It is easy to learn how to setup a PayPal account. The entire process can be completed in just a few minutes and signing up for PayPal is free. First, download PayPal from your device's app store. Once the download PayPal app is installed, you can create an account quickly. It is also possible to access the website via desktop browser. The account creation process is almost identical no matter how you access the site. Find the Sign Up tab and click it. Next, you will be asked to enter an email and create a password. 

Make sure that the email you enter is one you have access too as you will have to verify your account creation via email. Next, enter your personal information.
