    You will need to use HTML to add a buy now button. So you will need an email client that can send HTML message (any autoresponder service providers should do this). Also, if you are sending this email to many clients you will need to make sure that your customers email client supports HTML message otherwise they won’t be able to see it. This is similar to some companies sending HTML formatted email.

    Now, you will need to know what HTML to place that will give you the “Buy Now” button. This link should help you with that (see the “How to Use the ‘Buy Now’ or ‘Subscribe’ button on a Standalone HTML page” section):

    It seems to me there is no way for a product to have two button images (add to cart and buy now). So if I want to support both, I have to create duplicate prodcuts? Is there a better way to get people to buy products via email?

    You can specify the button image in the shortcode which allows you to dynamically use a different button image for each button even though it’s for the same product. Use the following shortcode:

    [wp_eStore_buy_now_custom_button id=1 button=http://example.com/myImages/buy.jpg]

    Remember, when you are sending the buy now button in the email all you are doing is sending some HTML code that makes the buy now button. Now one of the lines in this HTML code specifies the URL of the button image. All you have to do is specify the URL of a different button image that you want to use.
