How to set up PayPal account

To set up a PayPal account, visit PayPal's website and click "Sign Up." Choose between a personal or business account, then provide your email, create a password, and enter your personal or business details. Verify your email address through the confirmation link PayPal sends. Next, link a bank account or debit card to fund transactions and withdraw money. Complete any identity verification steps PayPal requires, which may include submitting documents.
