How to Get PayPal Icons
PayPal reports that you can sell more products and services by using its service to reach more than 100 million potential customers around the world. One way to tap this pool of potential buyers is to bring them to your website, where you provide useful goods and services. If you use one of PayPal's payment services, consider adding authentic PayPal icons to your webpages. You don't have to create the icons yourself; PayPal gives them away for free.

Consider your design goals when choosing a PayPal icon. You may find that larger icons, such as those with dimensions of 180 x 113 pixels, work better on some areas of your webpage, while smaller ones might be better choices elsewhere.
