Compatibility mode for ASA1, ASA2 and AAWP

Normally, when you switch to another affiliate plugin, you have to go through all the posts and swap the shortcodes. With this extension you save yourself this step. Our plugin "hooks" into the old shortcode from your previous affiliate plugin and plays out its own product box.

Compatibility mode does not change the posts themselves! The shortcodes remain unchanged. So you can always switch back to the previous plugin (if you run into a problem).

If you are already using features like Gutenberg blocks, then this feature will not help you. We only replace shortcodes.

Extension installation

Each extension can be downloaded as a separate add-on. They can be downloaded for free and then need to be installed in the backend as a WP plugin.

Once the extension is installed, there is a new sub-item "Compatibility" at affiliate-toolkit. Depending on the extension, there is a new tab for AAWP or ASA.

By the way, you can run the plugins (AAWP, ASA) in parallel with our affiliate-toolkit if you don't want to replace the existing plugin.

Amazon Simple Admin 1 Replace Product Boxes

With this extension you can replace the obsolete ASA1 and replace it with our plugin.

1) Activate compatibility mode

This hook activates the "hooking" of our plugin into the shortcode of ASA1. If this option is not active, no box will be replaced by affiliate-toolkit.

Disable the ASA1 plugin after enabling this option. Activate this option only when the import (point 7) is complete.

2) Choose store

Select here the Amazon store which you have already created internally. This store is stored as a reference for the products found and must correspond to the correct country.

3) Select product status

This is the "default" product status of a product, If you don't use product pages, you can leave this on draft.

4) Import Collections

Normally we import only the collections which are found in shortcodes. If you check this option, all others will be imported as well.

5) Link templates

Leave the textbox on the left empty to create a fallback. On the right you can use a template from affiliate-toolkit. You can also specify other templates from ASA on the left, if you had used more than one.

6) Last import result

When you click on "Save Changes", our plugin runs through all Posts & Pages and checks if an ASA shortcode was found. A corresponding affiliate-toolkit product will also be created. You can see the result of this "crawl" in the last import results.

If you have a large blog and you get a "timeout" when saving, you can also click "Save Changes" multiple times.
