# Getting Set Up

> Set up your provider account, first service, payouts, and first payment.

## Overview

Getting set up in Newie means creating a service, finishing payout setup, and sharing a way for the customer to pay. Most first setups follow that same sequence.

## Setup Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create Your Account" icon="user-plus">
    Download Newie on iPhone or Mac.

    Sign up, verify your email where prompted, and fill in the profile details Newie asks for, such as name, profession, biography, and profile photo.

    See [Account & Profile](/guides/account-profile) for the full setup.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create Your First Service" icon="package-plus">
    A service is what customers buy from you. Newie supports three types:

    * **Subscription** - recurring billing on a schedule (weekly, monthly, etc.) until paused or canceled.
    * **One-Off Purchase** - a single-purchase service with one invoice and payment.
    * **Instalment Plan** - a fixed total split across a set number of scheduled payments.

    In the app, go to **Sell → Services → New Service**, choose the type, name it, set the price, and save.

    You can come back later to add Terms of Service, digital downloads, a Welcome Email, intro pricing, setup fees, or BNPL where eligible.

    See [Services](/guides/services) for service-type details, pricing options, intro pricing, setup fees, and digital downloads.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set Up Payouts" icon="landmark">
    Complete payout setup when Newie prompts you during onboarding or from the Home screen.

    Choose the country Newie asks for, then continue to Stripe to complete payout onboarding, including bank account, identity, and business details.

    See [Payouts](/guides/payouts) for payout schedules, payment clearing time, and Instant Payouts.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Share Your Service" icon="send">
    Common ways to take a customer through to payment include:

    * **Link.** Every service gets a customer-facing link (`share.newie.app/offerings/...`) you can paste anywhere: Instagram, email, SMS, iMessage, or your website.
    * **QR Code.** Download or display a QR code customers scan to open the same payment page.
    * **Tap to Pay.** Take an in-person card or digital wallet payment on a supported iPhone after Tap to Pay has been enabled for your account.

    See [Selling Overview](/guides/selling-sharing) for full details on each.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Take Your First Payment" icon="credit-card">
    When a customer pays, Newie automatically:

    * Sends them a New Purchase email (and a Welcome Email if you've configured one).
    * Adds the funds to your Newie payout balances while they clear.
    * Notifies you in Newie where notifications are enabled.

    Newie shows your current clearing and payout timing in Payouts. New accounts can have a first-payout verification period, and timing can also be affected by region, weekends, public holidays, account reviews, and payment method.

    Newie also supports Instant Payouts for eligible providers and eligible funds.

    See [Payouts](/guides/payouts) for clearing, payout schedules, bank-arrival details, and Instant Payouts.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Moving Existing Stripe Customers

If you already have lots of active customers or subscriptions in Stripe, contact Newie before manually canceling subscriptions or asking everyone to sign up again.

Newie can support guided Stripe migrations and help you plan how existing customers, billing, pricing, start dates, and customer communication should move into Newie.

See [Switch to Newie](/guides/switch-to-newie) for the full migration planning guide.
