Note: Will be displayed if the membership fee > 0, and if the "Board Approval" option is NOT enabled.
Clicking the Finish and Proceed to Payment button adds the member to the database with a membership status of “Pending”. A confirmation email is sent to the member confirming the new membership. The payment page is then displayed to complete payment (after which the membership status is changed to “Active” and a second email is sent to confirm payment.)
Note that if there is no charge for the membership, the Finish and Proceed to Payment button is replaced by a Done button. The member is added to the database with a membership status of “Active” and a confirmation email is sent.
Also note that if the Nominate / Approve option is enabled, the process ends with this screen. Instead of the Finish and Proceed to Payment button, there is a Submit Application button. The member is added to the database with a status of “Prospective”, ready to be reviewed by the Board of Directors. You then use the member status dialog to Accept, Decline or Drop the prospective member.
Administrators: Stepping through the member signup wizard will see an additional option on this last page: Send new member emails. It is checked by default and a welcome email is sent to the new member, including a temporary username and password to login. If you want to suppress this email so that new members are not notified that an account has been created for them, uncheck the box.
