3. You will be presented with the admin dashboard view upon successful account creation. To begin selling paid tickets, you must complete the first two of the following three steps. [Customization of your theatre](/for-theatres/customizing-your-theatre-settings.md), the final step, is strongly recommended, as it will ensure your theatre branding is present on your event pages.

   1. Connect your payment processor — [Square](/for-theatres/setup-your-theatre-account/connecting-your-square-account.md) for most theatres, or [Stripe](/for-theatres/setup-your-theatre-account/connecting-your-stripe-account.md) if that's what your account is set up for
   2. [Create a Show or Class](/for-theatres/creating-a-show-or-class.md)
   3. [Customize your Theater](/for-theatres/customizing-your-theatre-settings.md)
