  5. Under "How many seats do you want to include?", type the number of seats your client wants.
  6. Under "Payment method", input your payment details.
  7. Click Complete GitHub Enterprise purchase.

Step 4: Invite your client as an enterprise owner

Invite your client to become an enterprise owner. For more information, see "Inviting people to manage your enterprise."
