    Default URL alias

    Is there any way (8.0) to have an alternate URL or alias to a single product page?

    I would like to setup a page to allow customers to pay their invoices from non-ASPDNSF purchases, so, the URL could be:

    www.myshop.com/accounting.aspx
    instead of
    www.myshop.com/p-1682-Pay-an-invoice.aspx

    on a side note, what setup are you using to allow customers to pay non site purchases? I''m looking for something like that.

    I'm guessing you want something, so that customers can easily type it in?
    How about setting IIS to redirect www.myshop.com/accounting to the actual page you're using - that way, it's even easier for them to type.
    An alternative if you don't have access to IIS would be to create an actual folder called accounting & have a default.aspx within it that does the redirect.

    HOW I'M TRYING TO DO THIS:
    What I'm looking at is a product page that has:
    > *Requires Text Field (*) Yes
    > Field Prompt: "Please enter invoice number(s) and any notes"
    > Max Length: 255
    >(Variant *Customer Enters Price (*) Yes
    > Customer Enters Price Prompt: "Payment Amount:"



    OPTION: URLMAPPING in web.config file...
    Can I set a URL mapping in the web.config file to do what I'm looking for?
    <urlMappings enabled="true">
    <add url="~/Payments.aspx" mappedUrl="~/P-1800 Pay Online.aspx" />
    </urlMappings>

    Default another thought...

    I think I can use COLOR or SIZE option promts if I wanted to add other selections, like "Place a deposit" or "Pay an Invoice"... lots of flexibility
