This project is abandoned!!! But you are free to browse around -- I still think it was a useful excersise in building url shorteners.
Please use at your own risk, Amazon is pretty sketchy about this thing being legal or not. (and everyone is scared of Amazon closing their accounts for any minor issue... so you probably should not use it)
aCart.to is not a regular amazon shortener. It can produce very short links and include associate tag. But what separates aCart.to apart from the rest are other features:
- Bundles multiple products with a single link
- After pressing a link, user will be redirected to checkout page with products prefilled
- Once at checkout, user can remove all or some items before making a purchase
Make sure to have a ruby version manager of your choosing ready to install tehse commands
gem install bundler
bundle instal
