Where’s affiliate code options for link localisation / geo-targeting?

  • Hi there,

    Thanks for this great plug-in.

    Your plug-in description states, “You can transform your Amazon affiliate links into the ones of the locale that the site visitor resides, presumed by IP address. So you won’t miss commission fees from visitors coming outside of your country.” … yet I can’t see any way to enter my Amazon affiliate ID codes for the other Amazon countries I have affiliate accounts with.

    Normally when links get localised it includes utilising the user’s appropriate Amazon Affiliate ID.

    Can you explain how it works in your plug-in, when it appears to only be possible to enter the code for one “main” country?

    Thanks,

    Jonathan

    Hi,

    You can set Associates IDs for different locales in the Amazon Associates section via Dashboard -> Auto Amazon Links -> Settings. Select the locale, enter your ID, and then save. After that, go to Geotargeting section and enable the option.

    Sorry for the late response.

    When I go to the Settings (on the Associates tab), I can enter one main ID, using the country drop down selector. For me, this is the United States.

    I also enter the API details for my Amazon.com account.

    But it’s not clear to me where I can enter the associate IDs for the many other countries I have Amazon associate program for. I don’t have API credentials on all those sites, just IDs.

    Please clarify what I am not seeing.

    Thank you very much.

    Okay … I think I understand now.

    I was getting confused by this text, “The country of the marketplace. This selected locale serves as the main locale.”. This gave me the impression I have to select one local, and fill out its details.

    What I now realise (please let me know if this is correct), is that I can enter IDs on all the countries I wish to, but then finally leave the country selector on the main locale (US in my case).

    Is that correct?

    Thanks
