PayPal in Nigeria

We all know that Nigerian PayPal account do not receive fund but can only send
fund, this makes it difficult for it to be used for online businesses aside for paying
for goods and services.
I have thought about this a lot so I decided to research on it and discovered a way
out and this is the use of South Africa PayPal Account which has the full PayPal
feature, which simply means that you can send and receive fund as well as do
other things a foreign PayPal can do.
So let just go straight to the point on how to open South Africa PayPal Account.
Go to https://www.paypal.com/sa/webapps/mpp/merchant, or copy and paste
this link address in your browser. When you do that this is what the page you will
see will look like the below image.
When you are on the page you have to choose business, because we are opening
a business account and which is the account that has the full PayPal feature we
want. Therefore click on Signup and then select business account on the next
page as shown in the image below and then click continue when that is done.
After that is done you will then be taken to the next page where you will be

the PayPal account and then enter and re-enter the desired password.
BUSINESS INFORMATION FIELD

On the business information area, where you are asked for legal names input your
original first name and last name there.
For the business name you can put any business name you wish to use there, it
does ’t atte hethe you registered it or not, in my case I just put supposed
business name AKEENTECH.
PHONE NUMBER FIELD

Where you are asked for telephone number, click the dropdown option from
South Africa and change it to Nigeria which is 234 and then you enter your mobile
number there omitting the very first zero that start number starts from.
For example instead of 07054, use 7054 and you then enter your address as it is
on your local bank statement and the next thing is to select the currency you
want the PayPal to use, in this case select USD and then tick I AGEE AND

You then click on continue and you will then be taken to account holder
information page where you will be required to provide an identification
document for verification.

ID Card. See image below:
Therefore next is to submit it by clicking submits as shown above. When you do
that you will get to a page as displayed below asking you to confirm your email
address to activate your account and then setup your payment.
You then log in to your email to receive the confirmation mail sent to your email.
When you click on the link sent to your email, just ignore every other thing and
locate the profile as shown by the arrow in the below image. Click on it and you
are going to see two messages notification
The two notifications will then ask you to confirm your email address likewise link
and confirm your credit card... See below.
Click on confirm email address and then you will be shown a page as is in the
image below where you are required to click on unconfirmed as circled in the
image. However if you have clicked the confirmation link in your email the email
notification would have disappeared left only with the card confirmation.
When you do that you will then be shown another page where you will be
required to click confirm email address show in blue and then a mail will be sent
to your email address which you have to click.
When you get the mail and click it you are going to be redirected to the login page
where you need to enter your password and login to the PayPal account to make
the verification successful. You will notice the notification will have changed from
2 to 1 as show in the image below.
NEXT CARD VERIFICATION
It means that the email is verified and the next is to link and confirm your debit or
credit card
Click on it and you will then be taken to a page to provide details as shown below
in the image below:
Enter your credit/debit card details and then click on continue. When you do just
that your bank account will be debited and depending on the bank you should get
the debit immediately (alert) or in 24 hours.
In my case I got it in less than hours and I was shown on the statement as seen
below. You will then notice the word CODE written as part of the statement, the
numbers before the word are the code you have to provide to verify your
account.
Therefore when you have this code go back to the page where you are asked to
provide it and supply the code and your account would then be verified. And you
can start receiving and sending money.
That’s all on how to open a South Africa PayPal Account that receive and send
fund in Nigeria. Thanks for Reading.
