The compatibility mode to Amazon Simple Admin and Amazon Simple Affiliate allows you to easily switch to our plugin. So you can switch to our plugin within a few minutes.
You can find the compatibility mode under “Affiliate Toolkit” -> “Affiliate Toolkit” -> “Compatibility Mode”.
Amazon Simple Admin 1
1. Activate Compatibility mode
Use this option to enable the ASA1 shortcodes.
2. Shop (Standard)
This shop is only used when creating a product. Before activating, make sure that you have set up an Amazon shop with a valid connection.
3. Product status (Standard)
With the product status, you determine whether the products should be published or saved as a draft.
4. Import all collections
This option imports all created collections and not only the ones used in the post.
5. ASA template shortcut
The template linking allows you to replace your own advanced templates with our templates.
In the left-hand text box, for example, you enter the name of your template (as used in the ASA shortcode), in the right-hand selection box, select the toolkit template you want to use.
6. Last import

If the result is not satisfying?
Switch off the compatibility mode of our plugin and reactivate ASA. Please inquire with us if something does not fit.
