Set up your subscription

Docker subscriptions offer features and benefits to support both new and professional developers, as well as plans for individuals, teams, and enterprise businesses. To learn more about what's included with each tier, see Docker subscriptions and features and Docker Pricing.

In this section, learn how to get started with a Docker subscription for individuals or for organizations. Before you begin, make sure you have a Docker ID.

重要

Starting July 1, 2024, Docker will begin collecting sales tax on subscription fees in compliance with state regulations for customers in the United States. For our global customers subject to VAT, the implementation will start rolling out on July 1, 2024. Note that while the roll out begins on this date, VAT charges may not apply to all applicable subscriptions immediately.

To ensure that tax assessments are correct, make sure that your billing information and VAT/Tax ID, if applicable, are updated. If you're exempt from sales tax, see Register a tax certificate.

Set up a Docker subscription for a personal account

After you create your Docker ID, you have a Docker Personal subscription. To continue using this plan, no further action is necessary. For additional features, you can upgrade to a Docker Pro plan.

To upgrade from Docker Personal to Docker Pro, see Upgrade your subscription.

Set up a Docker subscription for an organization

You can subscribe a new or existing organization to a Docker plan. Only organization owners can manage billing for the organization.

After you create your Docker ID, you have a Docker Personal plan. You must then create an organization and choose a subscription for it. For more details, see Create your organization.

To learn how to upgrade a Docker subscription for an existing organization, see Upgrade your subscription.
