Many South African women haven’t used PayPal before — and that’s okay! 😊 This step-by-step guide will help you register, set up your account, and make your payment safely and easily. We have current members who did this successfully.

Here is an easy-to-follow guide that shows you how to use PayPal to pay for your Ivytree Studio Membership in South Africa.

🛠️ Step-by-Step Guide:

✅ 1. Create a Free PayPal Account

Go to www.paypal.com/za
Click Sign Up and choose a Personal Account.

You'll need:

• A valid email address

• Your South African ID number

• A mobile number (for security purposes)

👉 Follow the PayPal onscreen prompts to finish setting up your account.

✅ 2. Link Your Bank Card

You can link:

• A debit card (like Capitec, FNB, Standard Bank, Nedbank, ABSA, etc.)

• Or a credit card (Visa or Mastercard)

💳 Add your card by clicking Wallet > Link a card.

📌 Tip: Capitec Global One debit cards work great for PayPal!
(Just make sure international payments are enabled — you can do this in your banking app or by calling your bank.)

✅ 3. Verify Your Card

PayPal will make a small charge (usually less than R20) to verify the card.
You’ll see a 4-digit code on your bank statement (SMS or banking app). Enter that code in PayPal to complete the verification.

🟢 Don’t worry — that small amount will be refunded after verification.

✅ 4. Make Your Payment to Ivytree Studio

Now that your PayPal account is ready:

• Go to the Ivytree Studio Membership checkout page. Click here for Club Creative and here

  for Artful Ways.
