The figure below shows how the survey question appears to the buyer on the PayPal Review
page.
NOTE: You can also configure this feature through the PayPal Profile page. For details, see
the
Merchant Setup and Administration Guide.
PayPal Page Style
You can change the overall appearance of the PayPal review page by defining a custom page
style or by customizing individual page style characteristics.
You define a custom page style in the PayPal Profile and then pass the resulting page style
name in the call to SetExpressCheckout. Typically you customize individual page style
characteristics in the PayPal Profile as well. However, you can also call
SetExpressCheckout and pass in individual page characteristics dynamically.
Custom Page Style
When your buyer logs into PayPal to check out, you can make the PayPal pages the buyer sees
appear to have a similar look and feel to those on your website. You can customize any of
these page characteristics and save the results as a Page Style Name: Up to three unique Page
Style Names can be defined in your account. You can specify the following items:
