PayPal Banner ads for financing?

Hello:

I am using PayPal express as my only method of payment. Can someone tell me how I can place the financing ads that they have available on the checkout page, product page by the add to cart button, and even on the index page? I have no idea how to do this.

This is my site: http://www.petluxuryboutique.com.

Thanks again, in advance for your help.

Kind Regards,

Silver

Hi:

I posted this under the PayPal heading and received no response so I thought I would see if I could get some help here.

Re: PayPal Banner ads for financing?

PayPal has a widget on their site (when you're logged into your merchant account there) that will generate the Bill Me Later banner HTML code (specific to you) that you can copy and paste into your Banner Manager or into your template pages.
Their support staff will be happy to help you with whatever questions you have about the topic.

Dr. Byte:

Thank you. I have solved that situation, thanks to you. Now I have another situation. I would like to change the PayPal logo on my checkout page but am having a difficult time getting answers from PayPal. I want to make the image larger which I can find on their website but I don't know where to go to find it to change it on my ZenCart. This is a screenshot of the way it is now:

I am using v1.51 and my site is: https://www.petluxuryboutique.com.

Thank you,

Silver

Re: PayPal Banner ads for financing?

That's your "shopping_cart" page, not your "checkout" page.
And judging from the location where it's showing on the page, it's probably specified in your define_shopping_cart.php file, which can be altered using FTP or using the Define Pages editor in your admin.

Re: PayPal Banner ads for financing?

Dr. Byte:

The only thing that I see in the define pages editor is "checkout success." I don't see anything else to do with the shopping cart in defines. Otherwise, how do I get to the "define_shopping_cart.php file" and I will do it in notepad++ What is the path?

Thanks,

Silver

Re: PayPal Banner ads for financing?

Okay, maybe it's in your shopping_cart.php language file.
Or maybe you put it directly in your tpl_shopping_cart_default.php template file.
I couldn't know: only you have access to your site's files and have the knowledge about what you've done to them.

You could easily find out by visiting that page with your browser, right-clicking the image and finding out the actual image filename, and then using the Developers Toolkit to search for that filename in your php files. This is a skill you can use a thousand ways in customizing and refining your site.

Dr. Byte:

I had to look it up in "All Files" but I found it. You just taught me how to fish! Now I can use this technique over and over.

Thank you,

Re: PayPal Banner ads for financing?

This is how I added the banner.

1 logged into Paypal and got the banner code.
2 went to TOOLS/Banner manager.
3 click new Banner.
4 under banner title I put BML and pasted the code in the HTML Text window.
5. went to TOOLS/Layout Boxes and turned on sideboxes/banner_box_all.php
6. if you want it to appear at the bottom then enter a number like 5 in the Left/Right Column Sort Order box.

When you refresh your page a column that says Sponsors will appear above the the banner.
