Customising Your PayPal Payment Page

HTML Variables for Payment Page Look and Feel

template

The layout template that will be used for your payment page. You can override

the layout template in your account profile settings by passing one of the

following values at transaction time:

NOTE: For Layout templates A, B and C, when a buyer views the payment

page from a supported mobile browser, PayPal automatically displays a

mobile-optimized payment flow instead of the layout template. The

mobile-optimized payment pages cannot be customized and will look

the same for layouts A, B and C.

 templateA - Sets the payment page template to layout template A.

 templateB - Sets the payment page template to layout template B.

 templateC - Sets the payment page template to layout template C.

 templateD - Sets the payment page template to the MiniLayout (iFrame

integration) template. When the payment page is viewed from a mobile

browser, PayPal will not display a mobile-optimized flow. The reason is

that if PayPal automatically displayed a mobile optimized embedded

template within a merchant web page that may not be mobile optimized,

this can create unexpected and undesirable results. To display the mobile

optmized payment flow, pass either mobile or mobile-iframe in the

template HTML variable at transaction time.

NOTE: If using template A, B, or C, no action is required to display mobile-

optimized payment pages; PayPal auto-detects if the buyer is on a

mobile browser and automatically displays a mobile-optimized flow.

However, for templateD, which is also known as MiniLayout or the

iFrame integration, to display the mobile optimized payment flow, you

must pass either mobile or mobile-iframe at transaction time.

 mobile - Displays the mobile-optimized payment flow. Pass this value if

you are using templateD, which is also known as MiniLayout or the

iFrame integration, and you would like to display the mobile optimized

flow without an iFrame.

 mobile-iframe - Displays a mobile-optimized page with an iframe Pass

this value if you are using templateD, which is also known as

MiniLayout or the iFrame integration, and you would like to display the

mobile optimized flow with an iFrame.
