# Quick start

> The shortest path to a working economy — for admins who already know what they want.

A condensed version of [Set up Civic](https://docs.civicbot.app/getting-started.md) for admins who want the checklist.

## For administrators

**1. Invite Civic**

[Add to Discord](https://civicbot.app), pick your server, authorize.

**2. Sign in**

Log in on the [Civic website](https://civicbot.app) and select your server.

**3. Open Settings**

Set currency, starting balance, time zone, payout time, payout destination and the
payout log channel. Turn on **Automatic payouts**.

**4. Add sources and roles**

On **Income**, add an income source, then add a role rule with a daily amount.
Add bonuses for roles like Booster or Donator.

**5. Sanity-check**

Read the **Example payout** at the bottom of the Income page.

**6. Done**

Civic pays every member once a day at your chosen time. Watch the first run on the
**Payouts** page.

## For members

Nothing to set up.

* `/balance` — see your wallet, bank and total.
* `/deposit` and `/withdraw` — move money between wallet and bank.
* `/pay` — send money to another member.
* `/transactions` — see your recent activity.
* `/leaderboard` — see who is richest.
* `/economy home` — the panel with a button for each action.

Full detail in the [Member guide](https://docs.civicbot.app/members/overview.md).

## The minimum to get paid

Three things must be true before anyone earns anything:

1. The economy is **enabled**.
2. **Automatic payouts** is on and a **time zone** and **payout time** are set.
3. At least one **enabled role rule** matches a role a member holds.

> [!WARNING]
>
> A member is only paid for roles they actually have. If you add a rule for a role nobody holds, nothing happens.
