I knew how to  add a banner and logo to the checkout page until I upgrade my account to bussiness and now I cannot find any options to do that. I am not a developer, but the options I had previously were quite straightforward. Anybody knows what I can do? thanks.

Not really sure how you included a business graphic logo before as only Business Accounts have that feature.  A Premier Account will only display your email address.

 

Anyway, here's a few tips:

 

Displaying your business and/or logo graphic on the PayPal Screens.

 


* Your PayPal Account must be a "Business Account".
* The maximum size for your business and/or logo graphic is 750 pixels wide by 90 pixels high.
* The business and/or logo graphic format can be a gif, jpg or png.
* The business and/or logo graphic should be stored on a secure or https server.

Note, if your business and/or logo graphic is not stored on a secure server, each time the PayPal screen is displayed, a security message will say that this page contains both secure and nonsecure items, do you want to display the nonsecure items?   This may scare of some of your customers.

If you don't have access to a secure server, there are 3rd party services that can do this for you.   For example, check out this site, "www.sslpic.com", the service is free and works well.

If you want to keep it simple, you can use the "cpp_header_image" variable in your button HTML code.   The line of code would look similar to the example below.   Note, you would need to include this line of code with each item and any View Cart Buttons you have.

Code:

<input type="hidden" name="cpp_header_image" value="https://www.yourwebsite.com/yourlogo.gif">

 


If you are using "hosting" item button code you can use the "cpp_header_image" variable in your button HTML code.

How to modify button code using the "Advanced Variables" in Step 3.
Note the text box near the bottom of the page.   There you can insert extra variables.
For example, to insert the "cpp_header_image" variable just enter:

cpp_header_image=https://www.yourwebsite.com/yourlogo.jpg

There's no HTML extras, just the name of the variable, an equal sign and the value.

 


If you are using text type button links, then you need to include the following in your text link code:

&cpp_header_image=https://www.yourwebsite.com/yourlogo.jpg


You can also setup custom pages through your PayPal Account.   To learn more about how to setup your custom pages, download a copy of PayPal's Payments Standard Integration Guide and PayPal's Merchant Setup and Administration Guide:

Merchant Setup Guide:

https://www.paypalobjects.com/webstatic/en_US/developer/docs/pdf/pp_merchantsetupadministrationguide...

 


Should you have everything setup properly and your business and/or logo graphic is not displaying try deleting your web browser's cookies, temp files and history.   When ever you make changes to HTML Button Code and want to test your new code, you should delete your web browser's cookies, temp files and history, then close your browser, reopen and then test.   If you don't delete the cookies, temp files and history before you test to see the new email address or business graphic logo on the PayPal Screens, you will most likely see the old information.

I am also looking for the place where I customized our nonprofit's checkout page with our logo (3 years ago). Your answer has a lot of information but does not address that.

 

I am interested in changing the hosting of the logo to the secure site because we get complaints about the browser warnings.

And I have found the answer:

 

  1. Log in to your PayPal account.
  2. Click Profile near the top of the page.
  3. Click My selling tools.
  4. Under "Selling online," click Update next to "Custom payment pages."
  5. Choose the Page Style you would like to edit.*
  6. Click Change and enter your new information.
  7. Click Preview to preview your page style.
  8. Click Save to save the edits to your customized page style.

*Under Page Styles, I clicked "Learn more", and it talks about the logo image and header image.
