Amazon Store Integration · **Released**: 10-30-2007

Finally, I've gotten around to putting together a version of the Amazon Store integration mod for vBulletin 3.6.

This mod allows you to add an Amazon store to your vBulletin. You can set it to search for a particular keyword, for different types of items - CDs, DVDs, Clothing, etc. A sample of the store in action is available here: http://www.lidragracing.com/amazon_store.php.

You will need to sign up for Amazon Web Services to get an AWS key in order for this to work. In addition, you need to have PHP 5 installed on your server.

Installation is very simple, upload 3 files, import the xml file and then add a link to the store in your navigation bar. See the attached file "ECS Amazon Store.txt" for the exact installation instructions.

Give it a try, let me know what you think. Make sure you click "Mark as Installed" if you've installed it.

Also, if you intall it and use it, please post the URL you have it installed at so I can see how it's being used.

{edit}

To upgrade to a newer version, re-upload the php files and then import the xml product file. Afterwards go to the admin control panel to check to make sure all of the fields are filled in properly.

I'd love it if you could post the vb4 version. If you can do that then that would be great thanks.

I dunno if this is gonna happen. Amazon changed their feed, a lot of the data that was being displayed is no longer available. I've got a prototype running on one of my vB4 sites but don't know if I'm really happy with it and don't think I'm going to release it.

If that changes I'll update this thread.

It would be interested to get other affiliate bookstores integrated as well. Amazon gives very low commission compared to others.

Such as?

Alfa1 · #**208** 01-31-2011, 10:31 PM

Clickbank: up to 75% commission
Google affiliate Network: commission varies. GAN fives access to many bookstores and other affiliate stores. Including Abebooks, which is the main bookshop in Australia. Amazon does send there.
Commision junction has a high commission. linkshare seems interesting as well.

I'm researching some more...

Any luck with this in VB4?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
