# Create your store

> Sign up, pick your game, and set up the store address

A Gamecart account can own up to 10 stores. Each store has its own products, payments, and server connections.

## Create an account

1. Go to [dash.gamecart.gg](https://dash.gamecart.gg) and click **Sign up**.
2. Enter your email and click **Continue**.
3. Enter the 6-digit code that Gamecart sent to your email.
4. Fill in your name and password, then click **Create Account**.
5. Sign in with the new account.

Every sign-in asks for a code sent to your email. Check **Trust this browser for 30 days** to skip the code on that browser.

## Pick your game

After you sign in for the first time, the dashboard opens the store setup.

1. Under **Game**, select the game your server runs: **Minecraft**, **Hytale**, **FiveM**, or **Other / Generic**.
2. Click **Continue**.

The game decides which delivery methods and command defaults the store offers. You can't change it later.

## Fill in the store details

1. **Store name**: the name buyers see. Use 3 to 32 characters.
2. **Default currency**: the currency for every price and payment. Choose USD, BRL, EUR, or GBP.
3. **Subdomain**: the address of your storefront, such as `blockhaven.gamecart.gg`. The dashboard fills it from the store name and tells you whether it is available.
4. Click **Create Store**.

</Frame>

<Warning>
  You can't change the currency after the store is created. Pix and Mercado Pago only work on stores that use BRL, so pick BRL if you plan to use them.
</Warning>

A subdomain uses 3 to 32 lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. It can't start or end with a hyphen. You can change it later in **Settings > Domain**, or [use your own domain](/tutorials/store-setup/custom-domain).

## Next steps

When the store is ready, the dashboard opens on its home page. The store picker in the top left switches between your stores.
