# Create your ShopWrk account and configure your shop

> Sign up for ShopWrk with your email or Google account, verify your email address, and log in to your shop dashboard for the first time.

Before you can manage jobs, estimates, and your team, you need a ShopWrk account. This page walks you through registration, email verification, and your first login. The whole process takes under two minutes.

## What you'll need

* Your shop's name
* A business email address or a Google account

You don't need a credit card to sign up. You can connect billing later from **Settings → Billing**.

## Create your account

Go to the ShopWrk signup page to get started.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Email">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Enter your business name">
        Type your shop's name in the **Business Name** field. This becomes your shop's display name across ShopWrk. You can rename it any time in Settings.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Enter your email address">
        Use the email you want associated with your ShopWrk account.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Create a password">
        Your password must be at least 12 characters and include at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and one number. A strength indicator appears as you type.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Confirm your password">
        Re-enter the same password in the **Confirm Password** field.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Submit the form">
        Click **Create account**. ShopWrk sends a 6-digit verification code to your email address and redirects you to the verification page.
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Google">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Click Continue with Google">
        On the signup page, click **Continue with Google**. A Google sign-in prompt opens in your browser.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Select your Google account">
        Choose the Google account you want to use. ShopWrk receives your name and email from Google — no separate password is required.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Complete setup">
        Google sign-up skips email verification and takes you directly into the onboarding wizard, where you'll name your shop and finish configuration.
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Verify your email

After submitting the email signup form, ShopWrk sends a 6-digit code to your inbox and redirects you to the verification page.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Check your inbox">
    Look for an email from ShopWrk with your verification code. If it doesn't appear within a minute, check your spam or junk folder.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the code">
    Type each digit into the verification boxes. ShopWrk verifies your email as soon as you enter the sixth digit — no button click needed.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Continue to onboarding">
    Once verified, you're redirected to the onboarding wizard to finish setting up your shop.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  You can paste the full 6-digit code directly into the first input box and the digits will populate automatically.
</Tip>

<Note>
  If the code expires or doesn't arrive, click **Resend code** on the verification page. There is a 60-second cooldown between resend attempts.
</Note>

## Log in to your account

After your account is created, sign in at the ShopWrk login page.

* **Email:** Enter your email and password, then click **Sign in**.
* **Google:** Click **Continue with Google** and select your account.

If you've forgotten your password, click **Forgot password?** on the login page. ShopWrk sends a reset link to your email.

<Warning>
  Password reset links expire after a short period. If the link no longer works, return to the login page and request a new one.
</Warning>

## Joining a shop by invitation

If a shop owner sent you an invitation, your signup flow is different from the one above. Open the link in your invitation email — it takes you to a join page where your email address is pre-filled and your role is already assigned. Set your name and password, then verify your email to finish joining.
