# Configure paywall profile (Shared mode)

In Shared mode, each paywall has a public profile shown to users when they authorize your paywall to make charges. The profile displays your paywall name, description, and icon, and is configured in the dashboard.

<Info>
  The paywall profile is only shown in Shared mode during authorization and
  hosted top‑up flows and in the user's activity history. Default mode does not
  expose a public paywall profile.
</Info>

## Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your paywall in the dashboard">
    Go to Dashboard → Select the paywall you want to configure, then open the Profile section.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set name, description, and icon">
    * Name: a concise product/app name (human‑readable).

    * Description: 1–2 sentences describing what users are paying for.

    * Icon: upload a square image (1:1, e.g., 512×512), PNG or SVG. Use high contrast; it’s shown on light/dark backgrounds.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save and preview">
    Save changes and use the preview link (coming soon) to see how the authorization screen will look to users.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Guidelines

* Keep copy short and actionable; avoid jargon.
* Do not include sensitive or misleading claims; ensure you have rights to your brand assets.
* If you support multiple languages in your app, keep the description neutral and easy to understand.

## Where users see it

* Authorization page: when a user connects to your paywall for the first time.
* User's activity history in their wallet.
