Start with your work
Drate brings your website, memberships and member content together. You can build a site before you have a paying audience; having a website does not guarantee new members or sales.
- Create your account and give your site a name.
- Pick a starter template that fits what you make, or start blank. You can look through every template first.
- Open Website in your dashboard to add your name, pictures, pages and links.
- Preview the site on a computer and a phone before you publish.
Verify your email address before you publish or take payments. Your dashboard can send the link again if you need it.
Get ready for your first member
Decide what people will receive, how often you will deliver it and what it costs you to make. Set up your memberships in Plans, and connect your Stripe account before you take payments.
If you already have patrons, connect Patreon so they can access your site through their existing membership.
Your changes are kept as a draft. Publishing is a separate step.
