No. You don't need to create an account before buying a GravityKit license. Your account is created automatically when you check out, using the email address you enter under **Billing Details**. There is no separate registration page to fill out first.

## Buying for the first time

- Choose a plan on the [pricing page](https://www.gravitykit.com/pricing/) and add it to your cart.
- On the [checkout](https://www.gravitykit.com/checkout/) page, enter your email address and billing details, then complete payment. The email you enter here becomes your GravityKit account.
- That's it. Your account, license key, and product downloads are all set up as part of the purchase.

When your order completes, you'll receive an email confirming that your GravityKit account has been created.

## Signing in after your purchase

To reach your account, sign in at the [sign-in page](https://www.gravitykit.com/sign-in/). From there you can access your downloads, license keys, plugin updates, and subscriptions (see [Your GravityKit Account page](https://www.gravitykit.com/docs/general-help/billing/your-gravityview-account/) for a tour of what's available). If you ever can't sign in, use the **Forgot password?** link on the sign-in page.

## If you already have an account

If you've purchased from us before, choose **Already have an account? Sign in** at checkout so your new order is tied to your existing account. If you're not sure whether you already have an account, use the **Forgot password?** link on the sign-in page rather than creating a second one.
