Onboarding Overview

Getting started with FlockSuite is a simple three-step process designed to get your church up and running in minutes. As a multi-tenant SaaS platform, every church admin creates their own isolated environment for their congregation.

Login & Setup

Step 1: Church Registration

To begin, navigate to the Registration Page. You will need to provide two sets of information:

1. Church Information

  • Church Name: The official name of your organization.
  • Church Email & Phone: Primary contact details for your church.
  • Denomination: Your church's denominational affiliation.
  • Location: Complete address including Country, State, and City.

2. Admin Account Details

This will be the primary Super Admin account for your specific church instance.

  • Full Name: The name of the person managing the account.
  • Professional Email: Used for login and receiving the verification OTP.
  • Secure Password: Must be at least 6 characters long.
Unique Slug: Your church name will be used to generate a unique URL (e.g., flocksuite.com/your-church-name) which serves as your public-facing portal.

Step 2: Two-Step Verification

Security is a priority at FlockSuite. After submitting the registration form, you will be redirected to the Verification Page.

  1. Check Your Email

    An email containing a 5-digit One-Time Password (OTP) will be sent to the admin email address provided.

  2. Enter Verification Code

    Enter the 5-digit code on the verification screen. If you don't receive the email within a few minutes, check your spam folder or click "Resend Code".

  3. Security Expiry

    For your protection, verification codes expire after 10 minutes. If the code expires, you will need to request a new one.

Step 3: Login & Access

Once verified, your church environment is automatically provisioned. You can now access your dashboard.

  1. Navigate to Login

    Go to the Login Page.

  2. Enter Credentials

    Use the email and password you set during the registration step.

  3. First Time Setup

    Upon your first login, you will be greeted by the Admin Dashboard. We recommend completing your profile and configuring your initial settings immediately.

Initial Configurations

To ensure a smooth experience for your members, complete these essential configurations in your dashboard:

SMTP Settings

Configure your own SMTP details under Settings → SMTP to send emails from your church's domain.

Payment Gateway

Connect Paystack or Stripe in Finance → Settings to start receiving tithes and offerings online.

Branding

Upload your logo and set your church colors in Settings → Church Settings.
