How to Add a Search Button to an Amazon Store
When you join Amazon's associate program, you can create what Amazon calls an aStore. The aStore can be embedded into your own website to allow customers to purchase products through Amazon while allowing you to earn commissions on those sales. Creating and editing an aStore is free, and the process is simple. Once you become an Amazon affiliate, edit your store to match the products you would like to promote and sell. Adding a search button to your aStore requires you to enable the search widget while editing your aStore.
