# Get started with Billpal

> Sign up, set up two-factor, create a workspace and import your first documents.

Sign up at [billpal.io](https://billpal.io) with your email address or with **Sign up with Google**. With an email address, Billpal first sends you a link to confirm it. Billpal then walks you through setup in a few steps.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your account">
    Enter your name, set a password and choose whether you use Billpal as a **Business owner** for your own company or as an **Accounting firm** for clients.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Two-factor authentication">
    Billpal protects every account with a second factor. Scan the QR code with an authenticator app such as 1Password, Authy or Google Authenticator and enter the 6 digits. Billpal asks for the code every time you sign in from then on.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Company details">
    Enter the company name, website, tax ID and address. Billpal later uses them to tell whether your company is the customer or the supplier on a document.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a workspace">
    Name the workspace, describe in a sentence or two what your company does, and choose the chart of accounts: Billpal default, Austria (ÖEKR) or Germany (SKR03/SKR04).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invite your team">
    Invite colleagues or your accountant. You can skip this step and do it later, see [Workspaces and team](/en/workspaces).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect WhatsApp">
    Connect your phone number so you can photograph receipts and send them on WhatsApp. More in [Connect WhatsApp](/en/whatsapp).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect an email account">
    Connect the inbox where your invoices arrive, or set up forwarding. The import starts once you finish setup. You can skip this step too.
  </Step>
</Steps>

If you were invited to an existing workspace, the company, workspace and team steps are left out. The account owner sets those up.

Your account starts on the [trial](/en/billing#trial): 7 days and up to 50 documents, no card needed.
