Set up PTA membership dues for the school year

Sell PTA or PTO memberships for the school year. Families join and pay by card on one link, with no account. You set the levels and prices. This replaces MemberHub dues.

Before you start

• You need edit access to Signups.
• To take cards, connect Stripe once. Go to Settings, then Billing, and click Connect Stripe under Payouts.

Steps

1. Go to Signups, then click Membership.
2. Under Start a membership drive, pick the School year. A school year runs July to June, like 2026-27.
3. Give it a Name, or keep the suggested one.
4. Fill in up to six Levels, each with a Price ($), like Individual, Family, and Staff. Leave a name blank to drop that row.
5. Pick your options: Offer an optional donation on top, Note for families (optional), Tax note on receipts (optional), and We absorb the payment fee.
6. Click Save as draft.
7. On the next page, check the levels, then click Open membership.
8. Click Copy link, print the QR code, or click Open join page to see what families see.

Good to know

• The join link stays the same every year. It always shows the drive that is open, so a printed flyer keeps working.
• Opening one year closes any other year.
• The payment fee for your plan shows under the levels. Families see the full total, fee included, before they pay. If you absorb the fee, it comes out of what you collect.
• If your group is a 501(c)(3), the tax note starts with your EIN filled in.
• Every paid member gets a receipt by email and a tag like member-2026-27 on their contact in People.
• To change levels or the note later, open Levels and settings on the drive page and click Save settings.
