# Membership Application Form Template > A refined club application on an ivory page: full name, email and phone, a choice of Community, Supporter or Patron membership, a short statement on why they want to join, and agreement to the club’s code of conduct. A Memberships template in the new Vonza Forms, “Membership application”: A refined club membership application with a short statement. ## What a membership application form is for A membership application form is how a club, association or society lets people apply to join, rather than sign up instantly. It collects their details, the kind of membership they want and their reasons, so the committee can review each application before saying yes. This template is a single, short page in the Serif look. The three tiers are one-tap choices, the statement is optional so nobody is put off, and agreement to the code of conduct is required before the application can be sent. It takes no payment, because the membership team replies first; add a price when you want members to pay as they apply. ### Who uses it - Clubs and societies that review new members before accepting them. - Professional associations and chambers of commerce. - Private communities and masterminds with an application step. - Sports clubs, choirs and volunteer organisations with membership tiers. ## What’s in the template Every question exactly as the template builds it, page by page. Change, add or remove any of them in the editor. Form title: “Apply for membership”. ### Questions - **Full name**: Name · required - **Email**: Email · required - **Phone**: Phone - **Membership**: Multiple choice · required · Community, Supporter, Patron - **Why would you like to join?**: Long answer - **I agree to the club’s code of conduct.**: Consent · required ### Button and thank-you screen - Submit button: “Apply” - Thank-you screen: “Application received”, The membership team will be in touch within a week. ## How to customise it A template is a starting point: every word, question and colour stays editable. - **Charge the membership fee**: Turn on Payments with a Subscription Plan billed monthly or yearly per tier, or a one-time joining fee, so approved members pay on the same form. - **Show your code of conduct**: Replace the consent box with an “Agreement & e-sign” block that shows the full code, or links a PDF, with “I agree” and an optional signature. - **Ask more of some tiers**: Show extra questions with logic only for Supporter or Patron applicants, such as a referee or a company name. - **Review applications as a team**: Use the review status on each response and team notes to record the committee’s decision. ## What happens after someone submits The same Vonza Forms settings run behind every template. These are the ones this form uses. 1. **The response arrives in Responses**: Each response opens with every answer, the device and the time it took. Export all or some of them to CSV or Excel, or download one as a PDF. 2. **You and your team are told**: The email to you goes to you and up to five teammates on every response, with all the answers or a message you write, plus an in-app notification. 3. **The respondent becomes a CRM contact**: Everyone who leaves an email (here, “Email”) becomes a contact in your Vonza CRM, tagged with up to ten tags you choose. Existing contacts keep their details. 4. **They get a confirmation**: Turn on the email to the respondent, with your own subject and message, and attach their answers as a PDF. 5. **Automations and webhooks take over**: Use “Contact fills this form” in Automations to enrol people in a course, start an email sequence or add them to a list, or post each response to Zapier, Make or your own server with a webhook. Tag each applicant by the tier they chose, so approved members can be welcomed by an automation or added to the right member list.

Contact details, the membership type, a short reason for joining and agreement to your rules. This template asks those six questions on one page. ### Can members pay their fee on the application? Yes. Turn on Payments and add a price per tier, one-time or recurring weekly, monthly or yearly. Members pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or, for one-time fees, PayPal. ### Can I review applications before accepting members? Yes. Applications arrive in Responses, where each one has a review status (New, In progress, Done) and team notes. You decide who to accept. ### Can approved members get access to a course or community? Yes, with an automation on “Contact fills this form”, or with a paid add-on that delivers a course, a community or a membership tier when the member pays.
