Amazon Associates Link Builder

Dear USers,

Actually, the issue is due to blocked call by your Hosting provider or Firewall settings to fetch marketplace details from “webservices.amazon.com”. The error message shown is incorrect and we are working to fix the same.

Dear @markus312,

In the shortcode shared above, we can’t see any field named “text”. In general product link shortcodes looks something like the one in below Product Link ad for Echo:
[amazon_textlink asin='B06XCM9LJ4' text='echo' template='ProductLink' store='usstore-20' marketplace='US' link_id='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx']

Your Product link Ad will not show anything if there is no text field set.This field is added by default on generating shortcode using default Product Link template.

Dear @wainwatkins,

Please use {{Description}} attribute in the custom template and add something like below in HTML section under {{Item}} attribute:

{{#ItemLinks}}
     {{#ItemLink}}
         <span><a href='{{URL}}'>{{Description}}</a></span> 
     {{/ItemLink}}
{{/ItemLinks}}

Please check the XML response returned by ItemLook Up API in PA-API scratchpad and accordingly decide the custom template.

in short, Description field is available from the plugin but you need to write your own HTML & CSS to display it as per your need

Dear @martinn,

May you please give us a link to the website URL where you are facing the issue as currently, the issue is not reproducible at our end.

Dear @dbseo89,

May you please specify the issue you are facing due to this warning. What’s the reason for giving a 1-star rating as this warning doesn’t affect any plugin functionality?
