Creating an Account

Overview

Creating a Looped Invoices account is quick and easy. You can sign up using your existing social media accounts, which means no need to remember another password!

Sign Up Process

Step 1: Visit Looped Invoices

To create an account, visit app.looped.sh and click on the Get Started button in the top right corner of the page.

Step 2: Choose Your Sign-In Method

Looped Invoices uses secure social authentication to make account creation simple and secure. You can create an account using one of the following providers:

• Google - Sign in with your Google account
• Apple - Sign in with your Apple ID
• GitHub - Sign in with your GitHub account

Simply click on your preferred provider and follow the authentication prompts.

Step 3: Grant Permissions

When you sign in with a social provider, you'll be asked to grant certain permissions:

• Basic profile information - Your name and email address
• Profile picture (optional) - Used for your account avatar

These permissions are necessary to create and personalize your account. Looped Invoices never posts on your behalf or accesses any information beyond what's needed for authentication.

Step 4: Account Creation Complete

Once you've successfully authenticated, your Looped Invoices account will be created automatically. You'll be redirected to the dashboard where you can start setting up your profile.
