This is very simple mod for an Amazon book store. You can either directly link to a page you can build. (although its limited) Or you can use a Iframe tag like I did so it fits right into your VBA pages.

If you are part of the Amazon associate program you can use your account Id for this or you can just use it for content. By using the following site's program they will take 1 out of 5 commisions for what you sell out of your store. Which I think is a great deal, I don't have an amazon account cause I could care less about the commisions.

If you want an Amazon associate account go here.
https://associates.amazon.com/exec/panama/associates/apply/086-1030693-7145417

If not start here:

Go to http://www.associatesshop.com/ and you can get a free page built for your site in just a few minutes.

Just make an acount input a few requirements and thats about it.
It took me about 10 minute for the whole sign up process.

You can specify what type of books to look for so the content pertains to your site.

After you set-up the account they will send you an e-mail to activate. Activate it and seconds later you will have your own Amazon Store.

Just take the URL they provide you and input it into the Iframe tag I inserted in the code below.(blue text)
Insert the code into a new template and name it adv_portal_bookstore




<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] Book Store</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="$getbgrow" width="100%">

<iframe width="670" border="0" height="1200" src ="your book store URL goes here"></iframe>


</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />


Thats all!

You can play with the Iframe size and set them to your liking.

Here is my store, although I just limited to books only. http://www.masteringthemarkets.com/index.php?page=books



Enjoy,

I made a change to the template above to make the iframe to appear to be part of the page.
