# Getting started

> Set up ParkSig and start managing parking permits

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

* A ParkSig account — sign up at [parksig.com](https://parksig.com)

## Set up your first parking location

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign in and open ParkSig">
    Sign in to your account and navigate to the ParkSig dashboard. You'll see a summary of your locations, spaces, and occupancy.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a parking location">
    Go to **Parking Locations** and click **Add Location**. Fill in the location details:

    * **Name** — a label for this location (e.g. "Main Street Lot")
    * **Address** — the full street address
    * **Total spaces** — the capacity of the lot
    * **Rates** — hourly, daily, and monthly pricing
    * **Features** — optional amenities like covered parking or EV charging
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure the parking flyer">
    In the same form, customize the **parking registration flyer** instructions. This text appears on the printed sign that directs visitors to scan a QR code and register their vehicle.

    Click **Create Location** when done.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Register a visitor">
    Go to **Visitor Registrations** and click **Register Visitor**. Enter the visitor's vehicle details and select the parking location. The permit is active immediately.
  </Step>
</Steps>
