Customised products – all you need to know!
Winamaz’s Product module facilitates the creation of customised products that are unavailable in the Winamaz database, for example, from advertisers that have an affiliate program that is not available using Winamaz. This generally means that the advertiser either manages its own affiliate program or is using an affiliate platform other than those configured on Winamaz.
Note that to display products created using this module, a new shortcode is used: « winamaz custom ». Customised products will not be displayed in other shortcodes.
Where to start?
First create the customised products you wish to include in the Winamaz Custom shortcodes. This is done within the “Product” module available from the “Winamaz” menu:

| Image (Optional) | Add the link to an image of the product (from your website media file) | https://website-link/akai_professional_mpc_one.png |

The product is then saved in the list and can be used in the « Winamaz Custom » shortcode.
Example 2 with advertiser logo and no price

You will also have access to the icons to modify 
the product, duplicate it link 
or delete 
it. .
You can also copy the shortcode for any product in the list by clicking on the copy shortcode icon
The result provides the shortcode, including the product reference, which is a number: [winamaz custom=”1″]
Creating a « Winamaz Custom » shortcode:
Once a product is saved and activated, it can be displayed on any of your webpages by either copying the shortcode from within the « Product » module as shown above, or by creating it directly on each page using the Winamaz Shortcode generator, as detailed below:
Example 1: Single product
⦁ Open your webpage or article or create a new one. On the righthand side of your page, the Winamaz Shortcode generator is displayed. From the « Select Type » dropdown list, select the «Custom Product » option.
⦁ Next choose the product to be displayed from the « Product » list:
⦁ You can also choose horizontal or vertical format in the « Template » field (default is vertical)
⦁ Click on the « generate» button to generate the shortcode
⦁ Once generated you can paste it onto your page:
⦁ Click on « preview » to visualise your product display:
The product is displayed with the configured options: Title, description, Advertiser name (not logo), price without discount:
As the product was linked to an ASIN code, clicking on « Comparer les prix » will display any additional products found on Amazon or any other advertisers that sell the product and are configured on your system:
Example 2: Multiple products
Reminder: multiple products can be displayed by linking products using the « category » field when in the « Product » module:
If you use the same category name on two or more products, they can then be displayed together using a single shortcode.
⦁ Open your webpage or article or create a new one. On the righthand side of your page, the Winamaz Shortcode generator is displayed. From the « Select Type » dropdown list, select the «Custom Product » option.
