# Quick Start Guide

> Get your first tour set up and ready to sell in minutes.

This guide walks you through setting up Fanhaven from scratch — from creating your organization to making your first sale.

## Step 1: Create your organization

Your **organization** is the top-level account that holds all your artists, tours, and team members.

<Steps>
  ### Sign up or accept your invite

  If you're the account owner, create your organization at [dashboard.fanhaven.com](https://dashboard.fanhaven.com). If you've been invited, check your email for the invitation link.

  ### Add your artist(s)

  Navigate to your dashboard and create your first artist profile. This is the brand identity your fans will see.

  ### Invite your team

  Go to **Settings → Organization** and invite team members. Assign them roles like **Admin**, **Member**, or **Owner** to control their access level.
</Steps>

## Step 2: Set up your tour

<Steps>
  ### Create a tour

  From the dashboard sidebar, go to **Tours** and create a new tour. Give it a name and set the date range.

  ### Add events (show dates)

  Each tour is made up of **events** — individual show dates at specific venues. Add your events with venue details, dates, and times.

  ### Configure tax settings

  For each event, set your **tax method** (inclusive or on-top) and tax rate. This can vary by venue and jurisdiction.
</Steps>

## Step 3: Build your merch catalog

<Steps>
  ### Add merch items

  Go to **Merch Catalog** and add your products. For each item, set the name, category, sizes, pricing, and upload photos.

  ### Create bundles (optional)

  Group items together into **bundles** with special pricing. Choose between fixed bundles or "pick any" bundles where fans choose their items.

  ### Stock your inventory

  Use **Inventory Management** to record your starting inventory counts per item and size.
</Steps>

## Step 4: Configure your POS

<Steps>
  ### Set up payment processing

  Go to **POS → Settings** and connect your Stripe account for card payments. Configure tipping options and cash drawer settings.

  ### Design your register layout

  Use the **Register Layout** editor to arrange your merch items on the POS screen in the order your staff needs.

  ### Equip your staff

  Have your merch staff download the **Fanhaven POS** app, sign in with their staff credentials, and select their event and booth.
</Steps>

## Step 5: Launch your Fanpass (optional)

<Steps>
  ### Customize your Fanpass

  Go to **Fanpass** in the dashboard and set up your artist's branded fan experience — background image, colors, and welcome message.

  ### Enable online merch

  Turn on the online storefront so fans can browse and purchase merch through your Fanpass page.

  ### Share your link

  Share your unique artist link with fans. They'll be able to sign up, get their digital wallet pass, and shop.
</Steps>
