Sign up at business.didit.me, build a workflow, and launch your first identity verification - no credit card and no sales call required.

Sign up at [business.didit.me](https://business.didit.me), create a workflow,
then press **New verification** and open the link yourself. That is a complete
end-to-end verification with no code, no card, and no sales call.

You can create a Didit account and run your first verification yourself, in a few minutes, without talking to sales.

1. **Sign up**

   Go to [business.didit.me](https://business.didit.me) and sign up with Google, Microsoft, GitHub or Apple, your company's single sign-on (**Continue with SSO**), or a work email and password. With email, you confirm it with an 8-digit code that expires after 10 minutes, and can then add a passkey for faster sign-in (or **Skip for now**).

2. **Create your organization**

   Your **organization** is where your team manages workflows, API keys, and verification activity. When you first sign in, you're offered any invitation waiting for your email (**Accept and open**), or asked to create an organization, and then to name your first **application** and choose what it's for. A **Get started** checklist at the bottom of the sidebar then walks you through the rest.

3. **Build a workflow**

   In the console sidebar, open **Identity verification → Workflows** and click **New workflow**. Pick a template (for example, standard KYC) and toggle the checks you want - ID document, liveness, face match, AML, and more. No code required. See [building a verification workflow](https://help.didit.me/workflows/build-a-verification-workflow) for more detail.

4. **Launch a verification**

   Press **New verification** (on Home, the verifications list, or a person's
   profile), pick a **workflow**, add your own ID for the person under **Vendor
   data**, and press **Create verification**. Then send the link by email, copy it,
   or show the QR code. The **Single check** tab runs one check, such as AML
   screening, without a whole workflow.

5. **Check the result**

   Once the session completes, you'll see the result in **Identity verification → User verifications**. If you've connected a webhook, you'll also get it pushed to your backend automatically - see [getting results with webhooks](https://help.didit.me/integration/webhooks-basics).

## Test it without spending credits

Switch the console to **Sandbox** with the pill under your application's name,
create a sandbox API key there, and use it. Every check is mocked, nothing is
billed, and you can force any outcome you want. Sandbox keeps its own data,
keys, webhooks and lists, apart from Live.

## Where your API key is

**Developers → API keys**, scoped to the application you have selected. Every
application has a **Primary** key, and you can create more, one per service, each
with its own access and expiry. A key is a
server-side secret: never in frontend code or an app bundle.

## What your free plan covers

The Free plan adds **$10 of credit on the 1st of every month**, usable on any check, about 30 full KYC checks at list price. It is for organizations that signed up with a work email, it expires at the end of the month, and it replaced the old monthly free checks. **Billing and plan** shows your credit for the month.

## If something looks wrong

If you sign in and the console looks empty, shows an error, or verification history seems missing, this is not something you did - it's worth reporting rather than troubleshooting on your own. See [logging in and recovering access](https://help.didit.me/account-organization/login-and-account-access), or reach out to support directly so the team can check your organization.
