It is not exactly a feature but if you have installed demo data you will that there is 'Manufacturer' called amazon and also a catergory called 'amazon books'.
In the category 'amazon' you have products that are amazon products which when added to user cart take user to amazon.com where they buy them and you get your share as a affiliate.
What i can't find is where to set this link to amazon.co.uk and not amazon.com ?

Hello, ok a search through DB shows amazon.com under 'Buy Link' but i can't find it anywhere and a search of manuals does not show it?
Am i being really dumb or is no one else using the affiliate feature?
cheers

This affiliate refers to being an Amazon affiliate - nothing to do with Viart. Log onto Amazon. com / co.uk to become one.

Yes i am fully aware that you need to be an amazon affiliate but how does the system know what amazon site to go to?
I can find nowhere to enter amazon site link but in DB i under 'Buy Link' i can see amazon.com ?
Looking at the demo products for amazon i cannot find this 'Buy Link' or any ref to to amazon.com except in image link?
So i am still asking how is the link set?

Carpman:
I thought I responded to your inquiry but apparently it didn't post. What you're attempting to do is change the field ' Direct Link to buy product'. This is easily done, and I'm not sure why it's at where it is, but if you follow these steps you can change that link:
Login
Go to Products and Categories
Search for your product
Click on the 'Edit' link
Click on the tab for 'Rating/Notes'
Now at the bottom of that page you'll see the field for ' Direct Link to buy product'.
Let me know if you have any problems locating that field.
Thanks
Dan

Thanks found it now.
I have to say that is the most unlikely place to find it and manual is very poor on this subject.
This could be easier and clearer.
