Profile banners let members add custom background images to their public profiles. You can turn this into a paid feature by taking it away from regular members and selling it back to them. Start by changing the Registered group settings. Go to Groups & permissions, click on User groups, select Registered, and change Upload a profile banner to No. Save these changes, and nobody can use profile banners anymore.

You need a special group for people who pay for banners. Create a new group called Has profile banners. Find Groups and permissions, click User groups, choose Add user group, and type the name. In the permission chart, Set Upload a profile banner to Yes. Save everything when you finish. This creates your special group with banner rights.

The last step connects money to permissions. First, make sure you have a payment system ready. Head to Users, then User customization, click User upgrades, and select Add user upgrade. Name it Profile banners. Write a description if you want. Pick a price and currency for this feature. Keep the Length as Permanent since they pay once forever.

Choose which payment methods work for this purchase. Under Additional user groups, pick the Has profile banners group. After saving, members can buy Profile banners from their Account upgrades page. When they pay, the system automatically puts them in the special group, which gives them permanent permission to upload custom banner images to their profiles.
