Sign Up for Cloud

In this guide, you'll learn how to sign up for Cloud and start your free trial.

When you sign up, Medusa creates an organization for you with a free trial of the Develop plan. You don't need to enter payment details to start, so you can start deploying your Medusa applications and storefronts on Cloud right away.

Trial Availability: The free trial is available only in select regions. If the free trial isn't available in your region, Medusa creates your organization without starting a free trial.

Note: If you already have a Cloud account and you want to create a new organization, refer to the Create an Organization guide instead.

Step 1: Create a Cloud Account#

To sign up for Cloud, go to cloud.medusajs.com/signup.

On this page, you can choose to either sign up with your GitHub account or with your email address.

Step 2: Set Up Your Account#

In the next step, you need to enter your account details. These details will be used for your organization as well.

Enter the following details:

What should we call you?: Enter your full name.
- This name will be used as the organization's name. You can change the organization name later in the organization settings.
Where did you hear about Medusa?: Select an option from the dropdown menu. This helps us understand how users find out about Medusa.
What are you building?: Select an option from the dropdown menu. This helps us understand what users are building with Medusa. If you don't see an option that fits your use case, select "Other" and provide more details in the text box that appears.
News and features: Keep the switch enabled to receive updates about Medusa, including new features, improvements, and other news. You can disable this option if you prefer not to receive such updates.

Once you're done, click the Start your free trial button. Medusa creates your organization, starts a free trial if it's available in your region, and redirects you to your organization's projects list.

Step 3: Add Billing Details Before Your Trial Ends#

While your organization is on a free trial, the Cloud dashboard shows a banner at the top of the page with the number of days left in your trial. For example, "Your Develop trial ends in 3 days".

To keep your projects after the trial ends, add your billing details:

Click the Add your billing details to keep your projects link in the banner.
Add a payment method to your organization, as explained in the Manage Billing Details guide.

Restrictions: Cards issued by banks in India are not supported. Please use cards issued by banks in other countries.

You can also view your trial's status from the organization's billing settings. Learn more in the Manage Plans guide.

If your trial ends before you add billing details, you can still keep your plan from the billing settings. Learn more in the Resume your Organization's Plan guide.

Next Steps#

After you sign up, the next step is to create your first project. You can create it from a starter or by importing your own GitHub repository.

Refer to the Create your First Project guide to learn more.
