Lasso is not allowed for new amazon associate sellers, own websites are also not allowed, only FB, instagram, twitter, YT, Tiktok and twitch TV. So I'm really lost now, don't know how I could add links to shorts or Tiktok. On YT only in long videos, in shorts on mobile app people can't even copy and paste, nothings click able, the only option is to navigate people to click bottom right icon to get to another video(long one) and then they would have to get to the description to get to click able links.

Thanks for showing this. I needed something I can do myself. Other KZreadrs were pushing the $200 Lasso in which I can't afford.

Even if you select large image, the image is still pretty small. But i found that it's easy to change width and height in the html code. After you paste the code onto your website, to change the image size, just change the width and height under "product image source" and then make the product container bigger by changing the width and height under "product container"

I then ran the request but instead of getting the image it came back with an error message as follows "Error! TooManyRequests The request was denied due to request throttling.

Hey, Thank you for this tutorial. I found that the product box doesn't look good on mobile. it looks good on desktop but the design looks bad on mobile devices. Any suggestion to fix that? Thank you so much.

anyone can tell how to add your tracking ID into the HTML code? i have multiple tracking IDs within one store ID

why when I run the request it says too many requests? Even tho I only select 2?

How do I add a search box for all my products of the API on my site?

my wordpress dash board does not look like that. Are you in Elementor? and if so how do you then add to your post?

Do you know how we make sure this link is a "nofollow" link? Do we need to add it to the html or is it something we can add in Wordpress? Thank you!

I have a confusion that you said API key will work for 48 hours after it's creation then what to do after I utilize both API keys.?

This is very helpful. I wouldn't have even known about Scratchpad without this video. So I followed your instructions and they work well until I place the HTML code on my blog. It doesn't look like the rendered image on Scratchpad at all. I get the picture and then lines and lines of title that is not contained to a box and it won't show the Amazon Prime symbol. I have tried a ton of variations on parameters thinking maybe I just needed a different parameter. My best guess is the code doesn't work with a plugin I have on my blog maybe? (I use the Yoast SEO plug in and a couple of others but that is it.) How could I tell what is making the HTML code not work for my blog page? Is there something I should look for or do differently?

Product boxes convert well. I normally just used the image and text links and had an 8% conversion rate, but now images are gone and it's against the TOS to use images from Amazon. So, if you don't want to pay for a plugin, this process is your best bet.
