# Quick start

> Follow the shortest path to configure your Hyperline account, test safely in sandbox, create your first billing objects, and issue your first invoice.

Use this guide when you are setting up Hyperline for the first time and want a clear path from an empty account to your first billing workflow.

## Setup path

1. [Configure your account](./configure-account) with your business information, brand assets, billing details, and default account settings.
2. Review [account settings](./account-settings) for invoicing entities, currencies, users, email settings, saved views, and formatting options.
3. Set up payment collection in the **Payments** section:
   * [Payment orchestration](../payments/orchestration)
   * [Payment methods](../payments/payment-methods)
4. Use [Sandbox and test mode](./sandbox) to test products, subscriptions, invoices, payments, and usage data without affecting production.
5. Create your catalog:
   * [Products and prices](../products/overview)
   * [Price books](../price-books/overview)
6. Create or import customers from [Customers](../customers/overview).
7. Create your first recurring billing flow with [Subscriptions](../subscriptions/overview), or prepare a commercial proposal with [Quotes](../quotes/overview).
8. Review generated invoices from [Invoices](../invoices/overview), then configure payment collection and reconciliation from [Payments](../payments/orchestration).

## Recommended first checks

* Your business and billing details are correct.
* Your invoicing entity settings match the legal entity issuing invoices.
* Your account has at least one payment collection path, such as a connected provider, bank transfer details, or an outside-of-Hyperline process.
* Your users have the right permissions before they create customer, subscription, invoice, or settings changes.
* Your sandbox flow has been tested before production billing starts.

<Tip>
  Keep the first setup narrow. Start with one product, one customer, and one subscription or quote. Once the first flow works end to end, add more pricing, payment, and automation rules.
