Sign Up for Cloud

In this guide, you'll learn how to sign up for Cloud. You'll create an organization, choose a plan, and set up billing.

After creating an organization, you can start deploying your Medusa applications on Cloud.

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 Continue button to proceed to the next step.

Step 3: Set up Payment and Billing#

In the last step, you need to choose a plan, enter your payment details, and set up billing details.

Choose a Plan#

By default, the Hobby plan is selected. This plan is minimal and allows you to deploy a single Medusa application that is suitable for development and testing purposes.

To change the plan, click on the Change plan link. This will open a modal where you can select a different plan.

Note: Learn about the different plans and their features in the Plans guide.
