How to add a link to the Customer Email

I've tried to find this in the Forum, the documentation, I've looked at Custom Fields. This is a very simple issue I think.

I simply need to provide a different link per product (they are books) in the email which the users get when purchase is confirmed.

This is because they will go to this link, add their Hikaserial code and download the book.

So it's not a different link for every purchase, just one per book. i.e.

Book 1 - link = www.book1link.com
Book 2 - link = www.book2link.com
...etc

Thanks.

Hello,

The link to your products files should already be displayed through "Order status notification" email sent to your customers when your order status is "confirmed".

Note that you can also enable the displaying of the "Download area" which will be displayed through your customer space using the "Enable customer download area" through the page "Hikashop->System->Configuration->Display".

Best regards,
Mohamed Thelji.

Sorry Mohamed I didn't explain very well.

I simply need to add an external URL to the customer emails.

One external (not Hikashop) link per book.

The books are hosted with a remote service in the UK, not on our website. SO we have to supply the correct link to click to the customer.

Is it possible to add URLs to be shown in the customer emails ?

Thanks,
Paul

Hi Nicolas I followed your advice and:

* Set up Custom Field of type Link.
* Set to Front-end 'No'
* Added a link to the 'Link' Custom Field in the Variant of my product.
* Purchased the product and changed order status to Confirmed.

Confirmation email does not show the link.

Please see the attached screenshots.

Is it perhaps because this is the 'Printable Download' Variant of my product ?

Thanks again for your help.

Hi Nicolas, you're right, I'm using HS 2.6.0 on this site, I will install 3.4.0 instead.

I guess I should update Hikaserial too, to 2.1.1 As it is now on 1.10.3 ?
