This guide walks you through setting up your academy on REMMU for the first time.

## 🚀 Step 1: Create Your Account

1. Go to [app.remmu.com](https://app.remmu.com) and click **Sign Up**
2. Enter your name, email, and password
3. Verify your email address
4. You'll be taken to the onboarding flow to set up your academy

***

## ✅ Your Setup Checklist

While you're on the **Free plan**, a **Finish setting up your academy** banner appears at the top of every admin page and shows your progress (e.g. 3/8 done). Each step links straight to the right page:

1. Add your academy logo
2. Add a location
3. Create a class
4. Set up a payment method
5. Add an instructor
6. Add your first student
7. Enrol a student into a class
8. Collect your first payment

Steps tick off automatically as you do them in REMMU — there's nothing to mark by hand. The banner disappears once all eight are done, and isn't shown on paid plans.

## 🏷️ Step 2: Set Up Your Academy Profile

During onboarding, you'll configure:

- **Academy Name** — shown to your members
- **Subdomain** — your academy's unique URL (e.g. `my-academy.remmu.com`)
- **Logo and branding** — upload your logo and pick a primary colour
- **Contact email** — shown in email footers sent to members

:::hint{type="success"}
**Tip:** You can update all of this later in **Settings → General** (your subdomain is under **Settings → Domain**).

## 📍 Step 3: Add Your Locations

If your academy operates from multiple venues, add them under **Locations** first. Classes are assigned to a location.

→ See [Locations](docId\:gdnhWQ2qynwvmrj5GB9MC)

***

## 📅 Step 4: Add Your Classes

Create the classes your academy offers. For each class, set:

- Class name and description
- Schedule (day and time)
- Location
- Fee amount and billing type (monthly / package / per session)

→ See [Classes & Schedule](docId\:ToGhAc6Im0ghC9gpJXZJJ)

***

## 👥 Step 5: Add Your Students

Import or manually add your student roster. For each student you'll capture:

- Name, date of birth, contact number
- Emergency contact
- Guardian (for minors)
- Custom fields (if configured)

→ See [Students](docId\:Hi2E6pxlMWco8LLfocBNK)

***

## 🔗 Step 6: Enrol Students in Classes

Once students and classes exist, enrol students. Each enrolment links a student to a class and sets the billing terms.

***

## 💳 Step 7: Configure Payment Methods

Go to **Settings → Billing** and enable the payment methods your academy accepts:

- **Bank Transfer** — provide your bank account details; members upload proof
- **CommercePay** — online card payments (requires CommercePay merchant account)

→ See [Payment Methods](docId:37vN_hzh3BG4nbw49RLW2)

***

## 🔑 Step 8: Invite Your Team (Optional)

Add staff members under **Team** (sidebar). Team members can be scoped to specific locations so they only see what's relevant to them.

→ See [Team Members](docId\:zWcQihbNDaFXjtLjYcF1i)

***

## 📱 Step 9: Download the Mobile App

Share the REMMU mobile app with your members — available on iOS and Android. Members can view payments, check attendance, and manage packages from their phone.
