Hi @ds55
Thanks for your input, the plugin is updated to support the 3.x creators api version. update your version and you should be good to go.
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/

In reply to: [Create] Support for Amazon Creators APIhey, hopping in since i went through the same question on my own side. if youre still watching this thread and the create plugin update hasnt shipped yet, a few things worth knowing:
- old pa-api v5 keys still work for now. amazons published timeline has two dates – apr 30 is the deprecation date and amazons recommended migration cutoff (docs stop being maintained), and may 15 is when the v5 endpoint itself retires. so dont trash the old creds even if you start migrating, you have til mid-may on the actual endpoint
- the new creators api uses oauth 2.0 and the credentials come from the associates central creators api portal, not aws iam. so its a fresh app registration process
- amazon also tightened the access requirements – 10 qualifying sales in the last 30 days in the marketplace you want api access for. if youre under that, you can keep using pa-api v5 keys you already have, but you cant get fresh creators api access until you hit the threshold
longer breakdown with the exact timeline: https://paapiplugin.com/amazon-is-retiring-pa-api-v5-is-your-affiliate-plugin-ready/?utm_source=wporg-forums&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=pa-api-migration
i maintain a free wp plugin (PaapiPlugin) that supports both auth methods if you need something to lean on while create ships their update. https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/paapi-product-search-for-amazon/
not affiliated with this plugin but wanted to drop what i know since its bitten a bunch of people lately.
what youre seeing is almost certainly the offers v1 to offers v2 migration amazon did back in december. the price field moved in the json response. in v1 the selling price lived in OfferSummary, in v2 its inside Offers > Listings and for products with variations it only populates once you request the specific variant. so a plugin that still reads the v1 path gets a null back on anything amazon now treats as a “check all products” product (usually ones with size/color variants).
the placeholder probably isnt missing on your side, the field is coming back empty from amazon. the fix is server-side in the plugin – it needs to read from the new v2 path, and ideally do a variant lookup when the parent asin returns no price.
a bit more context on the whole pa-api v5 to creators api transition if youre curious: https://paapiplugin.com/amazon-is-retiring-pa-api-v5-is-your-affiliate-plugin-ready/?utm_source=wporg-forums&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=pa-api-migration
also worth pinging Timo with the v1 vs v2 offers distinction, it gives him a clear thing to look at. hope it gets sorted.

In reply to: [Auto Amazon Links - Amazon Associates Affiliate Plugin] Auto Amazon Linkssorry youre dealing with this, sounds painful if 70% of your site depends on those links.
auto amazon links runs off the old offers v1 side of pa-api which amazon started shutting down around dec 23 last year. if your links use the ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com image widgets or the old pa-api v5 pricing calls, those are what broke. its not your setup, its the amazon side changing under the plugin.
things worth trying first before hunting for a replacement:
- check if miunosoft has pushed any update in the last 60 days on the wp.org page – if not, its probably not coming
- if you still have your PA-API v5 access keys, save them somewhere safe. amazon hasnt revoked old keys yet so any plugin that supports them should still work for you short term
- amazon is moving everyone to the creators api (oauth 2.0 based). two dates worth knowing – apr 30 is the deprecation date and amazons recommended migration cutoff, and may 15 is when the v5 endpoint actually retires. so even if auto amazon links does get patched, youll be doing this migration again in a few weeks anyway
background on what amazons actually doing and the timeline: https://paapiplugin.com/amazon-is-retiring-pa-api-v5-is-your-affiliate-plugin-ready/?utm_source=wporg-forums&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=pa-api-migration
fwiw i maintain Product Search for Amazon (free on wp.org) which supports both pa-api v5 with the old keys and the new creators api oauth flow, so migrating from a dead plugin while keeping your affiliate tag intact is pretty painless. im biased obviously. https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/paapi-product-search-for-amazon/
either way, dont delete your old pa-api keys yet.

In reply to: [Insert Amz Images] Support for New Amazon Creators APIdont think AMZ Images Inserter has added creators api support yet. i ran into the same problem and ended up building my own plugin (PaapiPlugin, free on wp.org) that handles both PA-API v5 and the new OAuth flow.. im the dev so obviously biased but it does work with both auth methods
your old PA-API v5 keys still work btw, the jan 31 deadline was basically soft-extended. dont delete them. but yeah creators api oauth is where amazons pushing everyone eventually
Just a heads up – if you’re looking for plugins that already support the new Creators API alongside the legacy PA-API, there are options out there. I develop PaapiPlugin and we added both auth methods specifically because of this transition. The old credentials still work for now but Amazon’s clearly pushing everyone to OAuth. The 10-sale requirement for new API access is the biggest headache. If you already have PA-API v5 keys, hang onto them.
