Page 1 of 7 )
In this concluding article, find out how to add search features to your AWS-backed
online store, and link your product pages up to Amazon.com's shopping carts and
wish lists.In the first part of this article, I introduced you to Amazon Web Services (AWS),
the XML-based API that allows regular Joes to supercharge their online stores
with Amazon's product catalog and databases. I showed you the basics of AWS, demonstrating
the API calls needed to build a product listing and obtain detailed product information
on any item in Amazon's catalog.
In this concluding part, I'm going to spend some time discussing the search features
built into AWS, showing you the various types of search options available and
illustrating, with examples, how they can be used to improve the user experience
at your store. I'll also show you how to link your store up to Amazon's transaction
system, by adding support for both shopping carts and wish lists to your site.
All that and more, inside!
