Guild Settings

Create and manage your community.

Guild Settings let Organizers manage every aspect of their Guild — from basic details like the name and description to advanced features like monetization and integrations. Only Members with the Organizer role can access Settings.

To open Settings, navigate to your Guild's profile page and click the settings gear icon. This icon is only visible to Organizers.

General Settings

General Settings let you manage your Guild name, URL, description, and timezone

The General tab is where you manage the core identity of your Guild:

Name

— Your Guild's display name, shown on the profile page, in search results, and on Event cards.

Short name (slug)

— The URL-friendly identifier for your Guild. A Guild with the short name "metro-coders" is available at guild.host/metro-coders. Choose something short and memorable. Changing this will update your Guild's URL, so share the new link with your community if you make changes.

Description

— A rich text description of your Guild that appears on the profile page. Use this to explain what your community is about, who it's for, and what Members can expect.

Timezone

— The default timezone for your Guild, used when displaying Event times. This is especially helpful for regional communities where Events happen in a consistent timezone.

Profile photo

— Your Guild's logo or avatar. Appears in search results, Member lists, and Event cards.

Cover photo

— A wide banner image displayed at the top of your Guild's profile page. A good cover photo sets the visual tone for your community.

Other Settings

Beyond General settings, Organizers have access to several additional configuration areas:

Members

— Manage your Guild's membership, promote or demote roles, remove Members, export member data, and configure Membership Forms for approval-based joining.

Monetization

— Connect Stripe to accept payments for Event tickets and donations. Configure payout settings and manage your Guild's financial setup.

Integrations

— Connect your Guild to third-party services including Bluesky for automatic Event announcements, Google Calendar for Event syncing, and Embeds for displaying your Guild's Events on external websites.

Messaging

— Send messages and announcements to your Guild's Members.
