How to register on paypal step by step instructions. Registration with Paypal

It is extremely convenient to be able to pay for a purchase or service online, literally without leaving your home or without leaving your workplace. Every year, electronic payment systems and services are becoming more and more popular among users from Russia.

Competing with each other in ease of use, functionality and input/output capabilities, the largest payment systems strive to become as accessible as possible. One of the most accessible and convenient is.

PayPal is the largest global payment system in the world. Among users from Russia PayPal has been known for a long time, but it gained particular popularity in 2013, when the Central Bank of the Russian Federation approved the issuance of the organization licenses to carry out NPO activities(non-bank credit organization). In turn, this allowed Russians to use all the capabilities of the system, including making payments to accounts in Russian banks.

Previously, this option was not available, and Russian users could only make payments, pay bills and send money transfers.

So, today, PayPal allows residents of Russia to:

• pay for purchases in stores, both Russian and foreign
• bill other PayPal users
• pay bills from other PayPal customers
• and withdraw funds to a card or bank account
• send and receive money transfers

By 2017, the PayPal payment system in Russia is rapidly capturing the market and used by thousands of partners- from highly specialized online stores to large players such as Ozon, Afisha, Anywayanyday and many others.

The main feature due to which the system has become so popular is payment security. For example, when making a purchase that requires delivery, money is credited to the seller's account only after the buyer confirms that the goods have been received.

Also, within six months the buyer has possibility to open a dispute, which will be carefully reviewed by PayPal's arbitration system.

For that, to register an account It will take a little time in the payment giant’s system, but some difficulties and questions still arise, which we will examine in detail in this article.

What is needed to register with PayPal in Russian

Due to the fact that the PayPal payment system is one of the most secure in the world, the security requirements are no less stringent.

Before you begin registration, please have the following ready:

1. Work email. By and large, email address You can use either an existing one or create a new one on one of the free services, such as Mail.ru, Gmail.com or Yandex.Mail. But PayPal recommends using paid services, citing the fact that they are more protected from possible fraudulent activities.
2. with a positive balance. It doesn't matter whether it's a debit card or a credit card. It is important that you have the equivalent of at least $2 US in your account. This amount will be needed for activation, the process of which we will describe below, and will be available in your PayPal account.

Cards that are suitable for opening a PayPal wallet:

• MasterCard Standard and higher, Russian or foreign banks.
• Visa Classic and above, the issuing bank can be Russian or foreign.

Cards that are NOT suitable for registration:

• Maestro instant release
• Cards of the Russian payment system MIR
• PRO100
• Visa Electron
• Virtual cards

After completing the registration and activation procedure account, data bank card can be changed, but the procedure for linking a new card will need to be repeated.

We talked in detail about which Russian bank cards are suitable for connecting to the PayPal system in the article.

Important nuances before registration

• Every person is allowed to have only one PayPal account- this is the company's policy. It is possible to open another account, but only if you are a business owner.
• After registration it is impossible to change the country. You will have the opportunity to change data, such as registration address, zip code, but you cannot change your country of residence.
• If for any reason the service administration blocks your account, then the funds in the account will be frozen for 180 days, during which the proceedings will be carried out, after the expiration of six months the funds will be sent to you by transfer. Please note that the full name and data for the transfer will be those specified in the account.

Instructions. Let's start registering:

Paypal is available in 202 countries around the world, and registration can be completed in more than 10 languages. We will consider registration on the official website in Russian.

• Selecting your country of residence. If you have a Russian passport and registration in one of the regions Russian Federation— choose the country “Russia”, because if for any reason the administration of the payment system requires you to send a copy of your passport or registration page, these data will have to match those specified in your account.

If over time you moving to another country, the only option to change your country of residence is deleting an account and creating a new one, which will require an inspection lasting up to 1 year.

The reason for this is the difference in tariffs for services in different countries Oh.

• Enter email. You can enter an existing address or create a new one. The entered e-mail will be your login to log into the system.
• Enter your password. Invent complex password, consisting of at least 8 characters. Don't use your date of birth or phone number - it's not secure.

At this step it will be necessary enter personal data. The form is easy to fill out and an example is provided below. All data are entered in Russian.

Number SNILS or TIN are entered exactly as specified in the documents.

The only caveat is that the data must be entered exactly with the documents you have.

If you subsequently need to send a scan of your passport and the data differs from those specified, the account may be blocked forever, and the funds in the account may be frozen.

After filling out the form, check the box that you agree with the specified PayPal terms and privacy policy and click the button “Agree and create an account”.

In the next step you need to add bank card details. This data can be changed later.

The service fee for card verification is $1.95, after some time PayPal will credit the fee to your wallet in the system.

Example of entering card data

Card details can be entered later by clicking the “Skip” button, but in this case, you can only top up your PayPal account with cash.

