How to Create an Account

Create or sign in to an account before subscribing so your access attaches to the correct email.

Create your account

Choose the account creation option and enter the requested email and login details.

Use the same email

Use the same email address when subscribing, contacting support, or checking subscription access.

  4. Continue to PayPal checkout.
  5. Complete the PayPal payment.

How PayPal Checkout Works

CGN News may send readers to a PayPal payment flow for subscription checkout. Complete the payment through PayPal, then return to CGN News if prompted.

  • Use the same account email when possible.
  • Save your PayPal transaction reference if payment-related help is needed.
  • Contact support if access does not update after payment.

Article Access and Paywall Help

If an article does not open as expected, the most common causes are account status, a different email, browser cache, private browsing mode, or an interrupted payment/session.

  • Sign out and sign back in.
  • Confirm you are using the right account email.
  • Refresh the article page.
  • Try another browser or device.
  • Email support if the issue continues.

Newsletter and Email Help

Use the same email for newsletters and account access when possible. If emails do not arrive, check spam, junk, promotions, and blocked-sender settings.

  • Newsletter signup and unsubscribe help.
  • Missing email or confirmation questions.
  • Account and newsletter email mismatch support.

Refresh and sign in again

Try another browser

If the page still appears old or broken, try another browser or device and clear cached data if needed.

Confirm payment completed

For subscription issues, check that PayPal shows the payment or subscription as completed.
