Build and map a basic membership form
In this article:
Introduction
It is possible to capture annual membership payments through an LGL form. The payments can be set up as either one-time or automated annual payments with multiple membership levels.
The image below shows an example of a membership form that can collect three levels of a one-time membership.
NOTE: An account setting that causes each membership submitted through an LGL form to create a new membership, rather than extend an old one, can be turned on in your account if desired. (If this setting is NOT turned on, an existing membership is automatically extended by one year in a form when the membership level in the form data matches a membership level already in LGL.) Contact Support if you would like for this setting to be turned on.
Map the form
You can see how to set up the mapping for the example form shown above as follows.
Name and contact information
Gift and membership fields:
Make sure you set up conditional logic for each of your membership levels. For each one, use the "Add default" option:
For the correct membership level to be set up by default, the logic must be present within the default as shown (i.e., set the membership level to “Gold” if the word “Gold” is present within the “Amount - Details” field).
Make your membership annual and its renewal automatic
If you want the memberships you collect through your LGL form to be available for a one-time membership or for it to be possible to renew an annual membership automatically at the current membership's end date, you can set up your form to accept recurring gifts.
In your form, edit the Amount field and choose to make the donation frequency either one-time or annual, as shown here. Then save your changes.
You’ll also want to set a default, for the recurring memberships, to add “+1 year” to the membership end date:
