The WP Shop Builder Plugin

WP Shop Builder is a WordPress plugin that allows you to easily develop Amazon or Ebay shops.

The plugin has been developed by Kevin Lam, CEO of a Web Design and SEO company presented on the Rank Above Others website.

I have recently purchased it and, after having used it to develop my Amazon store, I have decided to present my experiences with this product.

The plugin, which is offered with free lifetime upgrade, originally supported only Amazon products from different Amazon stores such as the US, UK and other national stores. Recently it has been upgrade to access also EBay products.

It offers a few customizable themes and supports following functions:

  • Easily Works With Your Existing Blog
  • Allows You To Add Multiple Products of Various Types
  • It offers AdSense Enabled Widgets
  • It provides Instructional Videos On How To Install A Blog and Setup The WP Shop Builder Theme & Plugin
  • It has instructional PDF On How To Obtain Your Amazon Access Key, Secret Key and Associate ID

You can watch a video presentation by Kevin Lam on the video below:

The WP Shop Builder Installation

When you purchase the plugin, you can download two separate zip files containing the WP Shop Builder plugin and the WordPress themes.

You should then install the WP Shop Builder plugin and also the Featured Content Galllery plugin, if you use one of the provided WP Shop Builder themes.

After activating the WP Shop Builder plugin, you should then complete the settings that require you to enter your Amazon Associate Id, Access Key Id, Secret Access Key and the EBay Campaign Id. If you don’t know how to get these data, you can read a PDF manual which explains in detail how to request them.

The Wp Shop Builder option, added to the standard WordPress menu,  then allows you to select either Amazon or EBay products for your shop.

You should then add one or more store categories by choosing the category name, a keyword to select products (e.g. notebook), the store country and other options. You can also  request auto-posting of new products with a specified frequency (e.g. every 8 hours).

You are then given the possibility to extract single products or multiple products,  by clicking the auto generate items button.

The extracted store categories can eventually be added to WordPress pages that will contain normal texts and all the extracted store items.

The page definition contains a reference to your extracted category and displays the items according to the chosen template. The templates used more frequently are the home page one and the  full width page normally used for all other pages.

My Experience with the WP Shop Builder

I have been able to build two Amazon shops in a relatively short time and with only minor problems. I could easily solve them by contacting the help desk people who were very helpful and quickly helped me to solve the problems. For instance initially I could not access the product detail pages and I found that this was simply due to the Permalinks structure that had to be changed.

I added a few pages for the store categories and could have a lot of details without any special posting, even if you could add your blog posts if you want.
