# How do I finish setup and put my club site live?

> Work through the first-run go-live checklist to brand your site, set up payments, and publish.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * Publishing your public site is **locked until payment setup is complete** — the checklist won't let you go live before then.
  * You can select **Go to my dashboard** to finish anytime. Payments and publishing never block finishing, because verification runs in the background and can take a day or two.
  * Branding and your homepage are completed before you reach the go-live checklist.
</Note>

After your club is created, first-run setup walks you through branding your site and building your homepage. Once those are done, you land on the **Go-live checklist**.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Brand your site">
    Set your logo and colors. This step shows as done once your branding is saved.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up your homepage">
    Add your headline and homepage sections so your public site has content.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up payments">
    Verify your business so you can accept payments. Select **Set up** to begin — see [How do I get verified to accept payments?](/club/get-set-up/get-verified-to-accept-payments). Until this is complete, the publish step stays locked.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish your site">
    Once payment setup is done, this row unlocks. Select **Go live** to make your public site visible. You can view it right from the checklist afterward.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Not ready to finish everything now? Select **Go to my dashboard** — onboarding completes and you can pick the remaining steps back up anytime. The checklist also suggests other optional ways to get set up.
