# Step 1: Create your account

How to create your Taxomate account and choose your sales channel, the first step of Quick Setup.

## Video: Create an account for Amazon and Xero

(Old title: Step 1: Create Account & Select Plan. The plan moved to the new Step 2. This step is the phase "Your business" in the app.)

## 1\. Create your account

On the sign-up page, enter your **Work email** and select **Continue**. Or select **Continue with Google**. If you use Xero, select **Sign up with Xero**. If an account already uses the email, the page says so and links to **Sign in**.

On the next step your email shows at the top. Select **Change** if it is wrong. Enter your **First name** and a **Password**, then select **Create account**. The password needs 12 or more characters, upper and lower case, a number, and a symbol. The page shows each rule when you start to type.

The box **Email me Taxomate product updates and e-commerce accounting tips. You can unsubscribe at any time.** is not ticked. Tick it only if you want these emails.

Taxomate emails you a 6-digit code. The subject is "Welcome to Taxomate". On **Verify your email**, enter the code and select **Verify and continue**. Select **Send a new code** if it does not arrive. Check your spam folder.

Your 14-day free trial starts later, when you choose a plan in Step 2: Plan and payment.

## 2\. Choose your sales channel

Quick Setup asks **Where do you sell?** It says one sales channel per account, and you cannot change it later. Choose Amazon, Shopify, Walmart, eBay, Etsy, or TikTok Shop, then enter an **Account name** and select **Continue**. Have the login for your sales channel and your QuickBooks, Xero or Wave login ready (for Shopify: QuickBooks or Xero).

If you plan to use the Growth plan (more than one sales channel), you can connect another channel after your first setup. Use **Create another account** in the account switcher.

If you set up for clients, select **Use the partner dashboard**.
