[Getting started](https://help.blaze.me/can/home/getting-started?hsLang=en) # Getting Started | Setting up your BLAZE account Welcome to BLAZE POS. We wrote this article to be your best starting point to get your store up and running.   ### Step 1 Before you receive your live account details, sign up [here](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdpd0d6IVM2zpaUborfrkMVbon7htwdjebkolC6a-K6I4zIvg/viewform) for free online training on our BLAZE University. It will help you get accustomed to the system's core workflows and avoid first-time mistakes. As an Owner or Manager, once you have completed your training our customer success team will provide you with live login credentials (make sure you change your password after your first successful login). For any employees completing BLAZE University, you will want to reach out to a manager to get the appropriate access. ### Step 2 Log into your dashboard and go through your company settings in the **Company \> Settings** tab. Make sure that you understand each option and select the right ones for your business. You can learn more about BLAZE's company settings [here](https://help.blaze.me/can/home/settings-general?hsLang=en). **Step 3** Your store will have multiple employees logging into the BLAZE dashboard to perform various duties. As the store manager, it's important to think about their user accounts and permission levels before live operations. 1. Configure your security roles and permissions in the **Employees \> Security roles** tab. 2. Add employees in the **Employees \> Employee list** tab. You can learn more about BLAZE's employee and security role settings [here](https://help.blaze.me/can/home/how-to-add-employees?hsLang=en). **Step 4** Before you can start adding products, it's important to set up the following: 1. Double-check your taxes in the **Settings \> Taxes** tab. Tax groups are automatically created for you upon company creation, but it's important to double-check that they fit your needs for your province. 2. Add categories in the **Products \> Categories** tab. All cannabis products must be attached to a Health Canada-approved compliance category. 3. Add vendors and brands in the **Products \> Brands & Vendors** tab. Some examples of vendors and brands can be OCS, BCLDB, Aurora, Canopy, etc. **Note:** when you add products, we recommend adding the vendor and brand at the same time for brand-based reporting. **Your BLAZE account is now fully set up and ready for use!**  -
