HOW TO: Add a Custom Banner to PayPal Checkout

Steve Mount · 10-12-2009, 07:12 PM

Warriors,

I put together a quick video tutorial that will show you how to create a custom PayPal banner that will display each time someone clicks on your purchase link and is taken to the PayPal payment screen.

Example:

My banner is not extremely fancy, but the reason I made it was to help people get to their download. A lot of times my customers don't seem to realize that they need to click on "return to merchant" to access their download after payment, so the banner has really helped eliminate all of those support emails asking me where their download was... lol

Anyways, you can find the video at the following link:

Enjoy and let me know if this helps!

Just had another warrior PM and tell me about the auto-return feature in PayPal....

That only works if you're selling one product from that PayPal account because you have to put in the return address. Since I like many marketers use the same PayPal account for multiple products, this would not work.

Hope this helps!

This is a nice video, but I can't seem to get my banner to work lol. It just shows up as broken. not sure what the deal is

Thanks a lot for that Steve!
I rarely see paypal payment pages with custom headers, so I'm sure this will be useful many merchants.
I also like that you managed to explain it in under 2 minutes, as I hate looong video's that explains something simple

Since Paypal is recommending to store your image on a secure server (https) it is easy to do it with e-junkie: they a have a free service exactly for this.
