Community owners · Getting started
Create your community
Choose your community identity, public address and operating details, then continue setup in the admin console.
A JollyBee community gives your organisation its own public page, member area and admin console.
Create the community
Sign in, choose Create a community, and complete the details shown in the setup form:
- Name and public address — choose the name people know and a short URL. The public page lives at
jollybee.buzz/c/your-slug. - Community type and category — choose the closest fit. These choices tailor the modules and setup guidance you see; they do not delete data if changed later.
- Currency — choose carefully. It controls the currency shown beside prices and is read-only in community settings after creation. Hosted PayStack charges are currently initialised in ZAR, so use ZAR for a live hosted-card checkout.
- Location and contact details — add what is useful now; the full profile can be completed later under Settings.
You do not choose a subscription plan in this form. A default plan is applied when the community is created unless an invitation has already assigned a different plan. Owners can review the current plan and available upgrades under Admin → Subscription.
Complete the useful setup first
After creation, open the admin console and work through the setup checklist. A practical order is:
- Complete Settings and add the locations where the community operates.
- Invite the team members who need admin access.
- Connect the payment or other integrations you intend to use.
- Create the membership, pass, class, event or product you want to launch first.
- Preview the public page and run a real end-to-end test before sharing it.
Use Admin → Settings → Modules to keep navigation focused on the tools this community actually uses. Module relevance changes what is shown in navigation; it does not change the subscription, erase records or cancel anything already scheduled.
