Adding Card Logos - best way

[mash]

We use Worldpay and Paypal on our site and I was looking into adding their logos, from their website I was surprised to see that you have to have the logo:

You must now display credit and debit card logos on your web site. This is a welcome step forward for WorldPay customers. Until recently you were only allowed to display card logos on your payment page; you must now display them within the body of your site.

see the rest at Worldpay Adding Card Logos.

What is the best way to add them? Via a link to Worldpay, using java or Card image.

Or you can download them and put them in the webpage.

So what is good practise, any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks Mash

Make sure images are downloaded and referenced locally. If you link to another site you never know if at some point the image will be removed or changed.

I see your point, also calling externally can slow or break the preview page in SD13, there was a block you could apply while offline as such, but can't remember where that was in the KB.

I used it in v09.

It's generally external scripts that can slow the software performance and require a blockif see here.

I was think of the Worldpay script re slowing down:

Using the Automatic Logo Display Script (Recommended)
To display the hyperlinked card logos that your WorldPay account can accept, type the following code into the relevant pages on your Web site:

<script language="JavaScript" src="https://secure.worldpay.com/wcc/logo?instId=XXXXX"></script>

Replacing the X's with your WorldPay Installation ID.

That is right, the blockif for offline preview for, was used for 'AddThis' button, that was a long time ago...
