How To:Embed an Amazon Astore in your BANS Site

Simple (hopefully!) instructions on how to easily embed an Astore in your blog.

1) on Astore settings tick - Hide the category navigation

Your aStore - Settings

Hide the category navigation
Enable mature content screening
Enable a link back to my site in the navigation
Enable an About page

2) make a 1 page Astore
3) Continue to Edit Color & Design
Content background color

  • color picker
Change the colour of the content background to FFFFFF
4) Name your astore then un -tick Show store header

Configure Store Header

Show store header

Include store name and specify font size:

5) Continue to Sidebar Widgets and un-tick everything

6) Continue to Finish and Get link

Choose Embed my store using an inline frame.

Get Store Link

Specify how you would like to embed your store into your Web site.

  • Simple link to my store as a standalone site.
  • Embed my store using an inline frame.
  • Embed my store using a frameset.

6) Copy the code

The iframe that Amazon supplies is a little too tall for most BANS pages. You can use the code below (substitute the URL of your Astore).

<iframe src=”http://astore.amazon.com/xxxxxxxxx-20″ frameborder=”0″ width=”100%” scrolling=”no” height=”950″></iframe>

Create a new page then click the <> button on the menu to open up the HTML editor. Paste the code into the page and press save. Now set up the page title, file name etc and you’re done!

If you need to modify the look of the Astore page you can do this by adding the following code to your CSS file

iframe {margin-left: auto; margin-right:auto; width:100%;} and change the values to suit your set up.

You can see an example at Lawn Mower Auctions Bookstore

  1. 1 aStore Proxy

    I thought your checklist will create the necessary HTML as you are using form controls. I learnt about BANS for the first time on your website.

    Checkout astoreproxy.com which allows to display an astore directly in your website without using any frames.
