 * I have placed the amazon widget in the sidebar of my blog – [http://www.touristhelpline.com](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/](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
