Hi,
I have the same problem than kasirkiani:
“LinkShare plugin while importing coupons has failed to create some stores.
Please manually create stores and stores relations for listed below advertisers”
Somebody knows who to fix it?
Thanks
When I first installed it, it would’t work.
Then it suddenly started working. Now it won’t work again. My key is valid, but it imports 0 coupons. I created the stores manually- still will not work.
Help!
Worked great ! Will you be coming out with other affiliate network plugins?

I keep getting an error message when trying to install the plugin.
LinkShare coupons import failed. Error: 20 Access Denied Token ID Is Invalid or Not Approved for Coupon Feed
Followed the directions. Any ideas?
1. Check to make sure you are entering the “Your Web Services Token” not the “Security Token”.
2. If problem persists, I suggest you reset the Token from LS>WebServices and retry. You may have to wait an hour or so after you reset the key.
This plugin had a lot of potential. I should have paid attention to the recent negative reviews that it doesn’t pull coupons over more than half the time.
Mine has never worked no matter what I try. 🙁
@mike, we’ve contacted Rakuten to provide some information on why coupons are not being retrieved.
As soon as we get a reply we’ll update the plugin as necessary.
Our apologies for the inconvenience.

Hi 🙂
I have found some informations about the LS Japan here: http://www.linkshare.ne.jp/LS/function/api.html
I’ll be looking at it soon.
There are two Linkshare plugin available in the marketplace. One is called Linkshare publisher , another is called Linkshare coupon. Which one should I choose for the better service?
Any one can give me a hint?

Hi Meloniq,
Why does the link share plug in import coupons sometimes and sometimes it doesn’t?
Now it is not creating stores. I have created them manually. my API is valid but 0 coupons imported.
So disappointing.
Nobody is available to even help with issues like this.
linkshare has stopped creating stores and no one can get in touch with me to tell me how to solve the problem.
