# Quick Start

> Launch your affiliate program in minutes — no technical setup.

This walkthrough mirrors the guided setup Afflo runs the first time you sign in. You can come back to any step later from **Settings** or **Integrations**.

## Before you start

* An email address for your admin account
* Your Shopify store admin login (if you use Shopify)
* A company domain if you want to send branded emails

## The seven setup steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose a plan">
    Pick a subscription that fits the number of affiliates, programs, and creator searches you expect. You can change plans later from **Settings → Billing**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create your organization">
    Enter your company name, a short description, and your industry. This is the workspace your team will share.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select your integrations">
    Tick the ecommerce and payment tools you plan to use (Shopify, Stripe, PayPal, and others). Afflo will walk you through each one.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect Shopify">
    If you chose Shopify, approve the install from your Shopify admin. Afflo then syncs your orders so sales can be attributed to partners.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add your sending domain">
    Enter a domain you own (like `yourbrand.com`) and add the DNS records Afflo shows you. Your outreach and partner emails will come from this domain.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invite your team">
    Send invites to teammates by email. You can set their role now or later from **Settings → Team**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Welcome">
    You're done. Click **Get Started** to open your Dashboard.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Any step can be skipped with **Skip** in the top-right and revisited later. Your progress is saved as you go.
</Tip>

## What to do next

With setup done, a good first-day checklist looks like this:

1. **Create your first program** in **Affiliate Programs** — set a commission and attribution window.
2. **Invite a few affiliates** from **Affiliates → Add Affiliate**, or share your public sign-up link.
3. **Watch the Dashboard** for your first clicks and conversions.
4. **Configure Payouts** under **Payouts → Provider Settings** so you're ready when commissions come due.
