How do I accept payments with PayPal?

Please note: Product and feature availability may differ by market. In some countries, certain PayPal services may be available only for cross-border transactions, and receiving money with PayPal requires linking your account to a licensed local partner. Refer to What is the third-party partner service? for more information.

If you are a new customer in Nigeria please be sure to link to your partner bank to start receiving money.

With PayPal, you receive money when someone sends a payment to your email address or mobile number. Once that happens, we'll send you a message letting you know that you have money available.
