Club setup

First-time onboarding - branding, your subdomain and custom domain, timezone, currency and which features are switched on.

When your club is first created you're walked through a short, three-step setup. Nothing here is permanent - everything can be changed later in Club Settings - so don't worry about getting it perfect first time.

You'll need to be an Admin to run setup or change these settings later.

The three steps

Branding. Set your club name and upload a logo. Choose your brand colours and a default light or dark theme, and add links to your club's social accounts. This is what members see across the app, in emails and on your public pages.

Settings. Pick your slug - the short name in your web address. Your club lives at {slug}.rowbot.app (for example lorc.rowbot.app). Choose your timezone (so outing times and deadlines are correct), your currency and your language.

Supported currencies: GBP, EUR, USD, AUD, NZD and CAD. Pick the one you'll invoice members in - see the note below before changing it after go-live.

Features. Switch features on or off for your club. Announcements and Directory are recommended for every club. Optional features include Equipment, Coaching, Photos, Documents, Memberships, Certifications, Journal and Reports.

Turning a feature off simply hides it - you can switch it back on at any time without losing data.

Using a custom domain

Once you're set up you can point your own domain (for example members.myclub.org) at Rowbot instead of the rowbot.app subdomain.

In Club Settings → Domain, enter the custom domain you want to use.
Add the DNS records we show you with your domain registrar.
We verify the records and issue an SSL certificate automatically. Your {slug}.rowbot.app address keeps working too.

Choose your currency carefully. Changing currency after you've started invoicing members affects how new charges are billed. Set it correctly during setup, and if you need to change it later, talk to support first.

Changing settings later

Everything above lives under Club Settings, reachable from the admin area. Branding, domain, timezone, currency and feature toggles can all be revisited whenever your club's needs change.
