# Create an Upstack Data account

> Sign up for Upstack Data at app.upstackdata.com/signup to start capturing server-side events from your store.

Creating an Upstack account is the first step. You'll set up your workspace, choose a plan, and connect your store. The whole process takes about 5 minutes.

## Sign up

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to the Upstack signup page">
    Open [app.upstackdata.com/signup](https://app.upstackdata.com/signup) in your browser.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create your account">
    Enter your email and choose a password. You'll receive a verification email — click the link to confirm your address.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up your workspace">
    Enter your company name and basic details. The workspace name appears in the Upstack dashboard and on billing receipts.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a plan">
    Select a plan that matches your store volume. You can change plans later from the billing settings page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a payment method">
    Enter card details through Stripe. Upstack offers a 21-day free trial — your card is not charged until the trial ends.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  **Already have an account?** Sign in at [app.upstackdata.com](https://app.upstackdata.com) instead. If you previously installed Upstack Data through the Shopify App Store, your account was created during the install — sign in with the email you used.
</Tip>

## What happens next

Once your account is active, you'll connect your store as a data source. The next step depends on your platform:
