The Shopping Cart Package

It consists of the following extensions:

• AmazonWS content plugin - handles embedding the product information into your Joomla content;
• AmazonWS API plugin -  handles the contact with the Amazon server
• AmazonWS component - provides extra views, handles the shopping cart functions;
• Amazon Shopping Cart module - provides a "mini-cart" module, allowing customers to see the current contents of their cart
• Amazon Product Search module - allows customers to search for products and see the results on your site
• Amazon Shopping Cart user plugin - handles saving carts for logged in users
• AWS Product editor plugin - provides a Joomla editor button that allows you to search for and select products directly when editing an article, and will automatically insert the code for you into your article
• Amazon Similar plugin and module - provide the ability to display similar products to the ones currently being viewed
• Amazon Tags plugin - adds Joomla tags to product articles using product browse nodes, a handy way to link related items through the Joomla tags component
• Amazon Country Selector module - for multi-country sites
• Amazon Showcase module - shows Amazon products in a nice slideshow with transition effects

These extensions are supplied as a single package, which you upload and install to your Joomla site in the normal way.

The Amazon Shopping Cart package is designed to extend the AmazonWS plugin so that it offers a much more complete shopping experience. Customers will be able to browse on your site, search for products, and add them to their shopping cart, all on your own website. They only go to the Amazon site to check out and pay. Within the cart the customers can have multiple items, can modify the quantity, delete items, or save them for later. If they are logged into your site the cart can also be stored for up to 90 days: useful for people who want to go "window shopping" but are not ready to buy yet. The advantage for you is that customers may buy more stuff using your affiliate links, and the source of the purchase will be more directly traceable to your site (what Amazon consider a "qualifying purchase" in their terms).
