### 1. Create your account and organization

Sign up, turn on multi-factor authentication, and create your organization. Everyone on your team works
inside one organization.
→ [Account](/get-started/account/)

### 2. Get your organization approved

:::warning
A brand-new organization stays **inactive** until Suger approves it. Email
[support@suger.io](mailto:support@suger.io) to request activation — you won't be able to connect a
marketplace or create offers until this is done. This usually takes a short while, so start it early.
:::

### 3. Connect your first cloud marketplace

Link the cloud marketplace you sell through (AWS, Azure, GCP, and more). This is the real first setup task,
and it unlocks products, offers, and billing.
→ [Connect your first cloud marketplace](/get-started/connect-your-marketplace/)

### 4. Add your first product

A **product** is your marketplace listing. Create one (or import an existing listing) so you have something
to sell.
→ [Products](/get-started/products/)

### 5. Create your first offer

An **offer** is how a buyer purchases your product — a self-serve public offer or a negotiated **private
offer**. Create a private offer to make your first deal.
→ [Private Offers](/get-started/private-offers/) · [Direct Sales with Suger](/get-started/direct-sales/)

### 6. Track it in the console

Watch the deal, revenue, and time-sensitive tasks from the Home dashboard, and learn where everything lives.
→ [Home Dashboard](/get-started/home-dashboard/) · [Navigate the Suger Console](/get-started/navigate-console/)

## New to the terms?

If words like **offer**, **entitlement**, **private offer**, or **metering** are new, skim the
[Key Terms glossary](/get-started/glossary/) first — it defines the vocabulary the rest of the docs use.

## Not sure Suger is a fit yet?

Start with the concepts: [What Is Suger](/get-started/what-is-suger/) and
[What Is a Cloud Marketplace](/get-started/what-is-cloud-marketplace/).
