# Creator Onboarding Process If you’ve decided to become a creator, the onboarding process is designed to be simple and straightforward. There’s no long setup and nothing you can “mess up.” You’ll be guided step by step, and you can always come back to adjust things later. *** #### What onboarding includes When you go through creator onboarding, you’ll: * Confirm that you want to become a creator * Choose a plan that fits your needs * Set up the basics of your creator profile * Get access to creator tools like deal management and Link-in-Bio Most creators complete onboarding in just a few minutes. *** #### What you *don’t* need to do upfront You don’t need to: * Add deals immediately * Have brand partnerships ready * Configure everything perfectly You can onboard first, then take your time setting things up. *** #### What happens after onboarding Once onboarding is complete: * Your account is upgraded to a creator account * You keep all user features you already had * Creator tools become available immediately From there, you’re free to add deals, customize your Link-in-Bio, or explore analytics whenever you’re ready. *** #### Can I pause or change things later? Yes — always. You can: * Add or remove deals at any time * Update your profile and settings * Change your plan if your needs evolve Creator onboarding is the start, not a commitment to a fixed setup. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
