- If the product has been set up as a Referral product, this button will direct users to a link of your choice.

The heading is a headline that inspires action and explains what the user can do. For example: Register for Free, Free 30 day trial, Order your _________ now.
The description should provide more information about the product or service and what users can expect when they click on the button. You might include key value propositions and incentives.
