Your first day: setup in six steps

Do these in order

Create your account. Use an email you check every day.
Tell us about the shop. Name, address, and state. The state matters because it decides how card pricing is shown on the receipt.
Pick your pricing. We suggest the legal option for your state. If you're unsure, leave the suggestion alone.
Add your products. Type them in, or import a spreadsheet. You can add more any time.
Connect your bank. Go to Get paid and complete the payout setup. This is where your money will land.
Set up your card reader. Go to Hardware and follow the wizard. It recommends the right reader and links you straight to buy it.

About 20 minutes, not counting the time to type in your products. You can stop and come back — nothing is lost.

Your bank is connected and your reader is paired. The dashboard checklist shows exactly what's left.
