For this to work, the link should be on your website (and not in an iframe). This pluing will not (yet) work on anything which is loaded in an iframe. Such links include Amazon Native Ads, aStore amd Banners that you load using Amazon HTML code. = Does it work with short URLs as well (amzn.to) or just with long URL? = From Version 1.8.0 onwards, we have added support for shrot URLs too. So both - long URLs with full Amazon link, as well as short URLs (amzn.to) will get converted to a global/localized Amazon store link. Infact, this service even works with Amazon links that are redirected from other non-amazon URLs (e.g. bitly links, or links using Prettylink plugin). As long as you enter the URL slugs in the setting, those URLs will be followed to find out if they are Amazon links and if yes, they will be converted to a globalized link. = How does BestAzon compare with other Amazon plugins? = Really, you should find it out for yourself!
