# Quickstart

> Set up your studio in three steps: confirm your details, calibrate your prices, and see your quote desk live.

You'll walk through a three-step wizard the first time you sign in: confirm your business details, review two sample quotes against what you actually charge, and publish your price book. When you finish, your agent can quote customers 24/7 from the prices you locked in.

The whole thing takes about three minutes. Nothing is public until you publish — and even then, only what you choose.

## Before you start

You need a Kordless account. If you don't have one yet, sign up at [hq.kordless.ai](https://hq.kordless.ai). You'll be taken straight to the wizard.

## Step 1 — Review your details

When you sign in for the first time, the wizard asks whether you have a Google Business Profile.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose how to start">
    Pick **Yes — pull from Google** to look up your business by phone number or name and city. Kordless pre-fills your name, address, hours, and reviews. Pick **No — I'll answer a few questions** if you'd rather enter details by hand — four quick prompts, about a minute.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm or edit your information">
    On the **Review** step, check that your business name, category (your main service), and phone number are correct. Edit any field that looks off — these shape your website, forms, and contact section. Click **Continue** when everything looks right.
  </Step>
</Steps>

If Google can't find your business by phone, try searching by name and city. If that still doesn't match, switch to manual entry — you can connect Google later from **Settings → Integrations**.

## Step 2 — Calibrate your prices

This is the step that matters most. Kordless seeds your account with real auto-aesthetics pricing, then shows you **two sample quotes** — each with a low and high dollar amount. Your job is to adjust these to match what you actually charge.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Review the first sample quote">
    You'll see a service, package, and vehicle class — for example, *Full Front PPF on a Tesla Model 3*. The **Your low** and **Your high** fields are pre-filled. Change them to what you'd actually quote for that job.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the second sample quote">
    The second sample uses a different vehicle class so you can see how pricing scales. Adjust it the same way.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Lock in your prices">
    When both samples look right, click **These prices are right — lock them in**. This publishes your price book — the live agent now quotes from exactly these numbers. The wizard won't let you continue until you've published.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The deposit amount collected on every accepted quote is shown above the samples. You can change it later in your [price book](/quoting/price-book).

<Accordion title="What happens when I lock in?">
  Publishing makes your calibrated prices live. The agent uses them for every quote it sends — automatically for routine jobs, or held for your approval on high-value or unusual requests. You can edit prices anytime in your price book, and changes take effect immediately.
</Accordion>

## Step 3 — See your quote desk live

Once your prices are published, the wizard confirms your quote desk is ready.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Preview your website">
    Click **See your quote desk live** to open your website preview in a new tab. This is what customers will see — the chat widget, your services, and the quote flow. Nothing is live yet; this is just a preview.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open your HQ">
    Click **Open your HQ** to enter your dashboard. This is where you'll manage quotes, check your schedule (Bays), review customers (Garage), and handle money.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## If it doesn't work

<Accordion title="The wizard won't let me continue past Prices">
  You must click **These prices are right — lock them in** before the **Continue** button activates. If the button shows "Fix the numbers," one of your sample quotes has a high price lower than its low price — correct it and try again.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Provisioning failed during setup">
  If you see a red error at the bottom of the screen during the lookup or manual entry phase, click the option again to retry. Both paths are idempotent — retrying won't create duplicates.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="I can't finish the final step">
  If "We couldn't finish setting up your workspace" appears on the last step, click the button again. The finalize step is safe to retry — it won't double-provision anything.
</Accordion>
