About this plugin
Show affiliate products inside your articles as clean, customizable product boxes, then track which ones get clicked. Everything is free, with no license or subscription.
Layouts
- Grid card, horizontal row, comparison table, and Quick View popup
- Star ratings, pros and cons (“Why we like it” / “Why we don’t”), badges, price and crossed-out original price
- A live preview in the editor shows the card as you type
Insert products your way
- Gutenberg blocks with a product picker
- A Shortcode Builder page: tick products, pick a layout, copy the shortcode
- Shortcodes for full control
Click tracking and analytics
- Buttons route through your own site, so every click is counted before the visitor reaches the store
- Analytics page: clicks over time, top products, top articles, top countries
Amazon and eBay import (optional)
- Search by keyword or paste a product URL, then import title, image, price and affiliate link in one click
- Requires your own Amazon Associates and/or eBay Partner Network credentials
- Optional auto-sync keeps prices and availability current
Geo links and link health
- Send visitors to their local Amazon store, using your tracking tag for each country you have joined
- A daily link checker flags dead affiliate links
Shortcodes
- [dzwapc id="123" style="grid"] single grid card
- [dzwapc id="123" style="horizontal"] single horizontal row

Notes
- Neither Amazon nor eBay returns star ratings through their APIs, so add ratings, badges and pros/cons yourself after importing.
- Amazon retired its old Product Advertising API on 15 May 2026. This plugin uses the replacement Creators API, so old AWS keys will not work. Amazon requires 10 qualifying sales in the trailing 30 days to keep API access active.
- Amazon’s operating agreement requires displayed prices to be current. Keep Auto-Sync on, or update prices periodically.
- Optional: Settings > General has a “Credits: DZW” checkbox that adds a small link to dailyzerowaste.com at the bottom-left of cards, tables and popups. It is off by default and entirely your choice.
- Add an affiliate disclosure on pages that use this plugin. The [dzwapc_disclosure] shortcode is there for this.
- WP-Cron only runs when someone visits your site. On a quiet site, use a real server cron hitting wp-cron.php for reliable sync timing.
