# Getting Started

This guide walks you through the initial steps to sign up for your Offering Manager account, configure essential settings, and prepare for your first token offering.

## Sign up for an Offering Manager account

Issuers can sign up for a self-serve account at <https://om.bitbond.com>. During signup, choose one of the following plans:

* **Free** — 1 offering, up to 5 investors, up to 3 team members. Explore all features in sandbox mode. You cannot publish offerings live, add a custom domain, or process payments. Bitbond branding will be shown on the Invest Page.
* **Professional Monthly** or **Professional Annual** — Up to 5 offerings, up to 1,000 investors, up to 3 team members. Publish offerings live, add a custom domain, and accept payments via supported providers. No Bitbond branding on the Invest Page.
* **Enterprise** — Unlimited offerings, investors, and team members. All Professional features plus dedicated support and custom contractual terms. To discuss Enterprise, contact Bitbond sales (<https://www.bitbond.com/contact>).

After signing up, you’ll be taken to the admin login page. Use the email and password you provided, or click **Sign in with Google** if you signed up via Google SSO.

## Accepting an Invitation (Additional Administrators)

If a team member is invited as an administrator, they will receive an email with a link to the **Accept Invitation** page. On that page, they can either:

* Set a password for email/password login, or
* Sign in with Google using Single Sign-On (SSO)

Once they complete this step, they can use either login method on subsequent visits.

## Logging In

Access the Offering Manager admin at <https://om.bitbond.com/admin/login> or by clicking **Login** on the homepage.

Sign in with:

* **Email and password** — Enter the email address and password associated with your account.
* **Google SSO** — Click **Sign in with Google** and authenticate with the same Google account you used at signup or invite acceptance.
* **Forgot password** — If you forget your password, click **Forgot password?**, enter your registered email, and follow the link in the email to reset your password. After resetting, you’ll see a confirmation banner on the login page prompting you to sign in with your new password.
* **Session expiration** — If your session has expired from inactivity, a banner will prompt you to sign in again.

If you have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled, you’ll be prompted to enter a 6-digit code from your authenticator app (TOTP). If you don’t have access to your authenticator, click **Use a backup code** on the verification screen and enter one of your one-time backup codes.

## First Steps After Login

When you log in for the first time, you may see a **Welcome** page that suggests quick actions:

* Create your first offering
* Invite your team
* Read the documentation
* Get support

Click **Go to Dashboard** or **Create your first offering** to proceed.

Before creating your first offering, complete these essential setup steps:

### 1. Manage Your Account

Go to [Account](https://github.com/bitbond/offering-manager-docs/blob/main/admin/account/README.md) to update your email address, change your password, and configure two-factor authentication (2FA). You can enable or disable 2FA and view your one-time backup codes on this page.

### 2. Manage Your Subscription

Go to [Billing](https://github.com/bitbond/offering-manager-docs/blob/main/admin/billing/README.md) to view your current plan and upgrade or downgrade. To move from Free to Professional Monthly or Annual, you can self-serve in the Billing area. To explore Enterprise, contact Bitbond sales at <https://www.bitbond.com/contact>.

### 3. Review Organization Details

Navigate to **Settings** → **Organization** and confirm your organization name and reply-to email address. The reply-to email is used as the sender for all investor-facing emails (order confirmations, payment reminders, etc.).

### 4. Add Bank Details

If you plan to accept bank transfers (SEPA or wire), go to **Settings** → **Payments** and enter:

* Bank name
* Account holder name
* IBAN
* BIC / SWIFT code

These details appear to investors during bank transfer checkout.

### 5. Configure Payment Providers

In **Settings** → **Payments**, set up any of the following:

* **Checkout.com** (<https://www.checkout.com>) — For card payments. Enter your secret key, public key, and webhook secret.
* **Coinbase Commerce** (<https://www.coinbase.com/commerce>) — For hosted crypto payments. Enter your API key and webhook shared secret. You can choose to settle proceeds in crypto or withdraw to fiat manually.
* **On-chain Stablecoin Payments**
  * **EVM-compatible networks** — Provide an Extended Public Key (xPub) from your HD wallet (e.g., Ledger, Trezor) to generate unique addresses per investor.
  * **Solana** — Provide a Solana public key to receive stablecoin deposits.
* **Manual** — Enable admin-entered manual payments for off-platform methods (e.g., cash, wire transfers not processed through a PSP).

### 6. Configure Custodial Wallet Provider (Optional)

If you want to provision wallets for investors, under **Settings** → **Payments** in the **Custody Provider** section, enter your Tangany credentials:

* **Tangany** (<https://tangany.com>) — API key and secret.

Per offering, you’ll select an investor wallet policy: *BYO only*, *Investor choice*, or *Custodial only*.

### 7. Set Up KYC Integration

To verify investor identities, configure KYC providers in **Settings** → **KYC**:

* **Sumsub** (<https://sumsub.com>) — App token and secret key.
* **Blockpass** (<https://www.blockpass.org>) — API key and secret.

You can configure both and choose one per offering.

### 8. Invite Team Members

If others need admin access, go to **Team** and invite them by email. They’ll receive an invitation and can log in via email/password or Google SSO.

### 9. Manage Investors and Orders

* Go to **Investors** to view, invite, or manually create investor profiles. You can edit details and update KYC status at any time.
* In **Offerings**, select an offering, open the **Orders** tab, and create or view orders. Use **Create Order** to manually record an order; select **Manual** if it’s an off-platform payment.

### 10. Review the Audit Trail

Track all admin actions in **Audit Trail**. Use filters to view entries by offering, team member, or action type.

### 11. Explore the API

The Offering Manager exposes a public REST API. Browse the interactive OpenAPI spec at <https://om.bitbond.com/api/docs>. The base URL for public API requests is:

```
https://om.bitbond.com/api/public
```

## Next Steps

Once your settings are configured, create your first offering in the [Managing Offerings](https://docs.bitbond.com/asset-tokenization-suite/offering-manager/managing-offerings) guide.
