You can't use a link to a simple checkout item, it have to be a form post.

Ok thanks, do you think a page redirect would work?

Let me clarify, what if I send them to a page that redirects to the form, is this possible?

<html>
<body>
<form name="PrePage" method = "post" action = "https://scotest.authorize.net/payment/CatalogPayment.aspx"> <input type = "hidden" name = "LinkId" value ="getYourOwn" /> <input type = "submit" value = "Buy Now" /> </form> 
</body>
</html>

for simple checkout, all you need is a web page, and copy and paste the form post code.

I am using Wordpress. Are you famailar with that framework. The only flexibility I have is to specify a customlink. The client wants to link from the navigation to the simplecheckout page.

I am trying to keep from creating a static button in the navigation menu.

This is the site. http://www.raisingchampions.com/

This is the page they want to linkto https://simplecheckout.authorize.net/payment/CatalogPayment.aspx

and we use this form to get there

they want the navigation link to take them straight to a page to make adonation not a two step process.

Is it possible to embed this page on the site?

Not possible, it need to get the $ amount on the first page to get to the second(CC entry screen).

Hello - if possible could you explain the why behind this process? I need my members to click the button and pay an invoice - the link could be redirected to autorized.net - please provide some details - I want to know the why of this matter. Thanks & Regards
