Getting Started

Getting started with ShoSoft

Set up your venue and create your first event in under an hour.

How do I set up my account?

It’s simple and easy to get started on ShoSoft — most venues create their first event in under an hour. You don’t need to configure your whole account before you start; build it out as you go.

Steps

  1. Create your ShoSoft account and name your venue.

  2. Create your first event by clicking “Create Event” on your Dashboard — just a name and date are required.

  3. Add the spaces you’ll need for that event — you don’t need your full space list yet.

  4. Add any inventory you’re tracking, like tables, AV gear, or linens.

  5. Invite your team and assign roles so the right people have access.

  6. Connect Stripe when you’re ready to send invoices and collect payments.

Good to know: Every step above can be done later. ShoSoft saves your progress automatically, and an incomplete setup never blocks you from using the platform.
