Hi,

Again you’ll have to play with the styling yourself (fonts etc.), but the basic template would be something like:

<div>
 %LINK_OPEN%
  <img alt="%TITLE%" title="%TITLE%" src="%THUMB%">
 %LINK_CLOSE%

 <div style="text-align:center;font-size:80%">
  %LINK_OPEN%
   %TITLE%
  %LINK_CLOSE%</br>
  New From:</br>
  %PRICE%
 </div>

 <div>
   %LINK_OPEN%
    <img src="your buy now button">
   %LINK_CLOSE%
 </div>
</div>

Not tested it, but you probably get the idea!

Thanks Paul, that was very helpful.

I got another doubt related to a template you previously helped me create with.
Here:https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/iframe-and-help-for-changing-add-to-cart-button?replies=16

The button template:

%LINK_OPEN%
<img src="https://www.mysite.com/icons/buy_now_button.gif">
%LINK_CLOSE%

Actually, you suggested I should enable “create search links” option, in case that if some item is not available in a locale, it will take the visitor to the amazon.com listing of the product.

But this was found to be having no effect on the button template. The locale from which I tested is India.

Thank you Paul!

Hi,

Sorry I probably did not explain very well, the plugin currently won’t do what you want (redirect to Amazon.com).

This is what it _should_ do:

Lets assume you have a product shortcode with ASIN 0123456789 that is available on Amazon.com (In the plugin US is your default locale).

A visitor from India views the page with your product shortcode in. The plugin will attempt to retrieve details about the product from Amazon India to populate the page.

However it is not available, so it will attempt to retrieve the details from the default locale (US).

It does this and the product is displayed using US details (including the price).

If ‘Create Search Links’ is enabled it _should_ then detect that the visitor is not in the default locale and create a link to Amazon.in but to a search page using the products Title and Artist as keywords.

So the visitor is still sent to the local Amazon site, but should get a page that is at least vaguely related to the product being shown.

But having the “create search links” disabled takes the visitor to the amazon.in homepage, rather than amazon.com product listing (when visiting from India). The default country is US.
Should I disable then “Localise Amazon Link”?

Hi,

If you disable the localisation then the links will always go to Amazon.com regardless of where the visitor is located, probably not what you want!

I might be able to add an option to the next version of the plugin so that if the product is not available and ‘search links’ is not enabled then the links go to Amazon.com.

Note:

If you want to earn commission it is more likely the visitor will make a purchase if they are sent to their ‘local’ Amazon site, hence the current operation of the plugin. If they go to Amazon.com using your Amazon.com Affiliate ID then navigate to Amazon.in, you won’t get any commission on the sale.

Another thing you can try is to provide different ASIN values for different locales (obviously this takes more effort).

e.g.

[amazon asin[us]=USASINCODE&asin[in]=INASINCODE&...]

If your sites primary focus is the US then a few failed links to other amazon locales probably won’t matter. If your sites primary focus is another locale then it’s probably best to find products that are available on that Amazon site.

Hope that helps,

Paul
