# How to Start

To start using the CryptoCloud service and accepting cryptocurrency payments, follow a few simple steps:

1. Register in your personal account. Create an account to get access to project and payment management tools. Follow the [link to register](https://app.cryptocloud.plus/registration?lang=en).

2. [Add a project](/getting-started/add-project.md). After registration, go to your personal account and add a new project. It can be your website, online store, online school or other platform where you want to accept cryptocurrency payments.

3. [Perform the integration](/integration/integration-methods.md). Choose a convenient way of integration: via API, Host2Host (H2H), HTML widget or a ready-made CMS plugin. Detailed integration instructions are available in the developer documentation.

4. [Test the integration](/integration/testing-integration.md). After setting up the project and integration, you can create a test invoice and check how the payment process works on your platform. To do this, create an invoice by navigating to payment on your website and test the correctness of the integration.

5. Start accepting payments. Once the integration is set up and tested, make sure that all fields in the project are filled in correctly. Then send a request to disable the test mode — it will take up to 24 hours from the moment of sending. The status of the application can be tracked in your personal account. After approval, you can start accepting cryptocurrency payments on your website or platform.<br>

6. Promote the new payment option. To increase the number of cryptocurrency payments and build customer trust, use branded elements (payment icons and buttons) as well as marketing materials provided by CryptoCloud. [The brand guide](/integration/guideline.md) will help you style all elements consistently and highlight that your business accepts cryptocurrency payments through a reliable partner.
