FAQ
Which shops can I use?
Almost any online store. Affiliate Egg reads the structured product data most shops already publish for Google, plus dedicated and general parsers for the rest. The quickest test is to paste a product URL and see — Is your shop supported?
Do prices update automatically?
Yes. Price and availability refresh on a schedule you set, using WordPress Cron. See Price updates.
Should I use Affiliate Egg on its own or with Content Egg?
Standalone is the simplest — paste a link, get a product block. Content Egg adds keyword search, price comparison and richer output. See Standalone or with Content Egg?.
How do affiliate links work?
You add plain product URLs, then set your affiliate link once per shop in the Deeplink tab — it's applied to every product from that shop. See Deeplink settings.
A shop keeps getting blocked. What can I do?
Some shops limit automated requests. Use direct product URLs, slow down, enable a scraping service, or ask the shop to whitelist your server's IP. See When a shop blocks access.
My shop shows "no product data."
The page has no data the plugin can read — the shop may need a custom parser. We can build one, or you can. See Ordering a custom parser.
Can I use Amazon?
You can, but Amazon blocks scrapers aggressively. If you promote Amazon, Content Egg's Amazon module uses Amazon's official API, which is faster and more reliable than reading pages.
Can I change how products look, or their wording?
Yes — pick a template (or create your own), and edit the button text, disclaimer and labels in Frontend text & wording.
