Accounts represent either a logged in user or team. To create an account, simply click the get started button at the top right of the page. That will take you to login or register for an account. After logging you, you can toggle between your user and any teams that you have access to. To learn more about setting your account, please read through the experience section below.
A merchant is a representation of the connected account we setup on your behalf over at Stripe. In order to submit content to our platform, you first need to create a merchant for payment processing.

After completing your setup, you'll need to add a credit card and bank account via your accounbt settings. After that you should be good to go.
Roles indicate which features you have access to on the platform. For instance, contributors can submit bounties, creators can submit repos, writers can submit articles, and editors can submit collections. Every account starts out with the 'basic' role. But, you can contact us if you're interested in becoming a contributor or creator. To view your current role, simply open the dropdown at the top right of the page and look beneath your user.
Users represent an individual developer whereas Teams represent a shared workspace. You should create a Team if you want to distribute code under that brand and share access with other developers.
To create a team, simply visit your settings > teams and then click the plus button. This will launch a wizard that takes you through the creation process.

No, not at the moment. Right now, all accounts are public but we'd love your feedback on this if you feel we should do otherwise.
