 * There seems to be a problem with the product link shortcode. Using this shortcode,
   instead of the product name, the link has the following text: `Amazon_Link_Text`,
   and is surrounded by double square brackets.

 * Dear [@jrcollins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jrcollins/),
 * Are you following below two guidelines for using the ProductLink shortcode:
    
   1. A word needs to be selected in the editor before hitting the search button
   so that that word will replace the `Amazon_Link_Text` during rendering. 2. The
   Product link works only in visual mode of tinymce.
 * Please let us know if above two things help to solve your issue.
