PayPal Button Image

The image displayed on your PayPal button can be entered here. If left blank, no image will be displayed (the button will appear in the same style as the other buttons).
 
Your PayPal website has details of the buttons and links available. To save your bandwidth, it is recommended that you don't store the image on your web server however there is nothing stopping you from doing so if you wish.
