Solved: Amazon aStore not mobile-friendly

Tasha7712 · ‎06-27-2017

Hi there! I embedded the iframe for my Amazon aStore and it shows fine on desktop, but doesn't format for mobile and appears cut off. Is there a way to get it to format correctly for mobile? My page I'm having issues with is http://www.omshantipups.com/products.html.

Thanks!

An update in case anyone runs into this same issue - it appears that aStores are not responsive and don't format correctly on mobile. Amazon recommends Native Ads over aStores, so I went with custom native ads. The mobile format only shows 4 native ad products, even though the ad set allows for 8, so I'm tweaking it to display multiple ad sets, but it looks like this will work.

Does Amazon provide any responsive embed code, @Tasha7712? It's possible they have different code that you can use.

It gives me 3 options. The second one is what I've currently got in place.

1) a simple link to use for an external page, which works but isn't ideal as I wouldn't be able to link to it through email because of aStore ToS.

2) Embed my store using an inline frame with this code: <iframe src="http://astore.amazon.com/omsh03-20" width="90%" height="4000" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

3)Embed my store using a frameset with this code:

@Tasha7712

Have you removed your store because Products page is showing blank for me?

@NHRFTF It might be your ad blocker not showing it. Which is another issue for me to work around. Hmm.
