Quick Start Guide

Step 1: Prepare & Activate License

After logging into the ZeroPack platform, purchase a license suitable for your intended site. You can choose either the Personal or Commercial plan on the Pricing page.

Before starting the deployment, verify your license by entering the issued serial key (e.g., ZPACK-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) and hit "Start Deploy".

Step 2: GitHub Integration & Authorization (Securing Your Code Ownership)

This is the first gateway of the onboarding modal.

1. Click the "Continue with GitHub" button.

2. A GitHub login window will appear. Enter your information and press Authorize.

- *💡 Why do we need this?*: Because we don't lock your code into a proprietary system. We deploy it strictly to "Your own Private GitHub Repository"! ZeroPack does not keep a backup of your source code on our servers.

Step 3: Vercel Integration (Connecting the Automated Hosting Server)

Right after GitHub integration, you will automatically move to the next step.

1. Click the "Connect Vercel" button.

2. When the Vercel login window pops up (usually signing in with your GitHub account), approve the authorization request.

- *💡 Why do we need this?*: So that ZeroPack can automatically generate a new project on the Vercel platform on your behalf, stitch it flawlessly with the GitHub source code we just secured, and fire up a 24/7 free server infrastructure instantly.

Step 4: Basic Site Setup (Naming & Language Selection)

Once both integrations are successfully authorized, you advance to the Project Creation step.

• Project Name: This will be used as the project's identifier slug. Only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens (-) are allowed. (e.g., \my-new-portfolio\)
• Language: Choose one of 15 available languages to populate your website's skeleton (Menus, default dummy text, etc.). You can update the codebase to support multiple languages.

Step 5: Fire the 1-Click Auto Deploy Trigger

After finishing the setup, click "Start Auto-Deploy" to watch the magic unfold.

1. Your single click tells the ZeroPack engine to automatically execute the following:

- Forking the Github Repository

- Creating a Vercel Project & Injecting Environment Variables

- Assigning Default Domain Logic

2. Once the setup steps finish, the Deployment Success screen appears. At this point, Vercel starts compiling (building) your site automatically.

3. A real-time build progress bar on-screen tracks Vercel's work — typically completes in 1–3 minutes.

4. While the build is running, a progress bar will be displayed on the screen instead of the "Visit My Site" button to guide your wait time.

5. When the build completely finishes and hits 100%, the "Visit My Site →" button finally activates and your unique URL is ready to open! 🎉