Ready! The account has been created. To be able to use all the features of the service you will need log in to mail specified during registration and follow the link in the email from PayPal to confirm ownership of the specified e-mail.

How to minimize the risk of account verification and freezing

1. Enter only valid passport details. If the service administrator decides to check your account and requests scanned copies of your passport or registration, you won’t have to rack your brains about what you can come up with now.
2. Don't change your linked card and bank account too often. According to experience, in order to avoid being checked, you can change your linked card no more than once a year.
3. Frequent changes of IP address. If you often travel and log into your PayPal account from different countries, the service administration may suspect that your account has been taken over by fraudsters and will ask you to provide copies of documents to confirm ownership of the account. During the verification period, the account is limited for operations, and funds are frozen.
4. Shopping on eBay with goods sent to the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol. A very “delicate” situation, since the United States does not recognize the annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol to the Russian Federation. All accounts from which goods were paid for delivery to Crimea are blocked without the possibility of recovery.
5. Login to your PayPal account from the IP address of the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol. If you are going on vacation to Crimea, try not to log into your account or use an anonymizer, since your account will immediately come under lengthy verification.

Video on how to register PayPal in Russian:

Those who periodically order something from foreign online stores may have noticed that in addition to the standard payment card options, there is an option to pay through the system PayPal. This system has a lot of advantages, so today I will tell you in which cases it is better to pay through this system and how to register in it.

Why register with PayPal

You need to pay for purchases via PayPal if:

1. doubt your integrity site or seller - if the goods are not sent to you or are sent of poor quality, PayPal will return your money and will deal with the seller itself. On Ebay, for example, all payments are made only through PayPal.

2. you doubt that the goods will reach you— in this case, even if the store refuses to reimburse you for the cost of the lost order, PayPal will return the amount including shipping costs. The same applies to situations when the goods arrived, but were damaged along the way.

All payments made through PayPal are eligible for Buyer Protection. You can dispute your purchase within 180 days after payment.

How to register for PayPal

1. Go to the site PayPal By link and in the upper right corner click the button Sign Up(Register).

2. In the window that appears, select your country of residence(in the drop-down list), enter the contact email(Your email address), enter password(Create your password) and duplicate it(Confirm your password).

• First Name- Name
• Last Name- surname
• Date Of Birth— date of birth in the format “date/month/year”
• Nationality— nationality from the drop-down list
• Street Address 1— residential address in the format “street name, house number, apartment number” (for example, Avocado str., 15, apt.22)
• Street Address 2 (Optional)— if the address does not fit in the previous line, continue in this field. Otherwise, leave the field empty.
• City— city of residence
• Province/Region— region (field is optional)
• Postal Code— postal code (field is optional)
• Mobile- number mobile phone(please note that the country code is determined automatically by the country of registration)

We put a “bird” next to the phrase “I confirm that I read, consent and agree...”(a phrase indicating that you have read and agree to the PayPal terms of use - they can be found by following the links And ).

Press the button “ Agree and Continue” (agree and continue).

4. Enter the details of your payment card from which payments will be made (in the future you can change the card or add an additional one).

To do this, enter the following data:

• Card Number— 16 digits of your card
• MM/YY— card validity period (month/year)
• CSC/CVC- three numbers on the back of the card
• Billing Address— address for sending invoices. The registration address you specify is automatically displayed, but you can change it by clicking the Edit button. Since no one actually sends invoices, the address does not need to be changed.

Click on the button Add Card(Add map).

5. If you filled out everything correctly, a message about creating an account should appear on the screen as in the photo below.

6. After this, go to the e-mail that you specified during registration and confirm that this is really your e-mail. You should receive an email from PayPal in which you just need to click on the button Yes, this is my email. In the window that opens, enter your password and click on the button Confirm Email Address.

7. The registration process itself is now complete, but then I advise you to change some settings to make payment via PayPal as convenient and profitable as possible.

For this click on the gear in the upper right corner, and in the bookmark Account change the interface language to Russian in the drop-down list of the line Language(I prefer the interface in English, but this is a matter of convenience). For the language change to take effect, you need to log out of your account and log in again.

In the same tab you can add an address in the block Address, email in block Email and the phone is on the block Phone(to add something, click on the plus sign in the corresponding block).

8. In the section “ Safety“it is important to change only the section” Security questions” by pressing the “ button Create" Since your card is linked to PayPal, if you log in from an unusual place or if PayPal suspects that your account has been hacked, you will not be able to pay until you respond to test questions. Questions must be selected from a drop-down list, and you can think of the answers yourself.

How to pay with PayPal

By using PayPal You can pay for purchases online or transfer money to friends/relatives/anyone.

