# Getting started

The fastest way to launch your membership is:

1. Create your first membership tier
2. Add 1 starter benefit
3. Publish your membership tier and enable subscription checkout
4. Enable member access to benefits

The **Getting Started** page guides you through setup and the growth tools that help turn store visitors into members. Work through the steps in order so the ways customers discover and join your membership are ready as part of your launch.
