After you intall the plugin, you need to set up your Amazon Affiliate/Associate ID in the Options panel located in the AMAZON PIP menu under AMAZON PIP OPTIONS.

An AWS Public and Private/Secret KEY are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If you use the one that is builtinto the plugin by default, you WILL experience crazy behavior in your product pages. This is due to the changes Amazon made the AWS key usage on 10/15/2010. There is a limit to the number of API calls in an hour based on the User - so if you use mine, it will eventually reach the limit and your products will NOT display until it resets. Please be aware of this before contacting me about problems, because it will be the first question I ask.

No additional adjustments are needed unless you want to configure your own CSS styles. Styles can be adjusted or removed in the Options Panel as well.

WARNING: If you do not add your Amazon Affiliate ID, you will NOT get credit for purchases made using this Plugin.

Adding products is a simple process.

To Add a product to an existing post:

• Go into the full edit mode for the post (Post/Edit then select the post).
• Under the Content editor, there will be a box called Amazon Product In a Post Settings. Maximize it if it is not already fully visible.
• There are 3 sections to fill out, Active, Location and ASIN (See below for adding via Shortcode).
• If Active is checked, the product will be live if the post is published.
• For the Location, pick the spot you want the product to show.
• Then enter the ASIN in the ASIN field.
• Save or Publish the post.

To Add a New Product Post, you have 3 options:

• You can add a new post the regular way (Post / Add New / fill out the items /Publish), and them add the product as outlined above
• You can use the Quick Add Product Feature (called Amazon PIP in the Amazon PIP menu). This is the fastest method for adding a quick product with minimum text. This Method will create a New Post in the selected categories.
• You can add a Product via Shortcode to an existing Page/Post.

To Add a product Via Shortcode:

• In the Content editor, add [AMAZONPRODUCT=XXXXXXXXXX] where XXXXXXXXXX is the Amazon ASIN/ISBN10 number.
• Update the Page/Post. You can add as many products this way as you like. Just keep in mind that there is a call made to the Amazon API for each product added, so addin too many products could cause a noticable increase in page loading time.
• Some settings in the individual page/post options will affect the shortcodes - you can use the 'open in new window,
