# Quickstart

> Set up your operation and create your first order.

This guide takes you from signing in to creating your first order in Terrace. It should take about ten minutes.

## Before you begin

* A Terrace account. If a teammate invited you, open the invitation link and set your password. If you're starting a new operation, [contact us at founders@terracetech.co](mailto:founders@terracetech.co?subject=Getting%20started%20with%20Terrace) and we'll get you set up.
* A phone, tablet, or computer with a browser. Terrace works on all three.

## Get started

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign in">
    Open Terrace and sign in with your email and password. Terrace opens to your [Dashboard](/guides/dashboard), or to a focused view if your role is field or trucking staff.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up your farm profile">
    Go to **Account** and confirm your operation's details: name, contact info, and pricing and fee defaults. These settings flow into every order and invoice you create.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a product">
    In **Inventory**, add at least one product with a unit and a price. Products are what you sell on orders and track as stock.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a customer">
    In **Customers**, add the person or business you're selling to. You can save their contacts, delivery addresses, and pricing tier for reuse on future orders.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create your first order">
    Go to **Orders** and tap **+ New Order**. Walk through the guided steps: pick the customer, add products, set delivery details, and review the summary. Save it, and your order appears on the Dashboard as an active order.
