Create a membership

Introduction

Memberships in Orbi allow you to manage your community and offer access to events or benefits. This is a short overview of how to create one in Admin.

Step 1: Start a new membership

Go to the Memberships section in Admin and click New membership. The Create membership window has three steps: Type, Info and Images.

Step 2: Choose your membership type

Select the type that best fits your organization:

• Standard: public membership with optional questions and payments
• Needs approval: review every application before anyone becomes a member
• Invite only: hidden membership only for invited members

Important: The membership type cannot be changed once the membership has been created.

Click Next.

Step 3: Add general information

Enter a Name and a Description. This is what users see when they explore and join. Click Next.

Step 4: Add images

Add a Logo and a Background image to make your membership recognizable, then click Create.

Step 5: Set up membership periods

Membership periods define how long a membership is valid, when it can be purchased and what it costs.

On your new membership's page, click Add under Membership periods.

Until a period is for sale, your membership shows as Unavailable and nobody can join. See Why is my membership unavailable?.

To find and edit your memberships later, see Find and manage your memberships.

Share your membership

For Standard and Needs approval memberships, click Share on the membership page to copy a link you can send to students.
