Getting started

From signing up to your first bill, in about five minutes.

Steps

  1. Register with your business name, your name, a username and a password. Add your email so you can reset the password later.
  2. Sign in with your username, not your email. The welcome email tells you what it is.
  3. Open the confirmation link we email you. FastBilling sends mail only to an address that has been confirmed.
  4. Choose a plan. Every plan is free for 30 days and no card is needed.
  5. Add your first party — a customer or a supplier. A name is enough to start.
  6. Open Sale (or New Bill on the computer), choose the party, add what was sold, and save.
  7. Close the bill. The party's balance updates and the bill gets its number.

Good to know

  • A party is not marked as customer or supplier for good. You can sell to and buy from the same party, even on the same bill.
  • An open bill can still be changed. A closed bill is final and counts in every report.
  • Email not confirmed? The dashboard shows a notice with a Send confirmation link button. The link works for 24 hours.
  • Until your email is confirmed you get no daily report, no plan or payment emails, no password reset link and no new Master PIN by email. If you forget your password meanwhile, an admin resets it from Users.
  • Changing the email address on a user means it must be confirmed again.
