# Creator mode and fan mode

Switch between running your page and following other creators as a fan, from the top bar or when you log in.

Your QKAP login works two ways. **Creator mode** is the dashboard where you run your page. **Fan mode** is your fan account, where you see what you bought from other creators, your memberships, the community groups you joined and your messages.

## Choosing a mode when you log in

After you log in, QKAP asks **How do you want to use QKAP?**

1. Pick **Creator mode** or **Fan mode**.
2. Tick **Remember my choice on this account** to skip this question next time.
3. Tap **Continue**.

If you were on your way to a specific dashboard page, for example from a team invite, you go straight there instead.

## Switching from the top bar

- In the dashboard, use the **Creator / Fan** switch at the top. On a phone it shows two small icons.
- In your fan account, the same switch sits at the top right.

## Your fan account

The first time you switch to fan mode, QKAP creates a fan account with your email address and your current password. You can also log in to it directly from the fan log-in page.

If you already had a fan account with the same email, QKAP uses it, as long as you've confirmed your email address. If you haven't, confirm it in **Dashboard → Settings** first, or log in to the fan account directly.

## Common questions

### How do I stop QKAP remembering my mode?

Open the chooser at qkap.app/choose-mode?ask=1, untick **Remember my choice on this account** and tap **Continue**.

### Do my fan purchases show in my creator dashboard?

No. They're kept separately in your fan account. Your creator page's orders stay in **Dashboard → Store → Orders**.
