4. Ways Share Your Payment Portal Link

Add a Button to Your Website

Make it easy for payers to access your Payment Portal by adding a button directly to your website. It only takes a few steps—follow these instructions to get started:

1. ‍Access the HTML Code
   Locate and open the HTML file associated with the web page where you intend to place the payment link.
2. ‍Insert Your Custom URL
   Within the anchor tag's href attribute, substitute "customurl.com/slug" with the custom URL provided by Earnnest. This is the unique identifier associated with your account:‍

<a href="<https://customurl.com/slug>" target="_blank">Pay Earnest Money</a>
‍
   If you prefer an Earnnest-branded button, use the following HTML code instead, adding your custom URL accordingly:

<a href="<https://customurl.com/slug>" target="_blank" style="display:inline-block;padding:10px 20px;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;color:#ffffff;background-color:#30C97F;border-radius:100px;outline:none;">Pay Earnest Money</a>
‍
3. Save and Test
   Save the changes made to your HTML file. Open the file in a web browser to verify that clicking the button redirects users to the specified link.

This process shows a basic way to integrate your custom payment link in your website. Adjustments may be necessary based on your website's structure. If you use a content management system (CMS) like WordPress or a website builder, you may have a graphical interface for adding links to buttons without directly modifying the code.
