boo-box, which already works with Amazon.com for new and used products and eBay for auction offers, is glad to announce its integration with Shopping.com. This will allow you to place product offers with price comparison inside your content.

The difference between Shooping.com Partner Program and the Amazon/eBay affiliate market programs is that Shopping.com pays when you generate traffic for an e-commerce website, while Amazon and eBay pay you when the product you recommended is sold.

It is simple to do it. First you should apply for Shopping.com Partner Program and wait until they accept your subscription; then choose Shopping.com on our add-on; put your user ID and you are ready to start recommending products with price comparison from Shooping.com.

For Brazilian users we have two major e-commerce stores: Americanas.com and Submarino. Check-out our Portuguese blog for more info.

Have fun with your boo-box ;)
