    Hello Amazon Folks,

    Is there a way to automatically include a product description for an Amazon product featured on my website using Amazon Associates Link Builder?

    For some strange reason, I can’t find a description attribute for a product. I can find a title attribute, I can find an image attribute, I can find a price attribute, but I can’t find a description attribute.

    The description of a product seems like such a basic feature, that I am surprised it is not obvious how to do this. Please tell me how. If a product attribute does not exist, could you please modify the plugin to include a product description attribute ASAP.

    Please respond soon.

    Thanks,

    Wain

    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

    Hello Amazon Folks,

    Thanks for your fast response to my desire to show a product description on my website. No success yet. I am trying to capture on my website the information that appears on Amazon’s website under the div id=”productDescription”. However, when I checked the XML response by the ItemLookUP API as you suggested, here are the descriptions it showed:

    <Description>Technical Details</Description>
    <Description>Add To Baby Registry</Description>
    <Description>Add To Wedding Registry</Description>
    <Description>Add To Wishlist</Description>
    <Description>Tell A Friend</Description>
    <Description>All Customer Reviews</Description>
    <Description>All Offers</Description>

    None of these descriptions relate to the basic product description that appears on Amazon’s website under the div id=”productDescription”.

    I would really appreciate your help to find an easy way to automatically get the basic product description on my site.

    Thanks,

    Wain

    Dear @wainwatkins,

    The feature is currently not supported in the plugin. We have added this as a feature request.
