Please note that for credit compliance purposes, you shouldn’t
use banner ads created for websites in your emails or on your
eBay Store; conversely, you shouldn’t use banner ads created
for eBay or emails on your website. PayPal Credit takes every
precaution to make sure that the banner ads on your site meet
credit regulatory requirements. Please do not modify or alter the
banner images or code.

Step 1: Select your ad size
Our banner ads are available in a number of sizes. Place your
mouse over the pixel dimensions that are the size and shape
of the banner you would like to use. You’ll be able to preview
how the banner ads look, then click on the one that will work
best for your website. If the banner ad you picked doesn’t fit in
your desired location, you can always go back and choose a
different one.

Step 2: Copy secure banner code
Once you select a banner ad size you will see the code
displayed on the next page of the Ad Builder. Highlight all the
code by clicking the blue “Select All” button.
Next, copy the highlighted content by going to “Edit” in the
menu bar and selecting “Copy”. Make sure you have selected
and copied all the code, to ensure your banners function
and look correct. It is also important not to modify or alter
the banner images or code to ensure they meet regulatory
requirements.
You will need to go through this process for each banner ad
size you would like to use.

Step 3: Paste the code
If you use a browser-based web design editor:
Open a new browser window or tab and log in to the admin
page of your website. Navigate to the page on your site that you
would like to place the banner. Paste what you just copied within
the HTML where you want the banner to appear on your web
page by going to “Edit” in the menu bar and selecting “Paste”.
Again, it is very important not to modify or alter the banner code
to ensure it meets regulatory requirements.
Save the changes you made and go to your live site to make
sure the banner appears the way you want it to (banners may
not show in preview mode).
If you use a web design application:
Open your site in your web design application and navigate to
the page that you would like to place the banner. Paste what
you just copied within the HTML where you want the banner
to appear on your web page by going to “Edit” in the menu
bar and selecting “Paste”. Again, it is very important not to
modify or alter the banner code to ensure it meets regulatory
requirements.
Make sure you save the changes to the page and upload it to
your server, overwriting the existing page that does not contain
the banner code.

ad to appear. For different banner sizes on additional pages,
be sure to get new code for the each banner.

Step 4: Confirm your banner ad placement(s)
Go to your live website to view your banner ads. This may
require refreshing the page and clearing the cookies and cache.
It can take up to 30 minutes for your banners to activate.
Thank you for placing a web banner ad on your site. If you need
another size, create another banner ad now, by returning to
step one.
If you aren’t seeing your banner ads on your website here are a
few troubleshooting tips to try:
• Make sure you pasted all the code into your website.
• Confirm that you placed the code into the location on your
site where you want the banner to display.
• Check that you didn’t cut any existing code on your
website off with the new code.
• If you needed to upload pages to your server, make sure
the updated pages are the ones on your server.
• If you are viewing your page in preview mode, save your
changes and go to your live site. Banners may not show
in preview mode.
