Custom Payment Pages
Overriding Page Style Settings

80 May, 2005 Merchant User Manual and Integration Guide
To change the page style for a button you have already created, you can modify the button's
HTML code, replacing the value of the page_style variable with the Page Style Name of the
style you wish to apply. The next time the button is clicked, its payment pages will appear in
the new style.
When passed through at a transaction-level, Custom Payment Page variables are used to
customize the payment pages and override any page styles set in profile settings or
page_settings. Customization variables are applied in the following order:
