How to Add Amazon Products to Your Shopify Store

If you want to run your Amazon affiliate program and earn commission by directing customers to Amazon to make a purchase, there is an efficient way to do it without the hassle of manually copying links and codes. By using the Spreader app, you can transform your Shopify store into an Amazon affiliate store and easily bulk transfer products or import them one at a time.

1. Introduction

Running an Amazon affiliate program can be a profitable endeavor, but the process of adding Amazon products to your Shopify store can be time-consuming and inconvenient. In this guide, we will show you how to streamline this process and effectively monetize your website by incorporating Amazon products.

2. How to Add Amazon Products to Your Shopify Store

To add Amazon products to your Shopify store, you will need to integrate the Spreader Curl. This will allow you to modify product buttons to say "Buy on Amazon" instead of "Add to Cart". Follow our step-by-step guide to integrate the Spreader Curl into your Shopify store's code.

3. Integrating the Spreader Curl

The first step is to access your Shopify admin and click on "Online Store". From there, go to "Actions" and select "Edit code". Locate the "product template liquid" section and find the "Add to Cart" button. Add the provided code underneath the button. Save your changes and preview the results.

4. Joining Amazon Associates Program and Importing Products

To import Amazon products, you need to join the Amazon Associates program. After joining, go to "Tools" and select "Product Advertising API". Link your accounts and obtain your product code. In your Shopify settings, enter the product code and specify the country from where you want to import products. Save the settings.

5. Setting Up AWS Credentials for Bulk Importing

In order to bulk import items from Amazon, you will need to set up the Amazon Web Services (AWS) credentials. This involves creating access keys and saving them in the Spreader app's settings. Follow our guide to set up your AWS credentials and ensure smooth importing of products.

6. Adding Products to the Store

With the Spreader app installed and your AWS credentials set up, you can now start adding products to your Shopify store. You can either search for specific products, like the Blue Yeti microphone, and add them one by one, or perform bulk searches for related products, such as books by Bob Proctor. The Spreader app will automatically import the product details and create a "View on Amazon" button.

7. Editing Collections and Recommendations

To organize your imported products, you can create collections within your Shopify store. Manually select the products you want to include in each collection and save your changes. Additionally, you can create a catalog of recommended products, such as book recommendations, to showcase in a dedicated section of your store.

8. Syncing with Facebook and Instagram

To promote your Amazon affiliate store on social media, you can sync your collections with Facebook and Instagram. However, there might be limitations in terms of selling products that aren't directly shipped. We provide workarounds and suggestions for tagging products in Instagram posts and ensuring a smooth transition from social media to your website.

9. Troubleshooting and Workarounds

While the Spreader app simplifies the process of adding Amazon products to your Shopify store, there might be some challenges along the way. We address common issues and provide troubleshooting tips and workarounds to ensure a seamless integration and operation of your affiliate store.

10. Conclusion
