Adding external html links to an abandoned cart email

Technical Q&A
1

Hello, I wonder if anyone can help.

I want to point out to customers who have abandoned their checkouts that they can buy the products on amazon and eBay also (thinking that maybe if they have existing accounts there it’ll be easier for them - no having to enter their details)

So i went to customise the email and inserted this code - basically just adding normal hyperlinks

Hi {{ billing_address.first_name }}, you added a toy to your shopping cart but haven’t bought it yet. You can buy it now while it’s still available, AND you can have a discount to persuade you. Just use the code CATFUN when you checkout for 10% off.
You can also buy these toys on <a href=“Amazon.co.uk>Amazon or <a href=“Items for sale by cat-mats | eBay>eBay if that makes it easier.

The email displays correctly - as in the text is correct and the eBay and amazon links are blue like normal links - but they’re unclickable.

Am I doing something wrong or is there a system for adding links I’m not aware of.

Cheers

Rob

The quotes around the links are smart quotes like “ (so the curly kind) vs the straight ones like ". Change those to the standard ones and see if that helps.

Thanks very much for the advice - I now assume that I’m not the first html idiot you’ve helped! :slightly_smiling_face:

It’s an easy thing to miss and I’d be guilty of doing it myself. You’ll know what to look for next time and really that’s how most of us learn. That’s a win!
