# Set up your Treasure account and profile

> Sign up at ontreasure.com, build your public profile with a username and bio, and connect Stripe so you can receive ticket sale payouts.

This page covers how to create your Treasure account, fill in your public profile, and connect Stripe for payouts. Completing these steps before your first event ensures your event pages look professional and that you can receive payments as soon as tickets sell.

## Create your account

Go to [ontreasure.com](https://ontreasure.com) and click **Sign up**. You can register with an email and password or sign in with Google.

After your first login, Treasure will prompt you to complete your profile. You can also reach it at any time by clicking your avatar in the top-right corner and selecting **Edit profile**.

## Set up your profile

Your profile is the public face of your account on Treasure. It appears on every event you host and is discoverable at `ontreasure.com/u/[username]`.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add your name and photo">
    Enter your **first name** and **last name**. These are required and are used on event pages and for payout records.

    Click the avatar placeholder to upload a **profile photo**. Supported formats are JPG and PNG. Treasure automatically optimizes the image on upload.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a username">
    Your **username** sets your permanent public URL:

    ```text theme={null}
    ontreasure.com/u/[username]
    ```

    Usernames can contain letters, numbers, underscores (`_`), periods (`.`), and hyphens (`-`). Usernames are unique — if your chosen name is taken, Treasure will let you know.

    <Tip>
      Choose a username that matches your brand or organization name. Your public profile page lists all your upcoming events, making it easy to share a single link with your audience.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a business name and bio">
    **Business name** (optional) — if provided, this replaces your personal name on event pages. Useful if you're organizing events under a brand or organization.

    **Bio** — a short description shown on your public profile. Tell visitors who you are, what kind of events you run, or where to find you elsewhere.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save your profile">
    Click **Save** at the bottom of the profile form. Your public profile at `ontreasure.com/u/[username]` will immediately reflect your changes.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Connect Stripe for payouts

Treasure uses [Stripe](https://stripe.com) to process ticket payments and send payouts to your bank account. You must connect a Stripe account before you can sell paid tickets.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open payout settings">
    Go to your host dashboard, open **Account Settings**, and navigate to the **Payouts** section.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your Stripe account">
    Click **Connect Stripe**. You'll be redirected to Stripe's onboarding flow, where you'll provide:

    * Business or personal details
    * Bank account information for payouts
    * Identity verification

    The process typically takes a few minutes. Once approved by Stripe, your account is authorized to accept payments through Treasure.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm your connection">
    Return to Treasure after completing Stripe onboarding. Your payout settings page will show your Stripe account as connected. You can now create paid ticket types on any event.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Free events do not require a Stripe connection. You only need Stripe if you plan to charge for tickets or vendor table bookings.
</Note>

<Warning>
  Payouts are sent on a schedule that depends on your plan — day-of-event for Basic, or weekly for Starter and Pro. Make sure your bank account details in Stripe are correct before your event goes live.
</Warning>
