How do I create a Subscription Button?

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.

You can use the Subscription Button to bill customers on a regular basis, charge membership fees or offer subscription services. We provide the HTML code and a link for you to copy and paste into your website’s code.

  1. Log in to PayPal.
