Market context
Africa's largest tech market — Nigerian developers, designers, and SaaS founders rely on PayPal to invoice international clients in USD.

Why most billing platforms can't help

Nigeria has restricted PayPal access — Nigerian sellers can hold receive-only accounts but the broader PayPal feature set is limited. Most modern billing tools haven't built support for these account types, so checkouts fail entirely.

How PayRequest accepts PayPal where others won't

Works with any PayPal Business account

Connect your existing PayPal account in two clicks. PayRequest detects your country automatically and uses the right PayPal checkout flow for your region — no manual setup, no integration code.

Standard PayPal checkout your customers already trust

When buyers click 'Pay with PayPal' on your invoice or payment link, they're taken to PayPal's official checkout page. Full PayPal branding, login flow, and saved payment methods — exactly what buyers expect.

Same PayPal fees, same payouts, same dashboard

Funds land in your PayPal Business account exactly as they would on paypal.com. Refunds, disputes, and reporting all live in your familiar PayPal dashboard — nothing changes about how you run your finances.

What this means for your PayPal account

Where your Nigerian PayPal Business account is enabled to receive international payments, PayRequest uses PayPal's standard checkout flow. Customers pay through PayPal's official page; you receive USD funds and withdraw via the official PayPal Nigeria channels.

Local payment methods to pair with PayPal

PayPal alone rarely covers a whole market. PayRequest lets you offer local payment options alongside PayPal — buyers pick whichever suits them best.

All of these are available through PayRequest's payment pages. Connect any combination on a single plan — no extra integration work.

Frequently asked questions

Will my buyers see PayPal's branding at checkout?

Yes. Buyers complete payment on PayPal's official checkout page — full PayPal branding, login, and trust badges. After approval they return to your invoice or payment confirmation.

Do I need a different PayPal account?

No. Your existing PayPal Business account works as-is. PayRequest connects through PayPal's official partner connection — the same way any approved billing tool connects.

What does it cost?

PayRequest is €20/month for unlimited invoicing, payment links, and PayPal connections. PayPal's own transaction fees still apply on each payment, exactly as they would on paypal.com.

What about refunds and disputes?

Refunds work from your PayRequest dashboard or your PayPal account — both push the refund through PayPal's standard system. Disputes appear in your PayPal Resolution Center as usual, with no extra steps.

Will conversion rates be lower than inline PayPal buttons?

In our experience, no. Buyers leave your invoice page briefly to approve on PayPal, then return. Most PayPal users prefer the full-page checkout because it shows their wallet balance and saved payment methods.
