After activation, there are a few things you should configure before inviting members to join groups. This takes less than five minutes.
Step 1 — Create Required Pages
CycleSave needs a few WordPress pages to display its frontend interfaces. The easiest way is to go to CycleSave → Settings → General and click the Create Pages button. This creates the required pages and assigns them automatically:
| Page | Shortcode | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Dashboard | [cyclesave_dashboard] |
The member account hub |
| Checkout | [cyclesave_checkout] |
The group join and payment screen |
| Groups | [cyclesave_group_list] |
A public directory of all open groups |
| Success | [cyclesave_payment_success] |
The page members see after completing a payment |
Step 2 — Set Your Currency
Go to CycleSave → Settings → General and choose your Default Currency. CycleSave supports USD, EUR, GBP, NGN, GHS, KES, ZAR, and many more.
Step 3 — Connect a Payment Gateway
Go to CycleSave → Settings → Payments and connect at least one payment gateway. The fastest way is to click Connect with Stripe — this uses Stripe’s secure OAuth flow.
Step 4 — Create Your First Group
With pages and payments configured, go to CycleSave → Groups → Add New Group.
Step 5 — (Optional) Activate a Pro Licence
If you purchased CycleSave Pro, go to CycleSave → Settings → License and enter your licence key. This unlocks additional payment gateways and advanced features.
