Help Please, How do i cuctomize the header of Paypal checkout?

4 replies
hey fellow warrior,

I am setting up a payment for my product and I want to know if anyone knows how to edit the header so that it reflects the product image and not my email address.

Thanks in advance

    I add my own headers by adding a hidden value in the Paypal code.

    e.g. <input type="hidden" name="cpp_header_image" value="http://www.myheaderimage.com/image.jpg">

    The image size cannot exceed 750 x 90 and you must ensure that you have it stored on a secure server page i.e. https.

    Otherwise the visitor is prompted with a browser message indicating that some of the page is insecure which is a no-no when they're about to buy something.

    Hope this helps,

      Hi there Jonathan


      This is a very useful post. Thank you.

      I have a couple of quick questions, if you'd be so kind...

      1. Presumably the "name" field can be anything you like; it doesn't have to be "cpp_header_image", right?

      2. I usually encrypt my buttons. Can I add this to the encrypted code? If so, where should I add it (i.e. does it matter)?

      3. The "secure server page" you mention... could it not be a directory? As in: "https://www.mysite.com/directory/image1.jpg"?

      4. I recently bought a package of WhoIsGuards (I think) at Namecheap and they tossed in a Comodo ssl certificate (1 year). Is that what this is all about?

      Do I install (I don't know the correct verb!) the Comodo on a site and it then makes all pages on that domain load with "https://"?

      Thanks very much.

    Hi,

    In answer to your queries:-

    1) It does need to be called this according to Paypal's integration guide.
    2) I am not sure about encrypted buttons, I have not used them.
    3) Yes, as long as it is on a SSL server, i.e. https prefix.
    4) It sounds like it.
    5) I am not sure about this since I have never had my own SSL arrangements.
