# Pro Guide

> Get the most out of your 9Pic Pro plan, from setup to renewal

## Welcome to Your Pro Plan

You're on **9Pic Pro** — the annual subscription that unlocks branded events, custom domains, and the full creative tool suite (Certify, Flow, Select, Buzz, Motion). This guide is the playbook for getting the most out of every dollar of your subscription.

The Pro journey has five short stages:

## What to Do First

<Tip>
  **First time on Pro?** Block out 30 minutes and run the [Setup Wizard](/pro-guide/setup-wizard). It's the single highest-leverage thing you can do — every event you run after this inherits your branding and domain.
</Tip>

If you only have 30 minutes, do these three things in order:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Setup Guide">
    From the sidebar, click **Setup Guide**. On Pro, it lists website-customisation steps: theme color, logo, favicon, footer, social links, contact form, header CTA, and team invite.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure branding and domain">
    Walk through each Setup Guide step. The wizard routes you to the right Settings tab. Click **Save** at the bottom of each tab — changes are not auto-saved.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your custom domain">
    On the **Domain & Region** tab, add either a `yourname.9pic.ai` platform subdomain (instant) or a `photos.yourbrand.com` custom domain (DNS + up to 48h for SSL).
  </Step>
</Steps>
