This may sound dumb... But what link do you use for an email?

This is your link no??? boss@tripleactionoutdoors.com

Highlight it, then click on the link tool in your toolbar and in the dropdown choose mailto: then put boss@tripleactionoutdoors.com infront of it.

e.g. mailto:boss@tripleactionoutdoors.com

Re: resizing Paypal links for emails

How can I put a long Pay Pal email link into a smaller hyperlink when sending it in an email. This is the link I want to make smaller:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick-subscriptions&business=info%40cmsnewzealand%2ecom& item_name=CMS%20website%20subscription&item_number =12&no_shipping=1&no_note=1&currency_code=NZD&lc=N Z&bn=PP%2dSubscriptionsBF&charset=UTF%2d8&a1=0%2e0 0&p1=7&t1=D&a2=130%2e00&p2=1&t2=D&a3=399%2e00&p3=3 0&t3=D&src=1&sra=1

I would like to put into a hyperlink such as this: CMS Subscription and Payment page

Obviously I can do it in BV but can't cut and paste this to an email (as far as I know). Have tried doing it with MS Word Hyperlink Edit Tool but link code too long. This is probably dead-simple for someone who hasn't been loking at a computer screen all day trying to figure it out.

Cheers,

Dood

Dood,

The first thing to do is to open a NEW post and NOT post your problem on someone elses post. That way someone will answer you.

and click on 'New Thread' But to be honest I don't think that this is really a BlueVoda or related issue, but someone will no doubt answer you.

Hi Dood... A new thread works better... than jumping in ... but to answer your question.. Go To Pay Pal... they offer email buy buttons if you have an account... Doug

Thanks Doug. A button won't work in an email as far as I know and have tried.

Cheers

Have posted new thread now that I know how.

Hey Doodle...I recommend you Go look around Pay Pal...
Email Payment Solutions... here's a diddy from there..
"To start accepting payments using Email Payments, set up one or more of the payment processing options. Then, select as many additional features as you need to help manage and grow your business."
Good Luck... Doug
