# Creating an Organization

Organizations let you group stores and team members under one account. Follow these steps to create one.

## Prerequisites

You need the **Organization Management** add-on active on your account. Once active, the Organizations section appears in your account menu.

## Step-by-Step Guide

  Go to **Account** and open **Organizations**.
  Press the **+** button or **New Organization**.
  Enter the organization name and select your country.
  Optionally set a slug, currency, and timezone.
  Press **Save** to create the organization.

## Field Descriptions

| Field      | Required | Description                                              |
| ---------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| Name       | Yes      | The display name of your organization.                   |
| Country    | Yes      | ISO country code (e.g., PH, US). Used for timezone hint. |
| Slug       | No       | URL-friendly identifier. Auto-generated from name if empty. |
| Currency   | No       | Default currency for the organization (e.g., PHP, USD).  |
| Timezone   | No       | Organization timezone. Defaults to UTC.                  |

  When you create an organization, you are automatically assigned as the **Owner**. You get full control over the organization, its stores, members, and billing.

  When you create an organization, an organization subscription is automatically created. The org subscription inherits your plan but has no base fee — your plan fee stays on your personal subscription. The org subscription is used to consolidate billing for all stores linked to the organization.
