# Manage store URLs for shopper emails

## Overview

Use the **WS\_ORDER** parameter to control the website URL displayed in the email messages shoppers receive after they place an order.

By default, 2Checkout reports the URL set as **Homepage** in the **Account information** area.

Adding **WS\_ORDER** to the buy links for your products will cause the optional website address set by using the parameter to override and replace the **Homepage URL** in the email notifications sent to customers.

## Availability

All 2Checkout accounts.

## Usage

Add the WS\_ORDER parameter to a buy link, specifying the desired URL. For example, add **\&WS\_ORDER=** [**http://www.YourOnlineStoreURL.com**](http://www.youronlinestoreurl.com/) to the buy link below.

```
https://secure.2checkout.com/order/checkout.php?PRODS=1234567&QTY=1
```

The link becomes:

```
https://secure.2checkout.com/order/checkout.php?PRODS=1234567&QTY=1&WS_ORDER=http://www.YourOnlineStoreURL.com
```

This causes 2Checkout to send email messages to customers referencing [http://www.YourOnlineStoreURL.com](http://www.youronlinestoreurl.com/) rather than the Homepage URL.

Shoppers will receive:

* Online order confirmation [http://www.YourOnlineStoreURL.com](http://www.youronlinestoreurl.com/)
* Payment Receipt from [http://www.YourOnlineStoreURL.com](http://www.youronlinestoreurl.com/)

Keep in mind that the email notifications will be rephrased accordingly, such as:

* Thank you for your order placed on [http://www.YourOnlineStoreURL.com](http://www.youronlinestoreurl.com/) on 2012-08-14 12:16:40 (order reference number: 10001111).
* Your payment for your online order placed on [http://www.YourOnlineStoreURL.com](http://www.youronlinestoreurl.com/) on 2012-08-14 12:16:40 has been approved (order reference number: 10001111).
* Your online order placed on [http://www.YourOnlineStoreURL.com](http://www.youronlinestoreurl.com/) on August 14, 2012 and processed by 2Checkout as the authorized vendor of OnlineStoreName products has been successfully completed (order reference number: 10001111).

The **WS\_ORDER** parameter is supported on checkout/cart pages, overriding the vendor/template website settings. The parameter is not supported on product pages.
