Public join and your join link

Public join is a toggle, and it starts off

Every organization on Mybers gets a public page, but letting people join from it is a separate switch — and it's off by default. Publishing your page and opening it for signups are two different decisions, so a brand-new org can look completely finished and still have no way for anyone to sign up.

Open Website in the menu. Under the publish section you'll find two checkboxes:

• Publish public page — makes /org/your-slug visible at all.
• Let people join from your public page — this is public join. Turn it on.

What doesn't work while it's off

• The Join button is hidden from your public page and its navigation.
• Your join URL, /org/your-slug/join, returns 404 — to a visitor it simply doesn't exist.
• The embeddable join form returns 404 too, so a form dropped into your own website silently shows nothing.
• The join form's server action refuses submissions, so even a stale link can't create a member.

In short: with public join off, the only way anyone becomes a member is if you add or import them yourself.

Your join link

Once it's on, your join page is /org/your-slug/join on your Mybers address, or the same path on your custom domain if you've connected one. That's the link to put in your email signature, your newsletter, your Instagram bio, and on flyers. Your dashboard's setup checklist marks this step done as soon as the toggle is on.

Embedding the form in your own site

If you already have a website and want people to join without leaving it, embed /embed/your-slug/join in an iframe. It's a stripped-down, unbranded version of the same form — same levels, same custom fields, same result — and there's a matching /embed/your-slug/dues for renewals. Both are gated by the same public-join toggle.

Approval

Public join can require approval. With approval on, sign-ups arrive as Pending and stay off your active roster until an admin approves them; the join page tells the applicant so up front. With it off, they become Active immediately. See Approving new members.

Public join + Stripe = self-serve

Public join on its own collects people. Pair it with a connected Stripe account and priced membership levels and the whole journey runs without you: someone finds your page, picks a level, pays, gets a member record and a welcome email, and can create a login to manage it. Without Stripe, the form still works — it just can't take money, so you'll be collecting payment some other way.

If you ever hear "I can't find where to sign up," check this toggle first. It's the single most common reason a finished-looking org has no inbound members.
