PayPal Merchant Signup Step 1 - Sign up Step 2 - Confirm email address Step 3 - Add a bank account Step 4 - Add a credit card Step 5 - Start receiving payments Getting Started You can start accepting payments with PayPal in 5 easy steps: Step 1 - Sign Up: Go to https://www.paypal.com/ and click the Sign Up link in the upper right-hand corner of the page. Click on the Business link to sign up for a Business account. Make sure to write down the email address and password that you choose. Those will be used to login to your PayPal account. Step 2 - Confirming your Email Address: After completing the two-page signup, PayPal will send you an email to confirm your email address. Open your email and click the link in the email (or cut and paste into your browser window). You will be taken to a PayPal page and asked to enter your password. Once you have successfully entered your password, your email address will be confirmed. Important: PayPal representatives will NEVER ask you for your password, and will NEVER ask you to enter your password or financial information in an email or send such information in an email. If you believe someone has learned your password, please change it immediately and contact PayPal customer service as soon as possible. Step 3 - Add Bank Account: In order for PayPal to add funds to your bank account, you must add it. Before you add your bank account, you will need a check or deposit slip for that bank account. Log in to your PayPal account and click the Profile subtab of the My Account tab. Click the Bank Accounts link in the Financial Information column. On the Bank Accounts page, click Add. Once you have added your bank account, it will become your Primary bank account. If you decide to add additional bank accounts to your PayPal account, you can change any of the new accpimts to be your primary account. In order for PayPal to confirm that you are the owner of the bank account, PayPal will send two small deposits, each of less than $1.00, to your bank account. Check your bank statement in 3-4 business days, or check online, for the amounts of the two deposits. After getting the deposit amounts, log in to your PayPal account and click the Confirm Bank Account link in the Activate Account box on your Account Overview. Enter the amounts of each of the deposits on the page and your bank account will be confirmed and you will become Verified. Step 4 - Add Credit Card (optional): Log in to your PayPal account and click the Profile subtab of the My Account tab, as shown in the following diagram. Click the Credit Cards link in the Financial Information column. On the Credit Cards page, click the Add button. The credit card you added will become your primary credit card, meaning it is the default credit card used on your PayPal account. If you decide to add additional credit cards to your PayPal account, you can select any of them as your primary card. In addition, the credit card billing address you entered when you added your credit card is now a Confirmed Address. Many sellers require that buyers use their Confirmed Address as their shipping address when they pay with PayPal. You can use Confirmed Addresses as a positive indicator of a buyer’s identity. When you ship to a Confirmed Address, you can qualify for protection under PayPal’s Seller Protection Policy. For more information about PayPal's Seller Protection Policy, please refer to the PayPal User Agreement, which is available on the PayPal website. Step 5 - Start Receiving Payments: Now that you’ve set up everything in your PayPal account, you’re ready to start receiving payments.
