# Account Setup

> Connect your golf booking platform accounts

AutoTee needs access to your booking platform accounts to book tee times on your behalf.

## Supported Platforms

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Chronogolf" icon="golf-ball-tee">
    One account for all courses
  </Card>

  <Card title="ForeUp" icon="golf-ball-tee">
    Account per course or course group
  </Card>

  <Card title="EZLinks" icon="golf-ball-tee">

  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Adding an Account

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Accounts Tab">
    Navigate to the **Accounts** tab in the navigation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select a Course">
    Search for the course you want to book and select it. The platform is determined automatically.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter Credentials">
    Enter your email/username and password for the course's booking platform.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test Connection">
    We'll verify the credentials work before saving. You'll see a success message when verified.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Payment Card Credentials

Some courses require payment at the time of booking (e.g., Torrey Pines, Bethpage). For these courses, you can store your credit card details with your account so AutoTee can complete the payment automatically.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add or Edit Account">
    Open the account form for a course that requires payment at booking.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter Card Details">
    Fill in the credit card fields:

    * Card number
    * Expiration month and year
    * CVV
    * Billing zip code
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save Account">
    Your card details are encrypted and stored securely alongside your account credentials.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  Card details are only needed for courses that charge a booking fee at the time of reservation. Most courses don't require this — you'll see a note in the form when it's needed.
</Info>

<Warning>
  These are your payment credentials for the **golf course's booking system**, not for AutoTee billing. AutoTee billing uses Stripe separately.
</Warning>

## Email Verification (IMAP) for 2FA

Some courses (like Bethpage State Park) require email verification during the tee time reservation process. AutoTee can automatically retrieve the verification code from your email inbox to complete the booking.

See our [Email Verification (2FA) guide](/docs/guides/email-verification) for detailed setup instructions.

**Quick overview:** You add IMAP credentials (email host, email address, and an app password) to your account. When the course sends a verification code during the booking process, AutoTee reads it from your inbox and submits it automatically.

## Account Security

<Info>
  Your credentials are encrypted using industry-standard AES-256 encryption before being stored. We only use them to book tee times on your behalf.
</Info>
