Creating an Organization
Set up a new organization to start collaborating with your team. The creation process includes selecting a subscription plan and configuring initial settings.
Click your `User Profile` in the top left, then click `Settings` and select `Account`. Scroll down to the *Organizations & Teams* section and click the `+ Create an organization` button. Alternatively, you can access the creation flow from your Personal Workspace.
You'll be redirected to the Pieces Auth page, where you can sign in with your account credentials. If you encounter issues, you can access the login page directly at [portal.pieces.app/auth/login](https://portal.pieces.app/auth/login).
Enter your organization name in the *provided* field, then choose a name that clearly identifies your team or company.
Select the number of seats for your organization using the `+` and `-` buttons or by typing a number. The number of seats determines how many team members can be invited.
You can adjust this later from the *billing* page.
Choose your subscription plan:
* **Enterprise Seat Yearly**: $275.99/seat/yr
* **Enterprise Seat Quarterly**: $69.99/seat/quarter
* **Enterprise Seat Monthly**: $22.99/seat/mo
Click `Checkout` to proceed to the payment screen. Complete the payment process using PayPal, G Pay, or credit card through the *Paddle* payment system.
After completing payment, you'll see a success screen and receive a confirmation email. Click the `X` in the top right of the *success popup* to proceed to the next step.
You can invite team members by entering their email addresses and selecting roles (Owner, Admin, Write, or Read). Click `Send Invites & Finish` to complete setup, or click `Skip for Now` to invite members later.
If you encounter a "Loading your workspace..." issue that prevents you from accessing your organization, you can resolve it by navigating to [portal.pieces.app/auth/logout](https://portal.pieces.app/auth/logout) to forcefully sign out, then sign back in to access your workspace.
Joining an Organization
Accept an invitation to join an existing organization and start collaborating with your team.
You'll receive an email invitation from the organization owner or admin. The email will contain details about the organization and your assigned role.
Click the invitation link in the email to accept the invitation. You'll be immediately redirected to authenticate if needed.
After accepting the invitation, you can access the organization from your Personal Workspace by clicking the *organization dropdown* in the *sidebar* to select and view the organization.
