# Account confirmation

After your members have decided on a contribution, entered their payment information and confirmed their email address, you will be asked for contact information, e.g. their name or address. You can also customise this step and decide for yourself what information you want to ask for.

Proceed as follows:

1. Log in to beabee and click on the *Membership Builder* tab in the sidebar menu and then on *Confirm Account Information*.

2. Would you like members to be able to provide their VAT ID when registering? To enable this, go to the *Join form* tab and check the box next to *Ask users for VAT number*.\

3. Under *Account confirmation*, you can decide whether or not you want to ask members for their address. Members can also choose whether they agree to receive items by post. For example, you could ask whether members would like to receive thank-you gifts by post or offer to send them a print edition of your publication. Here, you can also choose whether members should be asked for the name of their organization. To enable this, check the box next to *Ask for organisation name*.

{% hint style="info" %}
Once members have provided their VAT ID or organization name, you can find both pieces of information in their contact profile under the *Account* tab. You can also filter the contact list by these two fields.
{% endhint %}

4. You can now give members the option to subscribe to your newsletter. **Important: Only if you ask your members and only if members give their consent here, the member data will be synchronised with Mailchimp.**
5. Done! In the next step, you can welcome your members with a welcome message in their user dashboard.
