4. Keep or modify your page style preferences:
– Page Style Name (required)
Enter a name up to 30 characters in length. The name can contain letters, numbers, and
the underscore mark - but no other symbols or spaces. The Page Style Name will be used
to refer to the page style within your PayPal account and in the HTML code for your
PayPal Website Payment buttons.
– Header Image URL (optional)
Enter the URL for an image that is a maximum size of 750 pixels wide by 90 pixels high;
larger images will be cut to this size. The image must be in a valid graphics format such
as .gif, .jpg, .png, or .swf. The image will appear at the top left of the payment page.
NOTE: PayPal recommends that you enter an image URL only if the image is stored on a
secure (https) server. Otherwise, your customer's Web browser will display a message
that the payment page contains insecure items.
– Header Background Color (optional)
Enter the background color for the header using HTML hex code. The color code must
be six digits long and should not contain the # symbol. If the Header Image URL is
present, then the header will be a 750 pixel wide by 90 pixel high space at the top of the
payment page. If the Header Image URL is not present, the header height will be reduced
to 45 pixels.
– Header Border Color (optional)
Enter the border color for the header using HTML hex code. The color code must be six
digits long and should not contain the # symbol. The header border is a 2 pixel perimeter
around the header space.
– Background Color (optional)
Enter the background color for the payment page using HTML hex code. The color code
must be six digits long and should not contain the # symbol.
