# Set Up Your Account

Your Simple Booth account is where you manage billing, configure your booth settings, and store your photos. This step covers creating that account and making sure your software is active.

***

### Create your Account

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Choose a plan

Compare features on the [plans](https://www.simplebooth.com/plans) page. Then choose the plan that fits your events.

After you verify your account, a [free trial](https://docs.simplebooth.com/billing/software/free-trial) starts automatically, so you can use the trial to explore each software plan's features in addition to the comparison chart on the plans page. 
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Create your account

Create and verify an account with your (or your team's) email address at <https://app.simplebooth.com/signup>

Your trial is active the moment you verify your account, so you can start building right away.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Start your subscription

The trial limits you to 15 photos per day, so before your first event you'll need to subscribe to a plan. When you're ready, start your subscription on your [billing page](https://www.simplebooth.com/billing/subscription).
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

***

### Already purchased your software?

If you bought your software through our sales team or as part of a HALO hardware order, you don't need to pay again. Your license isn't activated automatically, so once your account is created, reply to your payment confirmation email and our team will activate it for you.

{% hint style="info" %}
Not sure whether your subscription is active? Sign in and open your [billing page](https://www.simplebooth.com/billing/subscription). If you're asked to choose and pay for a plan, your subscription isn't active yet.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.simplebooth.com/onboarding-guide/set-up-your-account.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
