How To Intergrate Amazon Store Page On Your WordPress
How To Put A Static Amazon AStore Page On WordPress
I have played around with this and had disaster-
All I wanted was a separate page with no widgets or sidebars of anything and be able to fit the Amazon store page to my blog-Shit this was a process that really bugged me-I found this guys blog that really helped me -
His site click here So I decided to put a 5 min video how to do this-I learn’t this from the site mentioned I have just tried to make it easier for you to implement.
So below is a code you need to set up using notepad and save as astore.php to your desktop – you will then need to upload this to your server using cute or free ftp severs in the WP- Content/Themes Folder-then into the theme you are currently using -This folder is found in public.html and under your blog domain name. However read below before you upload as there is a line of code to change first.
Below is the code-you will need to change one thing-so read the complete post, really easy to do–
Click here to get note pad code Then copy and save code on notepad, save as – astore.php – we need to change one line after we have set up our astore on Amazon which is the Inline form and will look like–
<iframe src=”http://astore.amazon.com/photography108-20″ width=”100%” height=”4000″ frameborder=”0″ scrolling=”no”></iframe>
Log into your Amazon Associate page and select aStore. This is where you will configure the look of your store and decide which products you want to promote. You have a few options, one you can manually choose the products for your store, or you can find a “listmania id” and use the item that are in the list you choose. Personally, I would hand select my items manually.
Once your store is configured the way you want you will be given a choice on how you want your aStore to be displayed. Choose the ‘Inline Frame’ then copy the code that is provided.
Very important step- paste the aStore code that you copied from your Amazon Associate page over the default code that you saved in note pad as astore.php file. Otherwise The code that is there will lead to my store. Once your new code is pasted over the default code, upload with ftp or C-Panel to your blog-WP-Content/Themes and drop the php file in there.
Your code from Amazon Should look like this–
<iframe src=”http://astore.amazon.com/photography108-20″ width=”100%” height=”4000″ frameborder=”0″ scrolling=”no”></iframe>
Paste your in frame code over mine above,otherwise will put my site on your page
Navigate back to your WordPress dashboard and select “Page,” then “add new.” Name this page Store or Shop or whatever you like. Down below and to the right there should be a place to select a page template. Use the drop down menu and select “Amazon Store or might be A store” Now publish that page.
Now view the page on your browser- you should have your store looking ok-There is a large scrolling area below which is when your customer clicks on a product it will show lots of information,like reviews and information for the product.
My advice is you must have your own domain set up for WordPress- other wise a problem- Domains only cost around $10 and hosting $10 a month for unlimited domains-from say Hostgator-not sending you there up to you to decide.

Almost everyone that makesmoney on the internet (even the millionaires) do so through affiliate marketing. Being successful in affiliate marketing involves knowing the formula that makes other affiliate marketers successful. For example, autoblogging. Autoblogging has been one of the least well-known forms of making money for quite some time… particularly because it’s quite difficult to make a good auto-blog. Yet, when done right, it can provide you with a constant passive income with the only real work required being the setting up process. Video Marketing, and several other marketing strategies are all designed to drive traffic to your site, can be incorporated steadily in order to raise the position your site appears in the search engine results page when any one searches for a term related to your site. And yet, even this can be totally automated.
how do I get the astore.php as a option in my word press editor?
@Arnell I am presuming that you have copied the php file to notepad and saved as astore.php -then you need to ftp in your theme file,once that is done when you make a new page you should be able to see on the right side a drop down template box that will say something like” a store” that is the template you need-let me know if that helps,
First of all, I LOVED your video. By far the easiest and most precise way I have read about the process. My question is when I tried this http://internetenabledtelevisions.com/store/ the sidebar is completely cut off. My hunch is that it is some kind of a CSS edit I need to make. Im not good at CSS at all. Can you take a look and give me an idea?
Thank you
@Eric,Had a look at your site very impressive-if you mean the sidebars to the right or left-no they will not appear-the idea being to keep distractions away so customers concentrate on your store-One thing you can do on your inline form code is to change the width.standard is 96% put to 100% spreads store across page.do not change height as it will cut off reviews-hope that helps – you can see on mystore I have on photography http://photographycourses4u.com/camera-supplies/ the same structure.
Hi There!
Great video tutorial. Everything makes sense so far. I’m having trouble understand what to do when you say “you need to ftp the file and upload it to wp”. I have core ftp and am unsure as to how to execute the next steps.
Thanks in advance!
@Tia Hi- When you have saved the code I gave you to notepad and changed the inline astore code for your store you then need to up load that astore.php file to your wordpress theme folder you are currently using. There are many free ftp software to use like Filezilla http://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client
Look for public.html,then your blog name,then WP-CONTENT then Themes-then upload the astore.php file into the current theme you are using- Then go to WordPress login and create a new page-call it mystore,whatever-on the right hand side look for Template and chose a-store-save page all should work ok-let me know if that helps-I can do it for you but this is a good learning curve for you-Regards JT
John–Thanks a bunch! that helped me out a lot! Everything works and looks good! thanks again!

Hi John,
I’m so happy to have found your video on you tube. It’s a real treat! For days I’ve been looking for a way to set up an amazon astore on my wordpress site without using plugings. I followed your instructions and installed on my website and it works perfectly. So, a BIG THANK YOU from me.
Now I want to build a stand alone Ebay store. I will have a look around your website. Who knows what I might find!
Thanks again,
Gerard
Hello John,
With my near to zero technical knowledge of php, I was struggling in setting up aStore on my blog. Couldn’t find good wp-plugin too. That’s when I came across your video. The video and this post has helped me. Finally i got the store setup on a test site and very soon will implement it on my other blogs.
Thanks a lot again.
