Pay first using PayPal then register

[supersonictt]

I am building a website where members can subscribe for an annual fee. What I want is that the person pays first using PayPal and then her/she is redirected to a page inside my website where he can use the sign up form. If I use the PayPal button and for the success page I redirect that person to the sign up page, he can give the url to others so they can register without paying. How can I prevent that?

Well, actually it doesn't work as you are describing.

The users are allowed to register, but the account is set to "Pending".
After registration, they are redirected to the "success" page where there is the PayPal button.
They proceed to payment and upon payment completion the account is automatically activated.

You will need to use the PayPal IPN for this purpose and a script that supports this, for the automatic activation of the account.

Thanks for replying.
So, lets say i have the signup page (signup.php), how can I make the account to be "Pending"?
Could you please give me a short description on the whole process? If it is too long then it's ok forget about it

I'm afraid that the WB built in login system doesn't support these features.

There are free and paid scripts on the net that do exactly what you ask for. Just Google it .

You need advanced scripts for this.
