How-to customize the output
Using a custom title

Using a custom description
[amazon box="ASIN" description="My description text"]
Tip: Alternatively you can use a custom HTML description e.g. building your own lists. Therefore place the shortcode – according to the following example – before and after your content.
[amazon box="ASIN"]My custom description including HTML or not.[/amazon]
Using a custom button text
[amazon box="ASIN" button_text="My text"]
Using a custom product link title
[amazon box="ASIN" link_title="My SEO link title" /]
Adding another (detail) button
You can display an extra button inside a product box. This can be very useful e.g. when referencing to an internal/external link which contains a test report of the product:
[amazon box="ASIN" button_detail="http://domain.com/test-XYZ/"]
