# 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** *(required)*
* **Email Address** *(required)*
* **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.
> đź”’ *This information is only used to customize your experience and is not publicly visible unless shared on your payment pages or invoices.*
**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
đź’Ľ **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
đź“Š **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.
