HTML code in e-mails

[Tricia]

I am trying to get this survey link button in an e-mail template to send to all my customers but this is the first time and I don't understand some of this. It says

Insert the following HTML into the code for your email. Paste the HTML according to where you would like the button to display within your email.

I don't understand what it means when it says (Insert the following HTML into the code for your email.) How do I do this?

Thank you so much.

It would probably be in the code where you want the button that makes the e-mail message .

Sorry but that didn't help me at all.
I want to send this button to all my customers that order from my site.
Shopping.com gave me this info. But I don't even know where to begin. I know my merchant id and how to add it and the image link but the rest is beyond me.
#2 is where I am stuck. (into "what" code?)

Can you provide the HTML code, please.

It is all in the post. All that is missing is my Merchant# and the Image url. both that is asks to be inserted between the [ ].
Are you asking for these?
