Your Membership Application Form, ready to paste.

HTML by default — the same field set also renders as React, Next.js, PHP, and cURL in your dashboard. Every variant posts to the same /api/submit endpoint. Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with the key from your dashboard; that's the only edit.

How to add it

How to add a Membership Application Form to your site.

To add a Membership Application Form to your site you need three things: a free splitforms access key, the HTML snippet above, and your key pasted into it. No backend, database, or CAPTCHA library — the form posts to one URL and every submission lands in your inbox and dashboard.

Offer plans as a dropdown

Individual / family / student / corporate — a dropdown beats free text because you can filter applications by plan and quote the right dues instantly.

Auto-reply with next steps

The auto-responder sends dues, payment instructions, and the next meeting date the moment they apply — no-follow-up applications convert measurably better.

Collect dues on the same form

Enable payments to charge the first period's dues at signup through Stripe or Square, and the application and the payment arrive together.

What's included

What's in this Membership Application Form template?

Most clubs still sign up members through DMs and paper forms, which means the treasurer retypes everything and half the referral sources are 'not sure'. A membership form standardizes the intake: plan type, start date, how they found you — every application arriving the same shape, emailed to the membership chair and saved in one searchable list. The referral field quietly builds your marketing data: after fifty members you know exactly which channel fills the roster.

  • Membership application — 6 ready-made fields
  • HTML, JS, React, PHP, and cURL outputs
  • One POST endpoint, no SDK — honeypot and spam scoring, no CAPTCHA

Where submissions go

Where do your Membership Application Form submissions go?

Reply-to is wired to the visitor's email, so one tap on Reply answers them directly — while the built-in honeypot and automatic spam scoring filter out bots before they reach you. Every submission is emailed to your inbox and can forward to a webhook or Slack the moment a visitor hits send.

  • Reply-to wired to the visitor's email — reply straight from your inbox
  • Honeypot and automatic spam scoring filter bots, no CAPTCHA friction
  • Live dashboard, CSV export, and signed webhooks on paid plans

How SplitForms works

What happens after someone submits your form?

splitforms receives the submission, filters spam, saves it to your dashboard and emails you — then, on paid plans, sends it on to your webhooks and integrations. No backend infrastructure to build.

Connect & automate

Where can submissions go besides email?

On paid plans, submissions can also go to Slack, Discord, Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, Zapier or any signed webhook — and splitforms works on the platforms you build on, from WordPress and Shopify to Next.js. With Stripe connected, your forms can take payments too.

Questions

Membership Application Form questions.

View all FAQs
Can this replace membership software?

For joining, yes. For renewals, card-on-file billing, and member logins you'll eventually want Memberful or similar. Most clubs under ~200 members run fine on a form + spreadsheet + payment link.

How do renewals work?

Simplest: a yearly email with the same form link and a 'Renewal' option added to the membership-type dropdown. The submission timestamps become your renewal record.

Can family memberships list multiple people?

Add a 'household members' textarea, or ask the primary contact only — you can always collect the rest in the welcome email. Fewer required fields, more completed applications.

Is the referral question worth a field?

Yes — it's one optional field, and it's the only way you'll ever learn whether the flyer, the Instagram, or word of mouth fills your roster. Optional, never required.
