01

What this path is for#

Starting somewhere new always raises the same question: where do I begin? This page answers it. It doesn't replace the other articles — it strings them together in the sequence that gets a new administrator from "what is this?" to confidently running an event, without wandering.

02

The path, step by step#

1
Understand what menta is

Start with Introduction to menta tech to get white-label resale and what menta does — and just as importantly, what it doesn't.

2
Learn how to talk about it

Read Brand positioning so your team can present official resale to fans and promoters the right way.

3
Sort out the categories

With Categories and eligibility you decide which tickets to open up for resale and which to leave out.

4
Set the rules

In General Rules you set availability, prices, and fees; with Assignment you make events inherit the right ruleset automatically.

5
Keep the operation safe

Go over the recommended practices that keep resale official, trusted, and traceable.

6
Decide when resale closes

With Closing the resale market you choose how long resale stays open, by type of event.

7
Set up your first event

Finish with the event setup checklist so nothing slips through before you go on sale.
