Amazon products and prices on your affiliate site, with no API keys
Amazon gives Product Advertising API access to Associates accounts that make enough sales. A new site, or a quiet month, can lose it. A FreshStore site shows Amazon products, prices and pictures either way, sorted into categories, and every buy button carries your tag.
- Products and prices from the day the site goes live
- Your Associates tracking ID on every link
- Import by ASIN, link or keyword
- Creators API access, if you have it, connects in your settings

Before and after
The usual ways to show Amazon products without API access
Without API access, most advice points to a few workarounds. Each one costs you something. This is what changes on a FreshStore affiliate store.
By hand
- SiteStripe links, copied one product at a time, with no price beside them
- A Check price on Amazon button, so the visitor never sees a price on your page
- A list you keep by hand, where prices go out of date and Amazon's rules on showing them are strict
- A WordPress plugin, where many ask for API keys too, and every plugin needs updates
On FreshStore
- Products, pictures and prices on the site from the day it goes live
- Your tracking ID added to every link for you
- Keep Fresh checks prices and stock every day
- Each product page shows when its main price was last updated
- No plugins to update and no hosting to run
Creators API
Connect it if you have it
Creators API is the newer way Amazon gives Associates product data. If your account has access, add it in your site's Amazon settings. Your tracking ID is used as the partner tag. Without it, products and prices still show.
Your Associates agreement
Amazon's rules still apply to you
You keep your own Associates account, and its agreement covers your site. The default footer disclosure uses Amazon's own Associates statement, with its price and content notices. Product pages show when the price was last updated. Following the agreement is your part.

Before you start
Amazon API questions
- Amazon took away my API access. Can my site still show prices?
- Yes, on FreshStore. Products and prices show from the day your site goes live, with no API keys to apply for. Your Associates tracking ID goes on every link.
- Do I still need an Amazon Associates account?
- Yes, to get paid. Amazon pays you directly through it. Paste your tracking ID into the site once and every link carries it.
- I have Creators API access. Can I use it?
- Yes. Connect it in your site's Amazon settings and your tracking ID is used as the partner tag. It is optional. Products and prices show without it.
- How current are the prices?
- Keep Fresh checks prices and stock every day. Each product page shows when its main price was last updated.
- Can I choose the exact products?
- Yes. Import them by ASIN, by product link or by keyword. Or let the site fill its categories for you, then remove what you do not want.
- What about Amazon's Associates rules?
- They still apply, and following your Associates agreement is your part. The default footer uses Amazon's own disclosure wording, and product pages show when the price was last updated.
