What do I need before I set up my club?

Must know

US and Canada only. Uplifter signup is for clubs in the United States and Canada, and the plan you pick must match your club’s country.
Paid plans need a card. Paid plans ask for a payment method at signup and start a 30-day free trial. A free plan is active right away.
Payments need your legal name. To accept payments you confirm your registered legal business name, which must match your official registration exactly, then give Adyen (the payment company Uplifter uses to process card and bank payments and pay out to your bank) your business details, identity documents and a bank account.
Start verification early. It usually takes 1-2 business days, and your site can’t go live until it’s done.

What to gather. Have these ready and you can get through signup and the three setup steps in one sitting.

Stage	Have ready	Required?
Signup: Account	Your Name, an Email Address you can open right away (for a verification code), and a password of 12+ characters with upper case, lower case, a number and a special character.	Yes
Signup: Organization	Organization Name, Organization Email, Phone, Country, Street Address, City, State or Province, Postal Code (a valid US ZIP or Canadian postal code) and Timezone, plus a Subdomain for your web address: 3 to 63 lowercase letters, numbers or hyphens, not starting or ending with a hyphen.	Yes, every field
Signup: Plan	A plan, and Monthly or Yearly (Yearly only on plans that offer it). Paid plans add a Payment Method and Billing Address.	Yes
Signup: Review Your Organization	Confirm you’re 18 or older and accept the terms, then select Create Organization.	Yes. Text-message consent is optional
Brand your site	A logo (a transparent PNG is recommended), an optional 32x32px favicon, and a Primary Color and Secondary Color. No brand colors? Use Detected from your logo or Brand color presets.	Yes, the logo can wait
Your gym’s details	The address and phone number families see on your public site. Signup collects these, so setup usually skips it.	No: I’ll add this later
Set up your homepage	A Headline, Subheadline and Intro text, and which sections to show: Registration, Calendar, Store, Contact, Competitions, Team.	Yes, editable later
Set up payments	Your registered legal business name, address and phone. Then, for Adyen’s secure page: business details, identity documents and a bank account.	Not to finish setup. Yes to go live

Already have an Uplifter login? Select Already have an account? Sign in at the top of signup first, then choose Continue as your name. Waits to plan around. Start Set up payments as soon as you reach the go-live checklist, then keep setting up while Adyen reviews it. Once verified, you can publish before adding a bank account, but payouts need one. Coming from another system or Uplifter 1.0? Setup has no import step: Uplifter’s team brings your data in. See moving from another system or moving from Uplifter 1.0. If your club took cards through Adyen in Uplifter 1.0, skip Set up payments: your payment account comes over with the final import. Did Uplifter set up your club? You skip signup: accept the emailed invitation within 7 days and setup opens as usual.
