Procedure
SETUP:
Once your PayPal account is configured to handle the promotion, set the PayPal.Promo.Enabled AppConfig to true, and enter the promo code (obtained from PayPal) in PayPal.Promo.Codes. Multiple codes can be entered, in a comma delimited list.
A banner ad will be displayed on qualifying product pages using the product.VariantsInRightBar.xml.config or product.SimpleProduct.xml.config XML packages. The ad displayed is controlled by the PayPal.Promo.BannerURL AppConfig (the images can be obtained from PayPal).
The Express Checkout button displayed when the shopping cart qualifies for the promotion (falls between the PayPal.Promo.CartMinimum and PayPal.Promo.CartMaximum AppConfigs) can be different from the button displayed for non-qualifying carts. The button for qualifying carts is set in the PayPal.Promo.ButtonImageURL AppConfig.
