Adding Amazon Associate Product Widgets?

Does anybody currently have Amazon Associate product widgets on their website? I have an Amazon Associate account, and used the widgets on my previous website, but would really like to know an easily way to add them in AbleCommerce 7.0. (Amazon gives me an html code for each product).
Ideally I would like to add each one and put all of them on one page, maybe in grid format, as these products would be accessories to what I normally sell.
Any advice?
Thanks.

Just a guess- if its html code, put that in one of your description fields and make sure that field shows on your category pages.

Thanks. I inserted the html code using the add item, webpage, and got it to appear. What it does it create a link, you then have to click on this link to see the Amazon product widget on the next page. Then you can click on the item to order it on Amazon.com. It's still one more step than I would really like to have.
Ideally I would like to have a whole page of Amazon products that appear in grid format. The widgets for Amazon that I like to use have both text and pictures, so my guess is that I have to create a blank grid webpage template and cut and paste the html code for each product into each box?
Anybody have suggestions on other possible solutions?

Create one product called Amazon Products and put all the HTML links in a grid in the product description.
Or put all the links in a table in a single category description. Not sure if this will work because I don't know if Able will render an empty category. I think it will if you URL directly to the category itself.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.
