Here's a bit of extra info for your readers. Lets say you don't want to change your primary page style. Maybe you use that for your Ebay account but want to have a seperate header for your website. You can add this code to your payment/subscription button and it will load the relevant page style for you: Just change the xxxxxxx for the name of your page style. Hope this helps :) Richard Hi Dan, great article mate. Here’s a bit of extra info for your readers. Lets say you don’t want to change your primary page style.

My checkout pages now only have the small text link option available - so it's not just you :-) "Don't have a PayPal account? Use your credit card or bank account (where available). Continue" I think PayPal changed that layout some time ago, maybe they want to encourage people to pay with PayPal rather than a card.

“Don’t have a PayPal account?
Use your credit card or bank account (where available). Continue”

Thanks for this article! However, on your example page, you have a format below that says "Choose how to check out" and the 2 methods are very obvious. I have been trying to figure out if there is a way to get that configuration as well, or if that is just an older template that they changed? My site loads a paypal page from the button that has the Paypal login box dominating the page with a very tiny text link that says, "don't have a paypal account?" for those that want to use credit cards. The link is very easy to miss and I do get visitors who think they MUST use paypal since the credit card choice is so inconspicuous. Is this their new layout or is there some way I can configure the page to look as your example shows? I appreciate the post! Thanks Chris Hi there,

Do you want to drop me an email and I'll see what I can do - dan *******at******* d9hosting.co.uk Hi,

I have spent ALL DAY on the phone to various tech support people at Paypal and 1&1.com trying to get my logo onto the paypal checkout page. HOURS It always takes me at least 10 minutes to get the person on the other end to understand what my problem is, I get transfered all over the place and no one can help in the end. And then (randomly) I found you. Thank G So any who, the basic 1and1 eShop account I have doesn't allow me direct access to my shared server space. Total Rubbish! Even though I have 2Gig capacity and am only using 7MG, the automaton on the other end of the phone could only read from her script and told me that there's no way they can help me get this logo briefly onto a secure server so that I can get it onto the paypal server which (according to the paypal rep) it will then live and wont be linked to the server it came from. Now what? I'm trapped in a web indifference, inaccurate information, and an intolerable indifference to customer needs. Can I "borrow" server space? I'm not a techy, I don't write code, I'm just a lady trying to build a nice webstore OMG Dan.
