    I have placed the amazon widget in the sidebar of my blog – http://www.touristhelpline.com. Presently it is linked only with Indian store of Amazon.

    I want the readers from other countries using this widget should be forwarded to their local store. Is is possible to do with this plugin ? Please guide me the process.

    Hi Varun,

    I think I can provide support for that widget (for limited locales – I could not get it to work for italy).

    The hardest part is signing up for all the locales and getting Amazon Advertising API activated on all locales.

    See here for a summary: http://houseindorset.co.uk/plugins/amazon-link/getting-started/

    Once the plugin is installed, each admin page has a Help tab at the top, if you get stuck.

    To create your widget you need to create an appropriate template I used this to test the search widget:

    
<script charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript">
amzn_assoc_ad_type = "responsive_search_widget";
amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "%TAG%";
amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon";
amzn_assoc_region = "%MPLACE%";
amzn_assoc_placement = "";
amzn_assoc_search_type = "search_widget";
amzn_assoc_width = "auto";
amzn_assoc_height = "auto";
amzn_assoc_default_search_category = "";
amzn_assoc_default_search_key = "";
amzn_assoc_theme = "light";
amzn_assoc_bg_color = "FFFFFF";
</script>
<script src="//z-%REGION%.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&Operation=GetScript&ID=OneJS&WS=1&MarketPlace=%MPLACE%"></script>

    Note the use of %REGION% and %MPLACE% these are filled in by the plugin depending upon the locale.

    Cheers,

    Paul
