Onboarding your first client

This walkthrough covers provisioning a client from Workspaces through to a client-owned workspace ready for their team.

Before you start

  • Complete White-label branding so clients see your identity from day one.

  • For Self-Billing: purchase at least one license in Billing, see Understanding Licenses.

  • Top up your agency AI wallet so AI features work when clients start using the product.

  • For Stripe Connect billing or AI card top-ups, complete Stripe Connect setup first.

  • Prepare your client contract, support contact, and Privacy Policy / Terms URLs.

Create the workspace

  • Go to Workspaces and click Create Workspace.

  • Self-Billing: select tier and assign licenses from your pool. You invoice the client separately.

  • Stripe Connect (Automated): requires an active Stripe Connect account. See Stripe Connect setup. Client seats bill automatically through your Stripe account.

  • Enter workspace name and optional description. You can run a guided business brief wizard after creation.

Hand off to your client (Self-Billing)

  • With one license assigned, you initially occupy the owner seat.

  • Invite your client contact as Admin or Editor, not agency_admin.

  • While you are the only member, the platform allows the handoff invite even if the pool shows zero spare licenses.

  • When the client accepts, they become workspace owner and your seat is released.

  • Confirm the workspace shows one billable user under the client's account.

AI wallet for the client

  • If Stripe Connect is enabled at org level, clients can Top Up Wallet from Workspace Settings → Billing → AI Wallet.

  • Without Stripe, clients use Request credits; you approve from Workspaces after offline payment.

  • You can add ad hoc AI credits from the workspace card AI credits button anytime.

  • Explain that AI usage is metered and not unlimited.

Public signup link (Stripe Connect only)

  • When Stripe Connect is active and public signup is enabled in Reselling, copy your marketing signup link.

  • Uses your custom domain /auth/signup when domain verification is complete.

  • Otherwise uses strategy.elevale.app with your organisation referral parameter.

  • Self-Billing workspaces are invitation-only, you control provisioning manually.

Your support responsibilities

  • Provide first-line onboarding, training, and billing support to your client.

  • Do not direct clients to Elevale for issues you should handle commercially.

  • Escalate platform bugs or infrastructure issues to Elevale reseller support.

  • Ensure clients understand your Privacy Policy and Terms, see Agency and reseller data responsibilities.

After onboarding

  • Point client admins to Platform Documentation in their Company Wiki for product how-tos.

  • Monitor AI spend and license usage from Workspaces and Billing.

  • Invite additional client users when they purchase more seats or you assign more licenses.
