Deploy Wizard Walkthrough

What you need before deploying

The Deploy Wizard guides you through creating a new AI agent server from start to finish. Before you begin, make sure you have:

• A OneClickClaw account. Sign in at oneclickclaw.io using Google Sign-In. See Creating Your Account if you have not done this yet.
• A credit or debit card. You complete payment through Stripe during the deploy flow. We accept all major cards.
• A name for your instance. Something descriptive like "Customer Support Bot" or "Community Agent." This is for your reference only.

Step 1: Name your instance

From your dashboard, click the Deploy New Agent button. If this is your first time, you also see a prominent call-to-action on the empty dashboard.

The first screen asks you to name your instance. This name is for your reference only. It appears in your dashboard and helps you identify the deployment. It does not affect how your agent works or what your users see. You can use letters, numbers, spaces, and common punctuation. Keep it short and descriptive.

Step 2: Select your tier

After naming your instance, you choose your plan. You see three tier cards side by side, each showing the monthly price, server specifications, support level, and a brief description of who the plan is best for.

Click the Select button on the tier you want. If you are not sure, start with Starter. You can upgrade later from your dashboard at any time, and the change takes effect on your next billing cycle. For a detailed comparison of all tiers, see Choosing a Plan.

You also choose between monthly and annual billing on this screen. Annual billing saves approximately 17% compared to monthly.

Step 3: Stripe checkout

After selecting your tier, you are redirected to a secure Stripe checkout page. This page shows your order summary (plan name, price, billing frequency) and a payment form. Enter your credit or debit card details and click Pay.

Stripe handles all payment processing. We never see or store your card details. Once payment is confirmed, you are automatically redirected back to OneClickClaw and provisioning begins.

Step 4: Watch provisioning

After successful payment, you land on the provisioning page. Your dedicated server is being created, configured, and secured in the background. A real-time progress tracker shows you each step:

Each step shows a spinner while in progress, a green checkmark when complete, and a gray circle when waiting. The entire process typically takes about 5 minutes. You can stay on the page and watch, or close the tab and come back later. Your deployment continues regardless.

When provisioning completes, you are automatically taken to the Onboarding Wizard to finish configuring your agent. For a detailed explanation of what happens at each provisioning step, see What Happens During Provisioning.

If deployment fails

Deployment failures are rare, but they can happen due to temporary infrastructure issues. If your deployment does not complete within 15 minutes, here is what to do:

• Check your dashboard. Navigate to the Overview page and look at the server status indicator. If it shows "Provisioning," the deployment is still running. Give it a few more minutes.
• Look for a retry option. If the deployment fails outright, the page displays an error message with a Retry button. Clicking it restarts the provisioning process from scratch on a fresh server.
• Contact support. If the retry also fails, reach out to our support team. We can see the exact step where provisioning stalled and resolve it manually. You are never charged for a server that fails to deploy.
