## 01 Create your account

Two minutes, and no payment details. Your 7-day trial starts when you finish.

1.  Go to the sign-up page and enter your full name, business name and work email.
2.  Choose a password of at least 12 characters.
3.  Read and accept the Terms, the Privacy Policy and the Data Processing Agreement — each opens as a link.
4.  Choose **Create account**. No card is needed yet. Octyn records the agreements you accepted, so they are not asked for again.

## 02 Tell us about the business

These details go on the invoices Octyn sends you.

1.  Fill in the billing address. Your state decides whether your Octyn invoices carry CGST + SGST or IGST.
2.  Choose **Continue**, then pick your plan and the number of outlets. Plans are priced per outlet.
3.  Review the summary and choose **Start the trial**. Your station is created and a setup checklist shows what to do next.

## 03 Your outlet

An outlet is one pump site. You can add more at any time.

1.  Give the outlet a name and a short code. The code appears on reports and credit slips.
2.  Pick your oil company (brand) and enter the licence numbers an inspector asks for.
3.  Choose **Save**.

## 04 Products and pumps

What the outlet sells, and which nozzle sells it.

1.  Tick the fuels this outlet sells — for example petrol and diesel — and choose **Save selection**.
2.  Choose **Add unit** to add a dispensing unit (DU).
3.  Add each nozzle on the unit, pick the product it dispenses, and enter its current totalizer reading. The first shift opens on these readings.

## 05 Opening stock

What is in the tanks today, from the dip.

1.  Enter the opening stock for each fuel from today's dip reading and choose **Record**. Stock is valued from this point on.

## 06 Your oil company

The supplier, and your account with it.

1.  Add your oil company as a supplier and choose **Save**. Tanker invoices are booked against this supplier.
2.  Open its account. Every invoice and payment with the oil company runs through this account.
3.  Under **Your position with the company today**, choose whether you have an advance with them or owe them, and enter the amount from your latest oil-company statement.
4.  Choose **Save account**. The account opens at your real balance, so the first tanker invoice draws it down correctly.

## 07 Prices, shifts and the first attendant

The last three things before the first shift.

1.  Set today's pump price for each fuel and choose **Save price**. Every litre sold is priced from this.
2.  Add your shifts — for example Morning and Evening — with their start and end times.
3.  Add your first attendant as a staff member and choose **Save**. Attendants do not need a login; they use a shift PIN.
4.  Open their record, choose **Set PIN**, and set a four-digit PIN. Tell them privately. They use it to take a nozzle when a shift opens.

**Done.** The station is ready to trade. Open the first shift whenever the pumps are ready — see “Run a shift”. [Open it in Octyn](https://app.octynerp.com/setup).
