known API 5.0 issues

* ratings – not part of API 5.0 yet
* customer reviews – not part of API 5.0 yet
updating from zstore 1.x
not part of the initial release of z5 – but will come with one of the next updates
Just update the config file at least with your database credentials, upload files, point browser to installation folder and follow simplest instructions to install your amazon affilate store
Categories are used to handle your products – you can display these categories each as single menue item in the navigation bar. It’s also possible to make just one single dropdown menu item containing all of the product categories OR you can even hide all of the categories while they are still accessible with their links

PA-API 5 Requirements for Affiliates
- All sites must be HTTPS: so you need an SSL certificate. You really should do this anyway for SEO and conversion purposes. Most hosts now have free SSL even the Let’s Encrypt type ones are fine for this.
… but I have to say that it has been worked w/o SSL support too, however I’d recommend using SSL cerificates too
Nice to have
- possibility to handle cron jobs on server
- way to access your server via ftp, ssh, scp..
- credentials for a mysql database or the possibility to create a database with needed credentials
- some knowledge in HTML/PHP if you like to make some changes to the layout and adapt/add custom pages
