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.  Below are intructions on how to update your store.

Step 1 - Before you install the patch

1. 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 - Import Table Updates

Import the new table fields into your database by importing the file named "storedesign.txt" using phpmyadmin or another database control panel.  Usually you will click on "import" in the control panel, then "browse" to find the file.  It will then update your database with the new fields.
