# Why can't I take my website live yet?

> The Go Live button stays disabled until your payment processing is verified and finalized — here's what to finish.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * **Go Live** stays disabled until your payment processing is both **verified** and **finalized**.
  * A banner at the top of Website Builder tells you payment setup is required before the site can go live — otherwise visitors could start a registration but couldn't pay.
  * Complete verification, then **Finalize Setup** to create your payout account and unlock publishing.
</Note>

If the **Go Live** button in Website Builder is greyed out, your club hasn't finished payment processing setup yet. A site that can't take money would let families start a registration and then hit a dead end at checkout, so publishing stays locked until your payment setup is complete.

## What you'll see

* **Go Live disabled with a tooltip.** Hovering the button explains that verification must be completed before publishing.
* **An amber banner** at the top of Website Builder: "Payment processing must be set up before this site can go live," with a **Set up payments** link to payment onboarding.

## How to fix it

Head to your payment onboarding and complete the verification steps. Verification alone isn't enough: once you're verified, select **Finalize Setup** to create your payout account — only then does **Go Live** become active. See the related articles below for each step. Then return to Website Builder and publish.
