1. A system comprising:

a non-transitory memory; and

one or more hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to read instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the system to perform operations comprising;

receiving, from a user device, a selection of a graphical payment element for addition to a web page;

generating a preview of the web page that includes the graphical payment element that is configured to be moved relative to the preview of the web page and a color palette for selecting a background color of the graphical payment element on the web page;

receiving a selection of the background color of the graphical payment element, the selection corresponding to a user indication made using a selector element that selects the background color directly from the web page;

detecting user input received at the user device causing a movement of the graphical payment element relative to the preview of the web page to a first position on the preview of the web page; and

generating graphical payment element code that is configured to be provided with web page code for the web page such that the execution of the web page code and the graphical payment element code provides for display the web page that includes the graphical payment element at a second position relative to the web page that correspond to the first position on the preview of the web page.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a Universal Resource Locator (URL) of the web page from the user device;

determining a format for displaying the graphical payment element on the web page; and

generating the web page code in Hyper Text Mark Up (HTML) format for displaying the graphical payment element on the web page.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the graphical payment element is selected by dragging and dropping the graphical payment element from a first area in which selectable graphical elements are displayed to a second area in which selected graphical elements are displayed.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a selection of a type of format for the graphical payment element from the user device; and

format the graphical payment element for display on the web page based on the type of format selected.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the graphical payment element indicates a type of payment accepted at the web page.

6. A method comprising:

receiving, by system provider device from a user device, a selection of a graphical payment element for addition to a web page;

generating, by the system provider device, a preview of the web page that includes the graphical payment element that is configured to be moved relative to the preview of the web page and a color palette for selecting a background color of the graphical payment element on the web page;

receiving a selection of the background color of the graphical payment element, the selection corresponding to a user indication made using a selector element that selects the background color directly from the web page;

detecting user input received at the system provider device causing a movement of the graphical payment element relative to the preview of the web page to a first position on the preview of the web page; and

generating, by the system provider device, graphical payment element code that is configured to be provided with web page code for the web page such that the execution of the web page code and the graphical payment element code provides for display the web page that includes the graphical payment element at a second position relative to the web page that correspond to the first position on the preview of the web page.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

receiving a Universal Resource Locator (URL) of the web page from the user device;

8. The method of claim 6, wherein the graphical payment element is selected by dragging and dropping the graphical payment element from a first area in which selectable graphical elements are displayed to a second area in which selected graphical elements are displayed.

9. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

receiving a selection of a type of format for the graphical payment element from the user device; and

format the graphical payment element for display on the web page based on the type of format selected.

10. The method of claim 6, wherein the graphical payment element indicates a type of payment accepted at the web page.

11. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon machine-readable instructions executable to cause a machine to perform operations comprising:

receiving, from a user device, a selection of a graphical payment element for addition to a web page;

generating a preview of the web page that includes the graphical payment element that is configured to be moved relative to the preview of the web page and a color palette for selecting a background color of the graphical payment element on the web page;

receiving a selection of the background color of the graphical payment element, the selection corresponding to a user indication made using a selector element that selects the background color directly from the web page;

detecting user input received at the user device causing a movement of the graphical payment element relative to the preview of the web page to a first position on the preview of the web page; and

generating graphical payment element code that is configured to be provided with web page code for the web page such that the execution of the web page code and the graphical payment element code provides for display the web page that includes the graphical payment element at a second position relative to the web page that correspond to the first position on the preview of the web page.

12. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a Universal Resource Locator (URL) of the web page from the user device;