Pay for online purchases via PayPal

Almost all major foreign online stores work with PayPal. To check whether the site you need works with this payment system, before paying, pay attention to the proposed payment methods - if you see PayPal icon, which means you can pay through it.

The payment procedure may differ slightly in different stores, but the principle is as follows (I show on the example of the site Cult Beauty):

1. In the payment section, select the section PayPal and click on the “ Proceed to PayPal Checkout” (Proceed to payment via PayPal)

2. After this, the store automatically redirects you to the website PayPal. If you are already logged into the system, you will see a payment confirmation window (as in step 3 below). If you are not logged in, enter your email and password, then click on the “ button Login”.

3. In the window that opens, check:

— delivery address— it will be pulled from the online store data, but it can be corrected by clicking on the “Change” button

— payment card— if you want to pay with another card, click on the “Change” button and either select the desired card from the list (if it is linked to PayPal), or add a new one

— conversion option— if your card currency does not match the payment currency, you can select the conversion option. The system defaults to the PayPal conversion rate, which includes a 2% commission. Therefore, click on the item “ View conversion options” and instead of the item “ Conversion via PayPal"select the item" Conversion via card issuer" Click “ I accept”.

4. Click “ Continue” - if the payment has been completed, a message about a successful transaction will appear on the screen and you will automatically be redirected to the store’s website.

Transfer money to friends via PayPal

You can transfer money via PayPal to individuals, provided that in their country of registration PayPal works to accept payments, and if you know their email. Let me make a reservation right away that in Russia PayPal works both for accepting funds and for paying in stores, in Ukraine - only for paying in stores.

To make a transfer:

1. Go to “ Sending payments” and select the item “ Send funds to friends and family”.

3. Enter the sending amount, select the currency, enter a message in free form (optional) and press the “ button Continue”.

4. We check whether the transfer will be made from the right card (if you have saved several cards, you can change them in the “Change source of funds” section) and pay attention to the transfer fee.

5. And beyond select the conversion rate, if the currency of your card does not match the currency of the transfer. Here, too, the default is “ Conversion via Paypal”, which needs to be changed to the item “Conversion at the rate of the issuing bank” by analogy with paragraph 3 of the previous section (about paying for purchases on the Internet).

6. If the payment is successful, the following message will appear on the screen

It is not for nothing that the PayPal electronic payment system is rightfully recognized as one of the best and most reliable payment tools via the Internet. A high degree of protection of confidential data requires the use of serious security measures. This applies not only to server hardware, but also software. Technical complexity not only guarantees high-quality functioning on a global scale, but also leads to certain types of incidents. This is sometimes the reason why you can’t register with PayPal.

Why can't I register?

The most common problems are with mailbox and bank card verification. During registration, the user is sent an email with an address confirmation password email. By following the link (clicking the button), he gets to the site and verifies the email. If a letter ends up in spam, you won’t see it right away. Sometimes the jump button doesn't work. You have to confirm your email address through the notification menu in your account. As a result, the client ends up on a page where he is asked to take three steps.

If the email simply did not arrive, a confirmation number is requested again. If nothing works again, you need to change mailbox. Preferably in Google (gmail.com).

If you can't register with PayPal, you should check the balance on your card. Minimum $2.95 required. When filling out the payment instrument details, be sure to check the number of digits in the number and CVV code.

Among the reasons for the problems that arise are incorrect filling out of the form and incorrect entry of codes. For example, dates should be written in American format, with the month preceded by the day and slashes used instead of periods to separate them. Registration with PayPal does not work if the address is not written in an international format.

Problems encountered during registration

Any errors or omissions will also not lead to the desired registration. Thus, problems are most often caused by human factors, but can be systemic. The service may simply fail. Sometimes the reason lies in the browser used.

Cannot process request

When I try to attach a card to PayPal, I get the message “We couldn’t process your request, please try again later.” Some banks prohibit directly linking a service account to their cards. In such cases, you must first create a virtual card in the account access client and then link it.

PayPal may issue “we are not able to process your request, please try again later” - due to the fact that the system does not recognize the client’s home address, date of birth, or any other data specified with an error.

Internal error

An internal server error is also common when registering with PayPal. The so-called error 500 indicates that the server is unavailable - for example, due to routine maintenance. It also appears in the case of incorrectly passed URL parameters, or when the server cannot read the user's script. In this case, you can try refreshing the page, but this rarely helps. In general, this is not a problem for the user, but for a service that is used by thousands of people at the same time.

Registration with PayPal: Video

So, you have read our article “Getting to know the PayPal payment system” and decided to become a user of this most popular payment system in the world. The solution is very logical: the vast world of foreign online shopping will open up for you, you will be able to pay for purchases on your own ebay auction and hundreds of other online marketplaces.

