For the AWS Developer
For AWS developers, and if you are using the ASM2 script, then creating the International Direct Store is as you would create all the other stores in your portfolio. You are, however, limited to both a lesser choice of product categories (SearchIndex) and product listing.
Books, DVDs, and VHS has always been available internationally from Amazon.com, meaning that the whole subject/genre range of the products are available.
Other product listing are restricted to only one category, say, Electronics Available for International Shipping, Jewelry Available for International Shipping, except for Software, which is available in four (4) subcategories: Business & Productivity,
Graphics & Development, Kids & Home and PC Games.
Our International Direct Store Site
Our International Direct Store is located here. Have a look around if you are a AWS developer (especially if you are using the ASM2 script) or shop some and have it delivered to your family, friends or loved ones anywhere (restriction apply of course) across the globe.
