Getting started · Create your platform
Complete the three-step setup wizard
After signup, a three-step wizard sets up your branding, connects Stripe for payments, and links Bunny.net for video hosting. Every step can be skipped and finished later from your admin dashboard.
Step 1: Make it yours (branding)
If you already have a website, paste its address and click "Use my site" — we pull your logo, colors, and a short intro so you don't start from scratch. You'll see a preview card of what we found; click "Looks good — continue" to accept it, "Edit" to tweak the brand name, tagline, or logo, or "Try a different URL" to import from another site.
No website yet? Click "Start blank" and set up your branding later from the dashboard.
Step 2: Set up payments
Click "Connect with Stripe" and log into your own Stripe account. Payments from your members go straight to you — we never store your Stripe credentials. Once connected you get Stripe's full toolkit: refunds, reporting, and payment tracking.
Not ready? Click "Skip for now" — nothing can be sold until Stripe is connected, but everything else works.
Step 3: Connect video hosting
Your videos are stored and streamed through Bunny.net, a global video delivery network, so classes load fast wherever your members are. Choose "Connect automatically" (recommended) to link your Bunny.net account, or "Enter details manually" if you prefer to paste your library ID, API key, and CDN hostname yourself. The API key is stored encrypted, and we never see your account password.
You can skip this step too and set it up later under Integrations.
After the wizard
The wizard footer always shows your live address (yourname.autocreator.ai). When you finish or skip the last step, you land in your admin dashboard, where the launch checklist picks up everything that's still missing.
Step by step
- Log in via your welcome email — the wizard opens automatically.
- Step 1: paste your existing website and click "Use my site", or click "Start blank".
- Review the imported branding and click "Looks good — continue" (or "Edit").
- Step 2: click "Connect with Stripe" and approve in your Stripe account.
- Step 3: connect Bunny.net automatically, or enter your details manually.
- Finish — you land in your admin dashboard.
Good to know
- Everything in the wizard can be changed later — don't let one step block you.
- The "Connect automatically" option for video hosting is the easiest path if you're new to Bunny.net.
