# Membership enrollment forms

> Let supporters join a membership tier and pay online, with receipts and renewal reminders handled for you.

Membership forms—called **Enrollment forms** in Settings—let supporters join one of your membership tiers and pay for it online.

<Note>
  Memberships is an optional module. If you don't see it under Settings, it isn't enabled for your organization. You'll also need at least one membership tier set up first.
</Note>

## Before you build

Set up your **tiers** first under **Settings → Memberships**. A tier is a membership product—"Individual," "Family," "Gold"—with a price, billing interval, and optional member limit. See [Memberships](/settings/memberships).

## Create a form

Choose **+ New form** under **Settings → Enrollment forms**, then pick the **Stripe Connect account**, the **tiers** to offer, branding, and receipt templates. The forms table shows each form's account, status, and number of tiers.

## How members understand the terms

| Term           | Meaning                                                                       |
| -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Tier**       | A membership product (e.g., "Family")                                         |
| **Membership** | One supporter's enrollment in a tier                                          |
| **Member**     | An individual covered by a membership (a Family membership can cover several) |

## Receipts and renewals

Membership forms send a **Membership Receipt** on signup and on each renewal, and can send a **Membership Renewal Reminder** before a term ends. Set those up as [transactional templates](/email/templates).

<Warning>
  Like donation forms, membership forms need a ready Stripe Connect account to take payment. See [Payments](/settings/payments).
