There are lots of reasons you may wish to add a link to your Card or Flyer - you could be hosting a virtual event with a virtual location, or you may be selling tickets on a venue's website instead of collecting RSVPs through Paperless Post. Perhaps you're hoping to link to a featured guest's social media page. Our toolset offers many options for you to provide links offsite, depending on whether you are designing a V1 Card, V2 Card, or Flyer.
Am I designing a Legacy (V1) Card, V2 Card, or Flyer?
Flyers have a different layout from cards — if the invitation is split into two distinct sections with editable text on the left and an animated image on the right, it is a Flyer.
If you are designing a Card, look for the V2 icon in the lower left corner of your page, as seen here. If you don't see V2, you can refer to our Legacy Card Pricing FAQ here.
