Create and setup an account

Registering and selling with Tentary is easy. In the following article, we will show you how to create a new account at Tentary and how to set it up.

Register a new account

Open the registration page to create your account with Tentary. Enter your name, e-mail address and a secure password in the fields provided. By clicking on the "Create Account" button, you accept our Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy and Data Processing Agreement, and create your Tentary account.

To confirm your account, we will then e-mail you with a link to activate your account.

Click on the link in the e-mail.

Once you have confirmed your e-mail address, you will get access to your Tentary account and land in the dashboard. On the left side, you will see the menu that gives you access to the different subpages and features.

To log out of your account later, click on your name in the upper right corner and then on the "Log out" link.

Create your first product

Before you continue setting up your account, you can already try out almost all of Tentary's features. The only thing you can't do before you have completed all onboarding steps is publishing products.

The best way to start is to create a test product. This way you can quickly see what features Tentary offers you for selling your products. To do this, either click the "Create Product" button in the Setup Checklist on the Dashboard or click the "Products" link in the left menu and then click the "+ New Product" button.

A detailed explanation of all the functionalities on the products page can be found here: Create a new product.

Note: As long as your account is not fully activated, you can only save products as drafts.

Enter your address data

After you have familiarized yourself with Tentary, you should complete the remaining steps to activate your account and start selling your products.

First, enter your complete address. This address is shown on customer order confirmations and on invoices for the Tentary transaction fees. Navigate to the settings and click on "Edit billing address".

On the next page, enter your address information in the appropriate fields. You can also enter an e-mail address for customer inquiries and make settings regarding the tax regulations that apply to you.

Note: Since you are selling on your own behalf with Tentary, your address will be displayed on the sales pages of your products. This is legally required because buyers need to know who they are buying from.

Link a payment method

As mentioned before, with Tentary you sell in your own name. This gives you some advantages, such as more flexibility in selling, you always receive your earnings directly to your own account and your customers are really your customers.

To make this possible, it is necessary that you have your own account with payment providers and link them to your Tentary account. For this purpose, we work with PayPal and Stripe.

If you link a PayPal account to Tentary, your customers can pay for products via PayPal. If you link a Stripe account to Tentary, your customers can pay for products with a credit card.

Navigate to the settings and click on "Configure PayPal" and/or "Configure Stripe". Explanations and help for the configuration of each are linked on the respective pages. As soon as a payment method or payment provider is set up, the status changes to "active".

Note: PayPal and Stripe are two of the world's largest payment providers and ensure that payments are processed securely and smoothly. It is not required that you already have an account with PayPal or Stripe. You can easily open them during the configuration process on Tentary.

Publish a product

Once you've entered your billing address and configured at least one payment method, your Tentary account is ready to go. You can start selling and earning money now!

Go to the products page and select one of your previously created products. Change the product status from "Draft" to "Live" and save to publish your product. You will then be shown a link to your sales page, which you can share on social media or integrate on your website.

You have completed all steps of the onboarding process and are ready to sell products with Tentary. We wish you much success!

There is much more to come! We are constantly improving Tentary and adding new features to help you sell your products. For example, you can customize the design of your sales pages, create discounts code, and set your own terms and conditions.
