Product cards are blocks that allow users to easily create content about products or even services. They can include a product image, call-to-action button, and other optional fields. Product cards can be used to build on-site content and the data within these blocks is readable by major syndication partners.
Using the product card block
Product cards have mandatory fields and optional fields spread across multiple tabs.

Data source can be set to Database or Text.
If pulling from existing products within the product taxonomy, select Database, then search for and select the desired product.
If creating a unique product, select Text. Under Name, add the product name. If your product card styling displays price, enter that information here.

There are multiple places within the dashboard to configure Amazon links and tracking codes. Every organization belonging to the Amazon Affiliates program may set a default tracking code at the site level. Contact your administrator to set or change the default tracking code.
The site default tracking code can be overridden at the post level by using the Article Amazon Links.
Or by setting a unique tracking code at the product card level.
