Creating a Google Checkout account
You must have a Google Checkout account associated with your Google Account to
purchase items from Android Market.
Do one of the following:
On your computer, go to http://checkout.google.com to create a Google Checkout
account.
The first time you use your phone to buy an item from Android Market, you’re prompted
to enter your billing information to set up a Google Checkout account.
When you’ve used Google Checkout once to purchase an application from Android Market, the phone
remembers your password, so you don’t need to enter it the next time. For this reason, you should
secure your phone to prevent others from using it without your permission. See the Security chapter
to learn how to secure your phone.
