Amazon Creators API

CategoView for Amazon uses the Amazon Creators API to retrieve product information from Amazon.

The plugin uses the Amazon Creators API credentials entered in the plugin settings (Client ID and Client Secret), together with the Associate Tag (Store ID), to connect to the Amazon API.

The plugin sends information required for product retrieval to the Amazon API when you manually update the catalog or when a scheduled catalog update runs. This includes the selected Amazon marketplace, Browse Node ID, Associate Tag (Store ID), and the Amazon Creators API credentials entered in the plugin settings. Product information returned by the API is saved as a catalog on your WordPress site and used to display products on the front end.

Use of the Amazon Creators API is subject to the Amazon Associates Program and other applicable Amazon terms and licenses for each marketplace.

For more information, please refer to the Amazon Creators API Documentation, Associates Program Operating Agreement, and Amazon.com Privacy Notice.
