# Provisioning
> The process of configuring and activating VoIP services and endpoints

Provisioning sets up VoIP accounts, configures endpoints, and activates services for subscribers.

## What is provisioning?
In telecommunications, provisioning is the process of preparing and configuring network resources, user accounts, and endpoint devices so that a subscriber can use a service. For VoIP, this includes setting up SIP credentials, server addresses, codec preferences, and feature permissions.

## Automated provisioning
[Auto-provisioning](/voip-glossary/auto-provisioning/) eliminates manual configuration by pushing settings to devices or apps automatically. Methods include [QR code scanning](/voip-glossary/qr-provisioning/), URL-based provisioning, and zero-touch provisioning — all supported by [Acrobits Cloud Softphone](/cloud-softphone/).
