# Quickstart

Once you've installed the Freelancer Marketplace template, you'll need to follow these steps to get up and running:

1. **Replace the default logo with your own**

The default company logo appears in two places:

* The navbar reusable element
* The sidebarnav reusable element

You can either update the logo manually in these two places or by changing the image in the 'Company Logo' option set.

2. **Remove demo functions**

The 'control-group' reusable element is used to show the demo freelancer/customer and template documentation link on the index page. You can delete this from the page/reusable dropdown menu:

3. **Edit default categories**

The template comes with a number of default 'categories'. These appear:

* On the index page under 'Popular Services'
* In the Categories column in the footer
* As a filter on the repeating group on the 'search' page
* As an option when creating new services in the 'views-services' reusable element

You can edit the default category names and their associated images in the 'Categories' option set:

4. **Enable Payments (OPTIONAL)**

By default, the Freelancer Marketplace template does **NOT** have payments enabled. However, there are a number of pre-built workflows included in the template that you can activate by changing. See the [Payments](https://cranford-tech.gitbook.io/freelancer-marketplace/payments) section of the plugin documentation for full details.&#x20;

Please note that the pre-built payment workflows use the [Stripe Connect - Marketplace plugin](https://bubble.io/plugin/stripe-connect---marketplace-1658072861502x631228260350951400), which is a paid plugin.
