Paypal is one of the best and most secure methods of payment on the internet. Shopping online has never been this fast, easy, reliable and most importantly, secure. Most people are afraid of shelling out their hard earned cash on the net but have no fear, Paypal is here!
Signing up is really easy!
1. Go to paypal.com.
2. Click on the sign up link.
3. A ‘Create your Paypal Account page’ would open up. Simply choose your country or region and choose your language to personalize your Paypal experience.
4. To personalize your Paypal experience, you’re given 3 options to choose from. All would depend on how you want to use your Paypal account. If you’re still unsure of what you want to do with Paypal, it’s always nice to choose the basic type which is for Personal use.
There are 3 different types of Paypal accounts to choose from: personal, premier or business.
Personal - for individual who shop online
Premier- for individuals who buy and sell online
Business - for merchants who use a company or group name
5. After choosing what type of Paypal account you want, the next page would ask you to fill up important Account Information. You need to input your email address (this would be used as your Paypal username), password (must be at least 8 characters), name, address and phone number.
6. Read the User Agreement and Privacy Policy. If you’re 100% sure about what you’re doing ‘Click Agree and Create Account’.
7. Once your account has been created, you now need to consider on how you want to fund your purchases. There are 2 ways of paying through Paypal: bank account or credit card.
The bank account option would link your checking or savings account with your Paypal account. You can add several bank accounts in the future but for starters, you can add one account to have your Paypal account verified.
The credit card option is always the faster way of funding your Paypal account. You can set up your account quickly and efficiently without having to expose your credit card information to merchants.
8. After having your account verified, you're now ready to use Paypal.
Happy online shopping!
