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.
