# Getting Started

**0xpay** provides small and large-scale businesses with a cryptocurrency payment processing solution, enabling them to accept payments for their services online through a Merchant. 

### Account Creation

To start using any functionality, you have to create a personal account using a web application. An account can be created [here](https://my.0xpay.app/auth/login).

After registration, 0xpay will generate your personal cryptocurrency addresses enabling you to receive & send cryptocurrency transactions. You'll also be able to create merchants, integrate them on your website and start processing crypto a little less than 2 minutes.

In order to authorize your requests to 0xpay public API, you'll need to obtain a private key from your Merchant settings page. Learn how to set up your Merchant on the next page.
