# Join form

The join form is the first step in the registration process. To customise it, proceed as follows. 

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

2\. There you will find all the settings for the join form.

3\. First decide on a title, subtitle and background image. Here you can find examples from other beabee users:

<https://mitglieder.in-gl.de/join>

<https://community.089wehringhausen.de/join>

<https://mitglieder.wolfenbuettel-magazin.de/join>

<https://membership.thebristolcable.org/join>

<https://membership.thegreenline.to/join>

About the background image: The smaller the screen, the less of the background image is visible. As a rule of thumb, however, your background image should be at least 1200px wide.

4\. Now set the suggested contributions. With beabee, members can pay as much as they want, but you can set a direction by suggesting three contributions (monthly/yearly). You can also set a minimum contribution. The default contribution is the contribution that is set by default when users come to the join form.

5\. You can decide if you want to ask your members to pay the transaction costs. Stripe charges a percentage fee for each transaction. So you get less of your members' monthly contribution. If they agree to pay the transaction costs, they will pay a little more and offset the fee. We would recommend that you ask your members to do this. Our experience so far is that most of them are happy to pay the fee.

6\. Done! Now continue with the account information in the next step.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.beabee.io/help-center-english/onboarding-guide/customise-beabee/membership-builder/join-form.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
