Amazon Style Store

    I am looking to use WP as a database to organize and display products from Amazon Associates and other affiliate program. My challenge in doing this is having product images. I know that I may embed them into the posts, but I would need to have product images posted not only on single.php, but also on the main page and category pages.

    What is the best way to do this? Is there already a plug-in out there that makes WP into more of a store, or products database?

    Thanks,

    Jon

    To clarify, no e-commerce is needed. I will just be linking so that products can be purchased elsehwere. I just need to be able to display product images.

    Can I create a custom field where I assign an image to each post, then bring up that image on a static main page, or and a customized category page?

    Thanks!

    Your product image will show an every page (home, category, archive, search, tags, page) using the_content (and not the_excerpt) in the loop. Alternatively you can use the-excerpt-reloaded to display excerpts and images.

    Thanks! Evita’s option sounds like the way to go right now. The problem is that the products will mostly be from other affiliate programs, not just Amazon.

    Is there an example, or site already running this? Couldn’t find one on the plug-in page.

    Thanks for the help!
