# Onboarding & tutorials

Everything you need to go from a fresh sandbox account to billing real customers, in the order you'll actually do it.

---

## Before you start

Take 5 minutes to read [How Solvimon works](/platform-guides/getting-started/how-solvimon-works). It explains the building blocks (meters, events, products, pricing plans, subscriptions, invoices) and why setup follows the order below.

Solvimon has multiple interfaces; every step here can be done through any of them:

* **Desk** — the web UI, for configuring without code: [Production](https://desk.solvimon.com) or [Sandbox](https://test.desk.solvimon.com)
* **REST API** — full programmatic control; base URL `https://test.api.solvimon.com/v1/` (sandbox) or `https://api.solvimon.com/v1/` (production)
* **MCP Server** — query and manage your billing setup from Claude conversations

## The journey

#### API quickstart

Get your API key and make your first call. [Start here](/platform-guides/getting-started/onboarding-and-tutorials/api-quickstart).

#### Get to your first invoice

Build the complete billing chain: meter, product, pricing plan, customer, subscription, usage event, and a finalized invoice. [Follow the tutorial](/platform-guides/getting-started/onboarding-and-tutorials/get-to-first-invoice).

Want to go deeper on a specific part? [Configure your first meters and prices](/platform-guides/getting-started/onboarding-and-tutorials/configure-your-first-meters-and-prices) covers the configuration layer in detail, and [Bill your first B2C customer](/platform-guides/getting-started/onboarding-and-tutorials/bill-your-first-b2c-customer) covers the consumer flow with automatic payment collection.

#### Add billing UI with the SDKs

Embed checkout, invoices, and payment method management in your product instead of building them. [Using Solvimon's SDKs](/platform-guides/getting-started/onboarding-and-tutorials/using-solvimon-sdks).

#### Connect your systems and import data

Sync CRM/ERP data, connect payment providers, and bring products, customers, contracts, and historical usage over from your current system. [Integrations & importing data](/platform-guides/getting-started/onboarding-and-tutorials/integrations-and-importing-data).

#### Plan your go-live

Validate your configuration, pick a deployment strategy, and run the cutover. [Plan your go-live](/platform-guides/getting-started/onboarding-and-tutorials/plan-your-go-live).

## After go-live

Once you're billing, the deeper guides take over: [meter & usage event design](/platform-guides/meter-and-event-design/designing-meters-and-events) for evolving your usage model, and [pricing use-cases](/platform-guides/pricing-use-cases/monetizing-an-ai-agent) for worked pricing examples.
