First setup and signing in

Open Set up your business from the sign-in page on a new installation.

Set up a new installation — /setup

Open Set up your business from the sign-in page on a new installation.

  1. Enter the business name and the legal entity name that should appear on invoices.
  2. Choose the actual country, book currency and timezone. Check these even when the browser supplies defaults. The country controls the tax regime; the book currency controls accounting. Choosing another currency on an invoice later does not change your accounting currency.
  3. For India, supply the business GST state and, when registered, its GSTIN.
  4. Name the first branch and warehouse.
  5. Enter the owner's name, email and a password of at least 12 characters; confirm the password.
  6. Select Create business and continue, then sign in.

Use the setup screen for a fresh installation. Existing users should sign in instead. The administrator should disable public bootstrap after setup using the deployment configuration.

Sign in — /login

Enter your work email and password, then select Sign in. Use the eye button to check a mistyped password. The language picker changes interface language. Protect your account and avoid sharing the owner's login with staff.

Recover access — /forgot-password and /reset-password

Select Forgot password?, enter your email and request a reset link. Open the link delivered through your installation's configured recovery workflow. Its token identifies the reset request; opening /reset-password alone cannot reset an account. Set and confirm the new password from a valid link, then sign in again. If no message arrives, ask the installation operator to check email delivery rather than repeatedly creating accounts.
