# Accepting an Organization Invitation

When someone invites you to their organization, you will receive an email with a link to accept or decline the invitation.

## What the Invitation Includes

The invitation email and preview page show:

- The **organization name** you are being invited to
- Your assigned **role** (Admin, Member, or Billing)
- Any **store assignments** if the invite includes store access (combined invite)
- Who sent the invitation

## Accepting an Invitation

  Click the **Accept Invitation** link in the email you received.
  Review the invitation details on the preview page.
  If you are not logged in, you will be redirected to log in first.
  Press **Accept** to join the organization.

  You must have a Fuze Store account to accept an invitation. If you do not have one yet, create an account first using the same email address the invitation was sent to.

## What Happens When You Accept

- You are added as a member of the organization with the assigned role.
- If the invitation includes store assignments, you are also added as staff to those stores with the specified roles.
- All of this happens in a single step — you do not need to accept each store assignment separately.

## Declining an Invitation

If you do not want to join the organization, press **Decline** on the invitation preview page. The invitation will be marked as declined and cannot be used again.

## Expired Invitations

Invitations expire after 72 hours. If your invitation has expired:

1. Contact the organization administrator.
2. Ask them to resend the invitation from the organization's member management page.
