This guide takes you from no account to a live event and your first scanned ticket. In MJX Events the whole set-up runs from your phone or computer.

::: steps
### Create your organizer account
Open [Sign up](~/signup). Under **1. Pick your plan**, choose Free, Plus or Pro. Under **2. Your details**, fill in **Your name**, **Email**, your mobile and, if you like, **Organisation / brand (optional)** and **City (optional)**.

Tap [[Send code]] next to the mobile and type the 6-digit code from WhatsApp. Then create the account (for Plus or Pro you pay in the payment window). You are signed in straight away.

### Sign in next time
Open [Sign in](~/login). Choose **Mobile** or **Email**, tap [[Send me a code]] and type the 6-digit code. It comes on WhatsApp and by email.

### Create your event

![Your events on a phone with the New event button marked](media/get-started/quickstart-organizers-1.jpg "Your events › New event")
On **Your events** tap [[New event]]. Under **What's the event called?** type its name and tap [[Continue]]. **Setup** opens on a draft with one free "General" ticket type.

### Fill in Setup
Open each section by tapping it. Changes save by themselves — there is no Save button.
- **Basics** — **Event title**, **Starts (IST)**, **Ends (optional)**, **Venue**, **City**, **Cover image (optional)**, **Description** and **Where do you sell tickets?** (Online / Offline).
- **Tickets** — name, **Price ₹ (0 = free)**, **Quantity** and **People** per ticket for each type.

See [Create an event](organisers/create-an-event) and [Ticket types and prices](organisers/ticket-types-and-prices).

### Add your bank account (paid events only)
Tap [[Set up payouts]] or open **Get paid** from the account menu. Fill in the payout details and your bank account. See [Get paid](organisers/get-paid).

### Publish

![Event Setup on a phone with the Publish section marked](media/get-started/quickstart-organizers-2.jpg "My events › your event › Setup › Publish")
In Setup → **Publish**, tap [[Publish event]]. You will see "Your event is live. Share this link:".

### Share the link
Copy the link, or share it on WhatsApp. On the **Overview** tab you can also make a poster for WhatsApp Status. See [Event page and sharing](organisers/event-page-and-sharing).

### Set up the gate

![Scanner tab on a phone with the Send to gatekeeper on WhatsApp button marked](media/get-started/quickstart-organizers-3.jpg "My events › your event › Scanner")
Open the event's **Scanner** tab. Send the scanner link and **Scanner PIN** to your gatekeeper with [[Send to gatekeeper on WhatsApp]]. They open it, type the PIN and scan. See [Check-in and scanning](organisers/check-in-and-scanning).
:::

> [!SUCCESS]
> Your event shows **Live** on **Your events**. When the first buyer pays, the sale appears on the event's **Overview** and **Attendees** tabs, and the gate shows **VALID** when their QR is scanned.

## Questions people ask

### How long does it take to create an event?

About 3 minutes for the name, date, venue and ticket types. Photos, description and extras can be added later in Setup.

### Do I need bank details before I publish?

Only for paid online tickets. A free event, or an event that sells offline only, can be published without them.

### Why can't I sign up with my email?

Temporary or throwaway email addresses are refused. Use your own email, because you sign in with it.
