- Desktop PayPal Button: Upload a language-dependent PayPal button to display on the Basket and Checkout pages on the Desktop version of the site. Note that this image should be in .gif format.

Placement of buttons on checkout pages
By default, the PayPal button appears above the Amazon Pay button on the Basket.aspx or MobileBasket.aspx page, however, you can control the order in which the buttons appear using the following CSS classes in the Website CSS Stylesheet:
- .amazon-paypal-container
- .amazon-paypal-container .paypal-basket
- .amazon-paypal-container .paypal-login
- .amazon-paypal-container .amazon-container
- .amazon-paypal-container .paypal-container
- .amazon-paypal-container .amazon-basket, .amazon-paypal-container .amazon-login
When a customer is on the Basket.aspx or MobileBasket.aspx page and clicks the button to proceed to the next stage of the checkout, the text that they see for the PayPal box is configurable using the following Small Translations:
- 1005: This is the title PayPal.
- 1243: The default English translation is: You can buy from us using your PayPal account. Login here and confirm your payment details with PayPal before returning to us.
