Membership Types with Donation Pricing

Join It also allows you to create Membership Types with flexible, donation-based pricing. This empowers donors to contribute any amount within parameters you define.

To set up:

  1. Create a new Membership Type.

  2. Under Advanced Settings, select the Donation Price Type option.

  3. Customize the name to reflect its purpose, e.g., "Alternative Donation".

Additionally, you can set these members to a ‘Prospective’ or ‘Pending’ status to distinguish them from active members.
