catalog. To do this, enter your ebook catalog URL(s) in addition to your main catalog URL in the plugin settings. Create a new Bookshelf and choose an option in the eBook Catalog box.
Captions can be displayed below the item images or overlaid on hover. See the new options in Bookshelves > Settings > Slider Settings. There are customizable options for captions on the Customize CSS tab.
EBSCOHost users must enter Accession Numbers, and Calibre/COPS users must enter book ID numbers instead of ISBNs or UPCs.
<h4>REST API</h4>
You can modify Bookshelf items and alt text using the <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/reference/posts" rel="nofollow ugc">WP REST API</a>. The API endpoint for Bookshelf posts is https://{your.library.url}/wp-json/wp/v2/bookshelves/. This plugin only supports the REST API in WordPress 5.3 and higher.
