If you find check-writing to be a time-consuming and tedious chore, you will absolutely love PayPal. Evite recently teamed up with PayPal, to offer users the option of submitting payments electronically for events where monies need to be collected in advance.

CREATING YOUR PERSONAL PAYPAL ACCOUNT

  1. Access the PayPal home page via the internet at www.paypal.com.

  2. Click on the “Sign Up” link in the upper left corner of the page under the Log In button next to “New to PayPal?”. You will be redirected to the “Choose Account Type” page. On the far left column, click on “Start Now” button and this will enable you to create a Personal PayPal Account. These directions are for funds to be taken out of your CHECKING ACCOUNT. To establish a debit card account, the instructions might vary. CCT does not use the credit card option due to extra fees that PayPal adds to those transactions.


  3. This will take you to the “Create a PayPal Account” page. On this page complete all of the requested information in this section (i.e., First Name, Last Name, Zip Code/Postal Code, etc.). **Important Note: Be sure that the email address you include on the registration form is the same email address to which all CCT correspondence is sent. Also remember to jot down your password for future reference along with the two security questions and corresponding answers.**


  4. Once you’ve completed the registration form, click on the “I Agree. Create My Account” button to complete the process. This will take you to the “Account Sign Up” page. At this point, you have the option to go to your email and confirm your account or continue without confirming at this point. It is best to go to your email and confirm and then continue from there.


  5. From your email confirmation, if you have successfully confirmed your email, you can hit the “Continue” button on the lower right corner and this will take you to the “Verification” screen. This page explains the verification process and the reasons why you might want to be verified. If you decide to get verified, click on the link “Get Verified” at the bottom of the page.


  6. This link takes you to the “Get Verified” page. You can “Get Verified” with either a bank account or apply for a PayPal Plus Credit Card. Most people “get verified” with a bank account. To do this, click on “Add Bank.” You will need a check from your checking account to get the necessary information. When completed, click on “Continue” button on the lower right.


  7. You will then return to the “Get Verified” screen and underneath it will say, “You have successfully added a bank account.” You will receive an email with further specific instructions for you to complete in order to confirm this bank account.


  8. After you complete these instructions to confirm your bank account, you’re done!!
