EasyStore V1.2 includes an update by Amazon which requires an Access ID and Secret ID. If you have a store before V1.2 or before August 3rd, your store will stop functioning on August 15th. Please submit a support ticket and we will email you the patch right away. We also offer an update service so you don't need to update it yourself.
Step 1 - Before you install
Before you install your Easy Store you will need to sign up for a FREE amazon associate account and a FREE AWS Account. You will need to do this before your store starts receiving commission from sales.
- Get your Amazon Associate ID by signing up here- https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/ . Log into your Amazon affiliate section and find your Associate tracking ID (usually located on the left hand side under "Tracking ID". You will need to paste this into your stores backend when going through the customization pages.
- Get Your Amazon Access ID's - Log into your associates account you just created https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/. Click on the blue button at the top of the page that says "Product Advertising API" and sign up. After signed up scroll down and click on "manage your account". You will need to paste these ID's into your stores backend when going through the customization pages.
Step 2 - Install your store
There are two ways you can install your EasyStore. In the root directory or in a subfolder. The two different methods are explained below. If you would like an Easy Store representative to install your store for free, just submit a support ticket and we'll install your software as soon as possible. Usually within a few hours :)

You can now log onto your easystore and configure it by clicking on the "admin" link in the upper right hand corner of your store.
Your default login is:
Username: admin
Password: admin
We recommend changing the default password under the profile options in your admin area for security reasons.
Step 3 - Enter your Amazon Associate ID and Access ID's
Log into your backend. Once logged in click next towards the bottom of the page until you get to "Personalize My Store". Here you can enter all of your ID's you should have gathered in the previous steps of this tutorial.
That's it! Thank you for choosing The Easy Store!
