What is a Membership Form?
In GameDay, a Membership Form allows you to create, customise and publish a public-facing form for your members to complete as part of their registration to your organisation.
Membership Forms are a key asset and the central point to which you can add products, questions, messaging and branding to give your members a best-in-class registration journey.
When done well, setting up a Membership Form through your GameDay database can completely transform the way you operate, giving you an automated and user friendly solution for collecting memberships and fees, and developing a database with clean, relevant and valuable data.
Among the many benefits of using GameDay's Membership Forms are:
- You can make use of our integrated payment gateway to offer payment methods including Visa, MasterCard, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
- Incoming funds are automatically settled to your nominated bank account on a weekly basis.
- You can customise the vast majority of a Membership Form to make it look like your own, putting your brand front and centre and giving your members a strong first impression.
- You can customise the structure of your forms based on a registrant's date of birth, gender, member type, question responses and more, allowing a single form to automatically present the right information to the right people.
- Form sharing allows higher levels of a hierarchy to create a form template and share it with lower levels of the hierarchy to add their own content and use it as their own unique URL.
- Questions and products can be validated and mandated to ensure you are getting all the information you need from your members, and collecting payment at the point of registration.
