To create text links from store pages to other store pages or to other sites, merchants must mark up the text to be linked using HTML. Using Store Editor, you can include these links within the page text on your store's home page, as well as on product and section pages.
How do I create text links using HTML?
To create a link to a page within your site, you need to use an <a> tag, eg: <a href="url">link text</a>.
Add your page name (including the .html extension) to the first part of the tag, and include the words you want to link between the tags. In the example below, we link the sentence This is my home page to a page called index.html.
<a href="https://mystore.com/index.html">This is my home page.</a>
If you'd like to link to a page located within a subdirectory (folder), just include the subdirectory with the page name. (The series of subdirectories before the page name is called the page's path.) In the example below, we link our sentence to a page called index.html that is stored in a subdirectory called subdirectory1.
<a href="https://mystore.com/subdirectory1/index.html">This is my home page.</a>
If you'd like to link to a page that's outside of your own site, you will need to include the entire web address of the page. In the example below, we link our sentence to Turbify's home page.
<a href="https://www.turbify.com/">This is the Turbify home page.</a>
By default, clicked links open in the same window as it was clicked. To have the link open in a new window or tab, add the target attribute to the URL string:
<a href="https://www.turbify.com/" target="blank">This is the Turbify home page.</a>
Note: When linking to a page outside of your site, you must include http:// or https:// prefix as part of the link. Not including the prefix will cause your link to fail.
