TipPage accounts are created with your Twitch account - there's no separate password to remember, and no invite code needed.

1. **Sign up with Twitch**

    Go to [auth.tippage.com/signup](https://auth.tippage.com/signup) and click **Sign up with Twitch**. We use Twitch to verify it's really you - you'll be sent to Twitch to authorise, then straight back.

2. **Finish setting up**

    Fill in your first and last name. Your email comes from your Twitch account automatically - if it's wrong, update it on Twitch.

3. **Pick your TipPage URL**

    Choose your subdomain - this is where your tip page lives, like `yourname.tippage.com`. The field checks availability as you type. You can hook up a custom domain later in Settings.

4. **Create my TipPage account**

    Click the button and you're done. You'll land in the dashboard at [my.tippage.com](https://my.tippage.com).

## First login

The first time you open the dashboard, a short intro walks you through the three things that matter: connecting a payment processor, adding your overlay to OBS, and the chat bot. It also asks for your **currency** - pick the one you want tips in (you can change it later in Settings, Payments).

You can skip the intro at any point with **Skip intro**. Nothing in it is mandatory, but until you [connect Stripe or PayPal](/payments/link-stripe), viewers can't tip you.

:::note[Already have an account?]
Sign in at [auth.tippage.com/login](https://auth.tippage.com/login) with the same Twitch account. If you see "Account not found", you signed in with a Twitch account that doesn't have a TipPage yet - hit **Create an account** instead.
