Now, let’s say we will send users directly from the home page to the yearly pricing table section on the pricing page.

Let’s add a button widget on the homepage, and in the Link field, we will add the page URL followed by the id with # tag like this.

Button link

Note: Because the page is in the same domain, we are using a relative path (/pricing/), but if you are linking from a different domain, you have to use the full URL (https://www.domainname.com/pricing/).

Now, if someone clicks on that button from the homepage, they will directly go to the yearly pricing table section on the pricing page with the toggle on for the yearly pricing.
