Features
The CBN AssociateStore is developed upon Amazon's Associate Web Service
(AWS v4.0) technology. It brings Amazon's huge stock of Christian products
to your own storefront and allows you to customize and manage it with
ease.
Your AssociateStore comes with a pre-configured Christian product catalog
(view demos here) and is programmed with your
unique Amazon Associate ID. You can earn up
to 10% referral fees from Amazon on every sale generated from your
store! There is absolutely no inventory to manage, no shipping to handle,
no merchant account to open! The following is a list of great features offered by CBN AssociateStore:
Customizable via web based control panel
Your AssociateStore is initially built with the default store template you
selected during the ordering process. However, you can customizable its
color, layout, content and settings via a web
based control panel.
Filter undesired items, categories and merchants
We understand that you might not like certain items, categories or third-party
merchants in Amazon's product database. We have done extensive research on Amazon browse nodes (a.k.a. "categories") and pre-supplied a list of browse nodes
that are deemed not proper for a Christian webstore. You can always add new browse nodes to the list, or remove existing nodes from the list.
Additionally, you can exclude individual items from your store and filter bad words from keyword searches.
These filters can be easily setup in your store's control panel under "Filter Settings".
Advanced searching capabilities
CBN AssociateStore gives your store visitors advanced and granular searching
capabilities. They can search by author, publisher, brand, ASIN and more.
The search engine can be fine tuned through various search
settings in the control panel.
Build your own categories
Yes! CBN AssociateStore even allows you to custom build
your own categories. You can edit an existing category's properties,
or create a new category using a ASIN list or a specific Amazon browse
node (not limited to Christian products).
Automatic email reporting
If you want to watch closely the activities on your online store, you
can configure your AssociateStore to send automatic reports to your email
address when visitors add items to the shopping cart or checkout from
your site to Amazon.
Search engine friendly URLs
Your AssociateStore website has been optimized with search engine friendly
URLs. As you can see from our demo sites, all
category and product links are programmed with static HTML addresses,
which can be easily indexed by search engine crawlers.
Your choice of multiple bookstore locales
CBN AssociateStore supports three Amazon store locales - United States
(Amazon.com), United Kingdom (Amazon.co.uk) and Canada (Amazon.ca). You
can choose to include one or more
locales in your online bookstore.
Sell general merchandise from Amazon's huge inventory
Your AssociateStore comes with a default Catalog that includes both Christian products and general merchandise available at Amazon's huge inventories (over 30 categories).
These merchandise cover almost every area of our daily living needs, such as apparel, automotive, baby, beauty, computer,grocery, photo, hardware, etc. This feature greatly expands your selling power to your visitors and customers.
Visit our demo stores to view all available categories.
Create custom pages to sell your own products
Yes! You can sell your own products that are not available in Amazon's database on your AssociateStore. This can be accomplished by
creating custom pages from your store control panel and inserting the HTML code
required by your shopping cart provider, e.g. Paypal. We can help you setup these custom pages at a nominal fee. View this custom page for a good example.
Earn extra money from affiliate ads or links
CBN AssociateStore allows you to display your favorite affiliate ads or links (such as Google Ads) on your store website, so that you can earn extra money
when your store visitors click on these ads or links. View our demo stores for examples.
