hallo maxi, ich antworte auf englisch weil mein deutsch nicht gut genug fur technisches ist, hoffe das passt.
short version: you can already start the migration if you want, and amazon actually recommends being done by end of april. amazons published timeline has two dates:
- apr 30, 2026 is the deprecation date and amazons recommended migration cutoff (docs stop being maintained, amazon says migrate by this date to avoid disruption)
- may 15, 2026 is when the v5 endpoint itself retires. pa-api v5 keys still work until then
- the new creators api is oauth 2.0. credentials come from the associates central creators api portal (separate from your regular amazon developer console)
- amazon now requires 10 qualifying sales in the last 30 days in the marketplace before they give you creators api access. if youre under that threshold, keep using your existing pa-api v5 keys
the process itself once you have creators api credentials: register an oauth app in the creators api portal, get the credential id and secret, plug them into whatever plugin supports the new auth method. its not a shortcode change, just a credential swap if the plugin is built for both.

ich weiss nicht ob affiliate-toolkit schon die neue api unterstutzt. falls nicht und du was zum uberbrucken brauchst: ich entwickle PaapiPlugin (kostenlos auf wp.org), unterstutzt beide auth methoden. https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/paapi-product-search-for-amazon/