Did you know that the name PayPal consists of two English words: " pay" And " pal" and literally translates as "pay your friend"?

Opening and maintaining an account with PayPal is completely free. There will be no surprises here. PayPal, of course, is not a charitable organization; a commission is charged for services, but this applies to recipients of funds and sellers.

To register with Paypal you will need:

• A payment card that must have an amount equivalent to at least several US dollars on its account (otherwise PayPal will not be able to authorize it). You can find out more about which card to choose for work in our series of articles devoted to this issue.
• Electronic mail (e-mail). In theory, any email address will do. As a recommendation we can only offer do not use free services, and if there is no alternative to them, then stick to the most secure ones - for example Google Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Yandex Mail.

Registration in any online service is, as you probably already know, not difficult. And PayPal is technically no exception here. However, there are important nuances that you should definitely know about in advance. This company very carefully monitors compliance with the rules and, if they are violated, can simply block not only the violator’s account, but often other accounts associated with it with a lifetime ban on registering again. What is worth knowing right away?

• An individual is allowed to have only one PayPal account (there is only one exception: you can have one personal account for personal purposes, and one corporate account for business).
• It is possible to delete your Paypal account, but the procedure is not quick. You submit an application, the account is frozen for 180 days (the period for considering possible financial claims against the owner) and then closed after about a year. You cannot open new accounts during this time. All closed accounts are under close scrutiny.
• You cannot change the country of registration in your account, unlike other data.
• If an account is blocked due to violation of the rules, the funds on its balance are frozen for 180 days and after this time are transferred to the owner. However, if it turns out that the owner’s data is falsified, then he will not be able to receive these funds.

Registration instructions:

You can ask questions regarding how to register with PayPal on our forum.

According to reviews from many users: it is advisable to verify the card immediately after registering an account, because Before the card is verified, there are quite strict limits on the amount of one-time payment sent. Card verification, as a rule, does not cause any particular difficulties for anyone.

Useful information

1. If you live in one of the CIS countries (except for the Russian Federation and the Baltic countries), then after registering with PayPal your balance will be zero. Don't worry - there's nothing wrong with that, that's how it should be. Funds will be withdrawn from your bank card as needed. When returning, the funds are returned directly to the card.
2. Residents of the Russian Federation and the Baltic countries are allowed to accept payments. The funds withdrawn from the card during registration and verification will be immediately credited to their account balance. In order to send a payment, they do not need to replenish the balance - funds can be withdrawn both from the account and directly from the payment card. For example, if there is a certain amount on your balance, but you need to pay more, then the missing funds will be charged from the card.
3. In Ukraine and Kazakhstan, you cannot accept payments via PayPal, as well as withdraw funds from PayPal to a bank account.
4. After linking the card, no matter what currency it is in, be sure to immediately change the conversion center, setting the default center not to Paypal, but to your bank. Otherwise, there will be extra expenses.
5. Don't experiment with PayPal by introducing other people's cards, different bank accounts, etc. Don't draw attention to yourself. Otherwise, you risk being audited.
6. Do not give your username and password to third parties PayPal account. Do not participate in dubious transactions or accept dubious offers where you are asked to pay for something, promising huge commissions.
7. If you log into your PayPal account from different countries (calculated by IP address) or there will simply be a large number of logins from different computers, it is possible that the security service may suspect that unauthorized persons have gained access to the account. Such an account risks being blocked, and you may be asked to send copies of documents.
8. Very often, scammers send fake emails, similar to real letters from ebay, PayPal, CityBank etc. These letters vary in content, but ultimately require one thing from the user: follow the link in the letter and enter your username and password. As you probably guessed, this whole scheme is designed to trick you into giving you your username and password. By following the link, you will be taken to a fake website (usually just a couple of pages) of the company on behalf of which the letter was sent, where you are asked to log in. If you fall for this scam and provide personal information to scammers, you can get into serious trouble. There is only one way out: do not believe everything that comes to you by e-mail, no matter how plausible it may look. Check links carefully. Enter your username and password only on the authorization page, which you reached by typing the address yourself, or using a link from your browser bookmarks. And remember: if we are talking about real payment system, then it will never require your login and password via e-mail. If you receive such a letter, it means that it was sent by scammers.
9. Do not use "instant" (or prepaid/gift) payment cards that can be purchased online. Such cards, as a rule, do not have the owner’s first and last name (any name can be specified), as well as a plastic carrier - they simply send you a number and expiration date. The cost of using such a card in PayPal can be high - your account will be blocked once and for all. Remember: only a bank can issue a credit (or debit) card after carefully checking your personal data.
10. When returning funds (full refund through "Dispute" or partial refund), the money does not appear on the card immediately. Usually your bank (and the timing depends only on it) keeps them in a “frozen” state for another 3-20 days.
