When the Internet user clicks on a paid-link, the iCents Payment Window opens and allows him to confirm or cancel the payment. The Payment Window has a history record that can be turned on, turned off or deleted by the Internet user.
The description attribute indicates the paid-link description that will be logged in the history record of the iCents Payment Window, as shown below:
The paid-link description is not a mandatory attribute, but it is advisable that you include it as it can be very useful for Internet users who want to check the payments they made. This helps preventing the Internet user from asking questions about payments when they forget something.
Try to use clear and short descriptions. Avoid including unnecessary details and remember that the price and the URL are already included in the history record anyway. Besides, if the URL itself properly describes the link already, there is no need to also include a description.
The description attribute can be defined in the following way:
<a href="photo012.jpg" price="0.01 USD" description="Photo of Sky and Stars">
The description attribute cannot have more than 100 characters, and can only be made of:
For example, Photo of Sky and Stars is a valid description, while Photo of Sky & Stars is invalid.
If you want the paid-link with an invalid description to inform an error when the mouse hovers above it, include the strict parameter in the iCents initialization the page.
In this case, the error displayed will be "description too big or contains invalid character".
