## Before You Begin

You'll need:

    2. You'll land on the **Welcome to Maple** screen
    3. Click **Get Started** to begin setting up your merchant account
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose how to proceed with onboarding">
    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/maple-36/ln2Do9Gy5iuClQc6/images/complete-on-my-own.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=ln2Do9Gy5iuClQc6&q=85&s=d0ca2b04bdf8aac3b222a3a931580b9a" alt="" width="2830" height="1286" data-path="images/complete-on-my-own.png" />

    You'll be asked how you'd like to complete onboarding:

    * **Invite A Team Member** — send the onboarding to a manager to complete on your behalf

    Select your preferred option and click **Continue**.

    **Tip:** If you're the owner or manager setting things up directly, select "Complete On My Own" to get through this fastest.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your legal business name">
    Enter the **legal name of your business entity** — for example, *Maple's Burgers LLC*. This is used for your merchant account and billing records. It will **not** be visible to your customers.

    Enter your restaurant's website URL if you have one. Maple uses this to learn more about your business and tailor the AI to your needs.
