The response contains a link to the URL to initiate the Hosted Solution payment flow,
identified in the response as EMAILLINK:
EMAILLINK=https://www.paypal.com/...?hosted_button_id=HSS_...
The button variables control the presentation in the flow and the information that is provided
to the customer initially. Because the link is associated with a Hosted Solution token, the link
is live for approximately two hours after it is created.
If you initiate the Hosted Solution checkout from your review page, you can alternatively use
the HTML code in the response, identified as HOSTEDBUTTONID, to display a Pay Now
button, which you can programatically place in your review page:
