How to get an Amazon Key & Secret Key for the Amazon API

IMPORTANT - If you are a FreshStore member, you don't need your own Amazon API keys, and you do not need to follow this guide. Your stores are already integrated with Amazon.

How to get your own Amazon API Keys

Amazon API keys are used to query the Amazon API - this is required to ensure that your store's prices and product content are kept up to date.

To apply for a set of API keys, sign in to your Amazon Affiliate account and click Tools - Product Advertising API

On the next screen, click the "Contact Us" link to contact Amazon.

Fill in the contact form, and in the comments, paste the following:

Hi,

I would like to use the Product Advertising API to automatically update the products and prices on my website instead of having to do it manually.

For SEO and compatibility benefits, we do not want to use Javascript widgets; our business model requires API access.

Please can I apply to have the Product Advertising API enabled in my account so that we can generate further sales for Amazon and continue to grow our project?

Kind Regards,

Your Name

You should then receive an email within the next few days stating whether your application has succeeded.

IMPORTANT - Amazon may not approve your API keys right away, especially if you haven't made any sales, but if you are a FreshStore member, you do not need Amazon API Keys.
