Membermeister's public registration form allows your customers to register their interest and their details with you. Results of these registrations are automatically added to your membermeister account and show on the Dashboard.

Previewing your registration form

Towards the bottom of your Account Settings page you will find a section called Online registration form.

You will notice a link that will take you directly to your own online registration form.
Here's an example: https://dancedemo.membermeister.com/register

Additionally you will notice a section that provides details on how to embed this form directly onto your website.

Below is an example of a standard registration form.

What happens to the form submissions?

When someone submits the form three things will happen.

  1. An email will be sent to them with the details of each submission.

  2. You will receive an email notifying you of the submission.

  3. A new registration will be automatically added to your membermeister account.

New registrations can be found on the Dashboard where you can review them and easily turn them into a student. Alternatively you can also delete them there.

Customising your form with custom fields

You can add additional fields (so called custom fields) to your form that may be specific to your business. You may want to add fields such as 'Terms and Conditions consent', 'PIN Number', 'Referral Source', 'Photo Permission', etc.

Please submit a request via this form to the membermeister team and we will take care of this on a first come first served basis.
Note: at this time you may need to submit the form multiple times, once for each custom field you'd like us to add.

What types of custom fields does membermeister support?

We currently support

  • Text fields: Plain text fields, great for free text responses

  • Checkboxes: Used for a Yes/No answer, such as Photo Permission

  • Dropdowns: A dropdown menu, ideal for select one of multiple options, such as 'Referral Source' or 'Where did you hear about us'

Required fields
You can also ensure that a field must be completed before the form can be submitted. This is called a required field.

Help text
Finally, if a field requires a little more explanation you can add a short paragraph of text to explain things in more detail. 

Below is an example of a registration form with custom fields added.
Note: custom fields show on the child, not on the parent record. 

Tips for customising your form

Keep your forms as short as possible. Gathering too much data is not only a liability but can put people off from completing the form in the first place.
Be specific about why you are collecting the information you are requesting.
It is acceptable to make a field such as 'Terms and Conditions' a required field as you may otherwise not be able to deal with the customer, but do not make consent fields such as 'Photo permission' a required field.

Customising your form

Please contact the membermeister team by completing this form.
Note: at this time you may need to submit the form multiple times, once for each custom field you'd like us to add.

For each new field you'd like to add please include the following:

  • Name of the field, for example 'Photo Permission'

  • Does this field already exist in your account? You can check this by logging into your account, selecting Account Settings at the top right of the page and scroll down to the custom fields section. If the field doesn't yet exist then we will create it for you.

  • The type of the field. This must be either Text, Checkbox or Dropdown

  • For a Dropdown item, please include no more than 7 options. For example in the case of a referral field you may include 'Facebook, Google, Friend, Flyer, other'.

  • Any help text for each field that you want to display on the form (this is optional).
    It is possible to include HTML code as part of this help text and we recommend you use this to link to your terms and conditions page on your own website rather than include them in full on the form.
