Title: Wrong prices Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Wrong prices * Resolved [hendrikm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hendrikm/) * (@hendrikm) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-prices/) * Hi, * I modified a template to: * `%LINK_OPEN%de# Amazon Preis: %PRICE%DE# Angebote ab:%OFFER_PRICE%DE# Listenpreis: %LIST_PRICE%DE#%LINK_CLOSE%` * and I get the following result: Amazon Preis: EUR 11,90 Angebote ab:EUR 11,90 Listenpreis: EUR 26,98 * But if I click the link, the real item price is 17,35€. The OFFER_Price is correct, though * How can I get the real price? * Thanks, Hendrik * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-link/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-link/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Plugin Author [paulstuttard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulstuttard/) * (@paulstuttard) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-prices/#post-4372553) * Hi, * The plugin retrieves the offers / list price using the Advertising API, it is possible to change which items it chooses to populate the various keywords but sometimes the prices in the API do not match those displayed on Amazon’s site. * One thing you might try is changing the ‘Condition’ option, but I think this just changes the offer prices. * Try playing with the Amazon Advertising Scratchpad to see what the API is returning: * [http://associates-amazon.s3.amazonaws.com/scratchpad/index.html](http://associates-amazon.s3.amazonaws.com/scratchpad/index.html) * Hope this helps! * Paul * Thread Starter [hendrikm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hendrikm/) * (@hendrikm) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-prices/#post-4372631) * Hi Paul, * I set up a test page at [http://www.camblog.de/test-fur-d/](http://www.camblog.de/test-fur-d/) Somehow the simpleadmin plugin returns the correct price. * It happens with both ASINS: B002MEGATM and B0037FLUYU. * On your suggestion I tried the scratchpad. * I couldn´t find the value returned by %LIST-PRICE%, but I found another value: 1508EUREUR 15,08 * Now, if you subtract from %LIST-PRICE%, you´d get the price which is shown at the amazon page… * BTW, the value for %OFFER-PRICE% is returned correctly, I can also find it in the scratchpad. Just the regular price is elusive. * Thanks, Hendrik * Plugin Author [paulstuttard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulstuttard/) * (@paulstuttard) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-prices/#post-4372660) * Hi, * I could provide an enhancement to generate the ‘Amazon Price’ using the List price and ‘Amount Saved’. * Another method used by other plugins is to scrape extra information from the Amazon Web pages (I have another enhancement to grab the ratings/review info.) I could extend this to grab the ‘real amazon price’. * Paul * Thread Starter [hendrikm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hendrikm/) * (@hendrikm) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-prices/#post-4372676) * That would be awesome!

Unfortunately it doesn´t work so far. In which folder do I actually put the php file? I tried both “extras” and “include”, but if I modify the template, the new keywords are outputted as text, eg latest price:%LATEST_PRICE% * Plugin Author [paulstuttard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulstuttard/) * (@paulstuttard) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-prices/#post-4372750) * Hi, * Just put it in the normal wp-contents/plugins folder and activate it as you would any other plugin. If it works then it should also survive any upgrades to the main plugin. * Paul * Thread Starter [hendrikm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hendrikm/) * (@hendrikm) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-prices/#post-4372803) * Just wanted to give you a feedback – it works! * Thank you, Hendrik * Plugin Author [paulstuttard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulstuttard/) * (@paulstuttard) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-prices/#post-4372804) * Brilliant, * Thanks for letting me know, * Paul Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) The topic ‘Wrong prices’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/amazon-link_070606.svg) * [Amazon Link](https://wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-link/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-link/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/amazon-link/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/amazon-link/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/amazon-link/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/amazon-link/reviews/) * 9 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [paulstuttard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulstuttard/) * Last activity: [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-prices/#post-4372804) * Status: resolved
