The possibilities are exciting, and we recommend you purchase a book that specializes
in web services to discover more about their world. Refer to the list of public web services at
http://www.xmethods.net/ to get an idea of the kinds of external functionality you can integrate
into your application.
In this chapter, you??™ll learn how to integrate Amazon Web Services (AWS) to interact with
Amazon and sell Amazon.com products through your TShirtShop web site.
You already have an e-commerce web site that sells t-shirts to its customers. You can go further
and make some more money from their passion for t-shirts by incorporating related gifts
from Amazon.com into your site. Do you do this for free? Oh no, you??™ll display Amazon.com??™s
details on your site, but the final checkout will be processed by Amazon.com, and Amazon.com
will deliver, in your bank account, a small commission for purchases made from your web site.
Sounds like easy money, doesn??™t it?
In this chapter, you??™ll learn how to use AWS to add a special department called Amazon
T-Shirts to your web store, which you can see in Figure 22-1. This will be a ???special??? department
in that it will be handled differently from others??”for example, payment is handled directly by
Amazon.com when the visitor wants to buy a product. This chapter explores just a small subset
of AWS??™s capabilities, so if you really want to make a fortune from this service, dig deeper
into additional resources to find more substance.
