--- title: 'Getting started' description: 'Create an account, set up your shop and bring your customers and products over from another system.' url: 'https://repender.nl/docs/getting-started' last_updated: '2026-11-10' --- > Docs index: https://repender.nl/docs/llms.txt · MCP: https://repender.nl/docs/mcp · Skill: https://repender.nl/docs/skill.md # Getting started ## Create an account No account yet? [Start your free trial](https://repender.nl/signup). The trial is free for 30 days and needs no payment method. Enter your name, company name, email address, country, phone number and a password. Then confirm your email address with the link Repender sends you. During the trial you can try every feature. Ready to subscribe before the 30 days are over? You can do that at any time, and you do not lose your remaining trial days. Your first payment is taken right away and covers the first month or year after your trial would have ended. The next payment follows one month or year after that day. If your trial ends without a subscription, your account is paused and the booking plugin on your website stops taking bookings. Everything you set up is kept, and subscribing switches it all back on. Prefer to see Repender first? [Request a demo](https://repender.nl/demos/create). - Which languages and countries?

See the [FAQ](https://repender.nl/docs/faq.md#i-did-not-get-the-verification-email). ## Set up your shop When you sign in for the first time, the **Dashboard** shows a short checklist. Work through it from top to bottom and your shop is ready to take repairs. 1. **Add shop details** Open **Settings**, then [General info](https://repender.nl/dashboard/shop/edit) under **Shop**. Fill in your address, phone number and email address. Your logo goes here too: Repender puts it on emails to customers and on documents such as invoices and quotations. 2. **Set up your repair pricing** Open **Settings**, then [Categories](https://repender.nl/dashboard/repair-rules) under **Repairs**. A short wizard asks which devices you repair and how much warranty you give. Repender then creates your repair categories. You can fine-tune prices later, see [repair pricing](https://repender.nl/docs/repair-pricing.md). 3. **Create your first repair** Open **Repairs** and click [New repair](https://repender.nl/dashboard/repair-orders/create). Pick a device, pick one or more repairs and save. See [repairs](https://repender.nl/docs/repairs.md). 4. **Add booking to your website** Install the Repender plugin on your website so customers can book a repair themselves. Open **Settings**, then [Installation](https://repender.nl/dashboard/plugin-settings/installation) under **Plugin**, and follow the steps. See [online booking](https://repender.nl/docs/online-booking.md). Each step gets a check mark on the Dashboard once it is done. Need help along the way? The Dashboard has a getting started video, or [contact us](https://repender.nl/contact). ## Switching from another system Bring your customers and products with you, so you can start right away. - **Customers**: on the [Customers](https://repender.nl/dashboard/customers) page, click **Import**. See [import customers](https://repender.nl/docs/customers.md#import-customers). - **Products**: on the [Products](https://repender.nl/dashboard/skus) page under **Stock**, click **Import**. Importing products is part of the Pro plan. Both work the same way: download the sample file, fill it with your data and upload it. Rows that cannot be imported come back in a file with the reason for each one, so you can fix them and try again. ## Find your way around The menu on the left holds everything you use day to day: - **Dashboard**: your checklist and upcoming appointments. - **POS**: the till, to sell products and check out repairs. - **Sales**: every sale, invoice and receipt. - **Repairs**: all repairs, as a board or a table. - **Appointments**: your calendar. - **Orders**: products you ordered for a customer. - **Customers**: your customer list. - **Stock**: parts, products, the order list, and adding or removing stock. - **Statistics** and **Settings**. You only see the menu items your plan and your user role allow. ## Plans What you can use depends on your plan. See [pricing](https://repender.nl/pricing) for what each plan costs. | | Basic | Plus | Pro | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Repairs, customers, parts and stock | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Appointments and opening hours | | Yes | Yes | | Own email and WhatsApp templates, automations | | Yes | Yes | | Users and user roles | | Yes | Yes | | Website plugin, dynamic pricing, statistics | | Yes | Yes | | POS, sales, products and orders | | | Yes | Cannot see a menu item?
