# Quickstart

> Get up and running with CommissionKit in minutes

Get from zero to your first commission calculation in a few steps.

## Prerequisites

* A CommissionKit account (admin access)
* A workspace set up with at least one sales rep
* Deals ready to import or create

## Step 1: Add your first deals

Create deals manually or import them in bulk.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a deal">
    Navigate to **Deals** and click **Add Deal**. Enter the rep, deal name, amount, close date, and stage.

    ```text theme={null}
    Rep: Jane Smith
    Deal: Acme Corp Q3 Contract
    Amount: $50,000
    Stage: Closed Won
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Or import in bulk">
    Click **Bulk Import** and upload a CSV or XLSX file. CommissionKit parses the file and shows a preview where you can edit rows before importing.

    Download a template to see the expected column format.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Step 2: Create a commission plan

Plans define how commissions are calculated for each rep.

1. Go to **Settings → Plans**
2. Click **Create Plan**
3. Choose a plan type:
   * **Flat rate** — A fixed percentage on every deal
   * **Tiered** — Marginal rates that apply to portions of the deal as it passes each tier
   * **Accelerator** — A higher rate applied to the full deal amount when it exceeds a threshold
4. Set the rates and assign the plan to your reps

## Step 3: Run a calculation

1. Go to **Calculations**
2. Select a period (e.g., the month your deals closed in)
3. Click **Run Calculation**

CommissionKit processes all deals for that period, applies each rep's plan, and computes commissions.

## Step 4: Review and payout

1. Go to **Payouts** to see computed commissions
2. Adjust amounts if needed
3. Approve and mark as paid
