Prerequisites
To use Archetype, you will need to sign up for two accounts:
- Archetype
The thing that makes API authorization and billing easy - Stripe
Archetype uses Stripe for payment processing
Sign up for Archetype
- Go to <https://app.archetype.dev/auth/signup> to signup for a new account.
- Use your Email for username.
- Set the Password to something hard to guess.
- Click on Register button.

- Verify your email address by clicking on the confirmation email sent to your inbox.

- Click on Start

Create Stripe account
If you already have a Stripe account, you can skip this step.
Setting up a Stripe account is more involved. You will need to provide them your mailing address and contact information, but a bank account is not immediately necessary.
- Go to <https://dashboard.stripe.com/register> to signup for a Stripe account.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to go through the rest of the signup process.

Keep this account handy and we will use it to connect in the next steps.
