Creating Your Organization
Creating your organization
Your organization is the home for everything you'll do in Sunfish Events. It holds your brand, your team, and your payment setup, and every event you create lives inside it. Setting it up well the first time makes each event easier to launch.

Name and branding
Start by giving your organization a name, usually your company, nonprofit, or team name. This is the name your attendees may see on emails and pages, so use the one people recognize.
Next, add your branding. Upload your logo and choose colors that match your brand. These carry through to your event landing pages and emails, so your events feel like yours rather than a generic template.
Use a clear, high-resolution logo with a transparent background if you have one. It will look sharp everywhere it appears.
Inviting your team
If other people help you run events, invite them to your organization. Once they accept, they can work alongside you in the same dashboard, building events, managing attendees, and more.
Invite teammates by email from your organization's settings. Each person gets their own login, so you never have to share a single account.
Invite the people who genuinely need access. You can always add more later, and it's easy to remove someone when they no longer need to help.
Where your settings live
Anything that applies across all your events, your name, branding, team, and payment setup, lives in your organization settings. Anything specific to one event lives inside that event.
If you're ever unsure where to change something, ask yourself: does this affect every event, or just one? That tells you where to look.
Once your organization is set up, the next step is connecting a payment account so you can accept money for paid events. See Connecting Stripe.
