# 1.1 Create your account

Registration is a **3-step wizard** that creates your user account, the **business** and the **first
store** at once. There are no half-created records: everything is created in a single final step.

1. On the home page, click **Create account** (or open `/Account/Register`).
2. **Step 1 — Business:**
   - **Business name** (e.g. "Central Barbershop"). It's the name shown on your public page.
   - **Address** and **phone** (optional but recommended — shown to customers).
   - **Default language:** the language your **public page** will appear in to customers. The picker
     opens on the language the site is currently shown in, with the flag and language name.
3. **Step 2 — Agenda & setup:**
   - **Business type:** pick from the list (barbershop, salon, clinic, restaurant, padel, escape room,
     spa, etc.). The list is grouped by category with icons.
   - **Agenda type:** **suggested automatically** from the business type (e.g. barbershop → Per
     professional; restaurant → Per table). You only pick it manually if you choose "Other".
   - **Include example data** (on by default): creates sample services, staff and/or spaces suited to
     the business type so you can try it right away. You can delete them later.
4. **Step 3 — Account:** your **name**, **email** and **password** (min 6 chars, with upper, lower,
   number and symbol). Click **Create account**.
5. The account is created **unconfirmed**. You get a **confirmation email** and land on the "Check your
   email" page.

> 💡 **Scenario** — *"I have two barbershops."* Create the account with one of them; add the second
> store later (chapter 10). You don't need two accounts.
