# Set up your program in one full-screen flow

> Creating a program opens five full-screen steps, from Business to Go live, with Save and exit on every step.

Set up a new program in one full-screen flow, one step at a time, at [affitor.com/brand/new](https://affitor.com/brand/new).

Until today, creating a program started on a separate form that also asked for a program handle, and the setup steps after it sat next to a step list and, on a wide screen, a preview of what partners see, with a Skip for now button on Tracking and Payments. Now every step is one screen in the same flow.

## How it works

- **Five steps**: Business, Commission, Tracking, Payments and Go live, each with **Step n of 5** and a progress bar.
- **Two fields to start**: Business asks only for a business name and a website.
- **Leave any time**: **Save and exit** is on every step.

## Start with your business

Enter your business name and website, then click **Continue**. Affitor creates the program and opens Commission for it. If you already run a program, Business starts with its name and website; change them for the new one.

## Keep going, or come back later

Commission, Tracking and Payments each have **Back** and **Continue**. On Tracking and Payments, **Continue** works while Affitor is still checking; the step is not marked done until the check passes. Go live still checks that everything is in place before your program goes live.

**Save and exit** saves your progress and opens the program's dashboard. On Business, it creates the program from the two fields; with both fields empty, it leaves without creating one.

## Where to change it later

Once a program is live, it has no setup: each step is its page in Program settings, and old setup links open that page.

## Conclusion

Setting up a program is now one guided flow from Business to Go live. [Learn more by creating a program](https://affitor.com/brand/new), and write to support@affitor.com with any question.

## Context for AI

Shared context for every entry (brand, facts, what never to say): https://affitor.com/changelog/context.md

### Facts

- Creating a program on Affitor opens a full-screen setup at https://affitor.com/brand/new with five steps in this order: Business, Commission, Tracking, Payments, Go live.
- Each step shows Step n of 5, a progress bar and a Save and exit button.
- Business asks for two things: a business name and a website. Continue creates the program and opens Commission.
- Tracking and Payments have one Continue button that works while the check is still pending; it does not mark the step done.
- A program that is already live has no setup; its setup links open the matching Program settings page.

### UI labels

- `Step 1 of 5`
- `Your business`
- `Business name`
- `Website`
- `Continue`
- `Save and exit`
- `Back`
- `Commission`
- `Install tracking`
- `Payments`
- `Go live`
- `Create a program`

### Avoid

- Saying setup copies settings, a logo or partners from another program
- Saying Continue on Tracking or Payments marks them done or skips the Go live checks
- A setup time such as five minutes
- A Skip button (there is none)
