Banner Ad Control (optional feature)
Use the fields presented to upload banner advertising images to your store. Each banner ad image is numbered from 1 to 15 and will be inserted onto the store's pages during customer shopping. You may only upload JPG, GIF, and PNG image types.

IMPORTANT: for banner ads to appear in your store, you must edit your skin pages and insert specifically named banner ad "markers" (see below) so that the store will know where to insert the banner ad images. If no banner ad markers are found on a store page, no banner ad images will be shown. If you do not have access to edit your skin page files, you may insert banner ad markers by typing them into any of the store administration fields that allow HTML to be entered.

BANNER AD MARKERS
When the store engine detects a banner ad marker (also numbered 1 to 15 on a store page), it will replace that marker with the corresponding banner ad image.

Example: If the store sees a marker called {{BANNER_AD1}}, then it will replace it with banner ad image #1. If it sees {{BANNER_AD12}}, then banner ad image #12 will be inserted.

Example: If the store sees a markers called {{BANNER_AD13}} but there is no corresponding banner ad image #13, then the marker is removed from the store page. No banner ad will be inserted.

Valid banner ad makers are numbered from 1 to 15:

{{BANNER_AD1}} {{BANNER_AD2}} {{BANNER_AD3}} {{BANNER_AD4}} {{BANNER_AD5}}
{{BANNER_AD6}} {{BANNER_AD7}} {{BANNER_AD8}} {{BANNER_AD9}} {{BANNER_AD10}} {{BANNER_AD11}} {{BANNER_AD12}} {{BANNER_AD13}} {{BANNER_AD14}} {{BANNER_AD15}}

BANNER AD HYPERLINK
If you specify a hyperlink (web address URL) for a banner ad, the store will make the banner ad image "clickable" when it is insert onto the store page. When the customer clicks the banner ad image, the store will take the customer to the hyperlink's address.

SAME WINDOW / NEW WINDOW OPTION
Use the Same Window/New Window drop down list to tell the store whether you want the customer to be taken to the hyperlink's address in the "same" browser window or open a "new" browser window.

RANDOM BANNER ADS
If you wish the store to randomly use one of your uploaded banner ads, then use the {{BANNER_RANDOM}} marker on the store page. When the store sees {{BANNER_RANDOM}}, it will randomly choose one of your uploaded banner ad images and insert it onto the store page in place or the marker.

NOTE: Multiple copies of banner markers may exist on the same store page.
