Internal Page

The Stage opens all links only according to the rules described below. Directives indicating a link should open in a new window (like <a target="_blank" ... > or window.open(...)) are ignored, and there is no way to force a link to open within The Stage either.

See the section on Checkout.

Links to open.spotify.com are treated as Spotify URIs and open within the Spotify app, but, outside The Stage.

Links within the same domain and some links to *.spotify.com/ or *.byspotify.com/ open within The Stage.

If legacy back behavior is disabled, visiting a page will add it to the back stack.

Any other links open in the user's web browser.

Some links may be intercepted by third party apps if they are installed.

Please ensure the URLs on your site, as well as the URLs driving traffic to your site have special characters escaped properly and are generally compliant with RFC 2396. If not, the links may not work properly and their behavior is not defined. This has caused platform-specific bugs in the past.

Please note that the pipe ( | ) is not a valid URL character and "must be escaped in order to be properly represented within a URI." _{(RFC 2396, section 2.4.3)} We have seen these appear in production intentionally from tracking partners and unintentially from advertising partners' email servers mangling URLs or attempting to add their own tracking for some reason.
