ECS Component [IBiz Amazon Integrator V2]

Properties   Methods   Events   Configuration Settings  

The ECS component provides an easy interface to Amazon's E-Commerce Service (ECS).

NOTE: What follows is a very short description of the component interfaces. For more information, please consult the help files that come with the respective package.

Remarks

The ECS component allows you to access Amazon's E-Commerce Service (ECS). ECS allows you to access Amazon's product data and e-commerce functionality. This allows developers, web site creators and any online services to easily use the data and functionality that Amazon exposes to power its own e-commerce business. The ECS component makes it very easy for developers to create rich, highly effective applications and web sites.

You will first need to sign up for the ECS service and obtain the AccessKey and SecretKey from Amazon. Then you can start polling Amazon's ECS servers and for data and making online transactions to their servers.

You may need to refer to Amazon's website for a full list of available functionality.
