Shelve – The Ultimate Amazon Product Showcase for Creators
1. Introduction
How Shelve Simplifies Affiliate Marketing & Product Curation
Shelve is a web app that allows creators to showcase Amazon products effortlessly. By simply pasting an Amazon product link, Shelve automatically fetches the product’s name, price, and image, saving it with a single click. This streamlined process makes it easier than ever for content creators and influencers to curate and share product recommendations.
To achieve this, I developed AmzPy, a custom PyPI library that handles Amazon product data scraping while bypassing anti-bot measures. This ensures reliable data retrieval tailored to my app’s needs.
2. The Problem
Creators and affiliate marketers often struggle with displaying Amazon products in a visually engaging and structured way. Traditional affiliate links lack appeal, making it hard to drive conversions. Shelve was built to solve this problem by offering a clean, user-friendly interface where users can save and share products seamlessly.
