# Create Your Business Account

🧩 Step 1: Connect Your Wallet

To begin, connect your Web3 wallet (such as MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or any supported wallet). This wallet will act as your **authentication method** and will be used to access your AstraPay dashboard.

> **Note:** You are not required to receive payments to this wallet. You can assign a separate wallet address later.

🏢 **Step 2: Set Up Your Business Information**

After connecting your wallet, you’ll be asked to fill out basic information about your business. This helps personalize your AstraPay dashboard, payment links, and invoice templates.

Here’s what you’ll provide:

**Business Information**

* **Business Name** *<mark style="color:red;">(required)</mark>*
* **Email Address** *<mark style="color:red;">(required)</mark>*
* **Website** *(optional)*

**Business Address**

* Country *(optional)*
* Street Address *(optional)*
* Apartment/Suite (optional)
* City, State, ZIP or Postal Code *(optional)*

**Additional Information**

* **Business Description** *(optional)* – Describe what you do or sell to help contextualize your account.

**You can edit these details at any time from your settings.**

📧 **Step 3: Verify Your Email Address**

For security and communication purposes, you’ll be asked to verify your email. A one-time verification code will be sent to your inbox.

Email is used for:

* Email ownership verification
* Invoice confirmations
* Payment alerts
* Notifications and security updates

💼 **Step 4: (Optional) Add Master Wallet Addresses**

You can now set one or more **master wallet addresses** — these are where AstraPay will send incoming payments after validating each transaction.

This step is optional and can be done later in the settings. You may:

* Add any EVM-compatible wallet address
* Use cold wallets or multi-sig vaults
* Change or remove wallets anytime

📊 **Step 5: Access Your Dashboard**

Once all steps are complete, you’ll be redirected to your dashboard — where you can start creating products, sending invoices, generating payment links, and tracking payments in real-time.
