# Immediate plan sign-ups
> Configure immediate plan sign-ups to let customers independently purchase subscriptions, and understand the user sign-up flow
Self-sign-up allows users to sign up for membership plans on their own—saving you time while increasing revenue. This option is ideal for plans that do not require verification.
For plans that require verification, [configure sign-up requests](/docs/billing/plans/applications) instead.
## Configure immediate sign-ups
1. [Create](/docs/billing/plans) or [edit](/docs/billing/plans#edit-or-delete-a-plan) a plan.
2. Enable **Sign-up**.
3. Select **Immediate** as the sign-up **Type**.
## How users sign up for plans
**Where users can sign up**
**Member web portal or mobile app**
Members and nonmembers see a prominent **Sign up** button on the main page. By clicking it next to their desired location, all available plans are listed.
##### **Your marketing site, social media, or direct plan links**
Copy direct [links to your membership plans](/docs/guides/integrate-with-marketing-website) and share them across all customer touchpoints:
* Your marketing site CTAs
* Social media
* Email campaigns and other communication channels
* Directly with interested prospects
This gives customers immediate visibility into your membership plans and lets them sign up instantly.
For inspiration, check out our customer's [FoundrSpace](https://www.foundrspace.com/membership) marketing site for a great example of integrated membership plan links.
### Sign-up flow
1. After selecting the desired plan and clicking `Subscribe`, users are guided through a welcoming [onboarding.](/docs/member/customer-journey)
2. Choose a subscription **Start** date.
3. Set **Renewal** preference:
* **Enabled** — get an automatically recurring subscription.
* **Disabled** — sign up for one cycle only (1 week, 1 month, etc.).
* The **Renewal** option is automatically enabled and not manageable if the plan has a [minimum commitment period](/docs/billing/plans) of more than 1 cycle, or your [billing cycle anchor](/docs/billing/subscriptions/billing-cycle-anchor) settings require it.
4. Choose **Quantity** (e.g., 3 hot desk memberships for a team).
5. Choose to sign up as an individual member or as a company.
* **Individual** — the user's name is prefilled from onboarding information. They get a personal subscription and appear under **Customers > Users**.
* **Company** — enable the **I'm purchasing as a company** option. A company with the provided name is created under **Customers > Companies**, and the user is assigned as the company manager. A company subscription lets users invite teammates and share access under a single subscription.
6. Enter a discount [promo code](/docs/billing/discounts/give-and-apply#create-promo-codes), if applicable.
7. Enter their [billing details](/docs/customer-management/billing-details) for invoices and receipts [if required](/docs/customer-management/billing-details).
8. Enter payment method details and complete payment.
### Sign-up for multiple plans
Customers who already have a subscription can always buy another one.
1. Go to the **Membership** page > **Billing**.
* Individual members subscribe from the **Personal** section.
* Company managers subscribe from the section with their company name.
2. In the **Subscriptions** section, click **Subscribe**.
3. Choose a plan and complete the same sign-up flow.
**How signing up for a second subscription works**
* The **Sign up** button on the main page is shown to customers without a subscription. Customers who already have an active or scheduled subscription purchase additional subscriptions from the **Membership** > **Billing** page.
* Customers can pick a plan they already have or a different one — there is no limit on how many subscriptions one customer has.
* Customers can sign up for one plan at a time. They can sign up for another plan at any time, but not for several plans at once.
* Each purchase creates a separate subscription with its own start date, cycle, renewal, invoices, credits, and day passes. Nothing is added to an existing subscription, and credits and day passes from all subscriptions add up on the customer's balance.
* Company users who are not managers can only buy a personal subscription. Buying for the company requires the [company manager role](/docs/customer-management/companies/members-and-managers).
* An individual member who enables **I'm purchasing as a company** creates a new company and becomes its manager, exactly as in a first sign-up.
Customers can purchase additional subscriptions in the member web portal now. It will become possible in the member mobile app in the next version.
## How subscription starts
1. When users sign up on their own, they pay for their first subscription cycle right away, even if the start date is in the future.
2. Only after payment, the system invites the user as a member and creates a subscription.
3. Administrators receive a [notification](/docs/account/notifications) for every new plan sign-up.
4. Once the subscription starts, the customer gets all the plan benefits, including [credits](/docs/billing/credits-and-day-passes/credits), [day passes](/docs/billing/credits-and-day-passes/day-passes), door access, [Wi-Fi](/docs/integrations/wi-fi/ironwifi), and more.
5. Customers view their subscription details, billing, credits, and day passes on the **Membership** page and can [request subscription cancellation.](/docs/billing/subscriptions/cancel)
## Our recommendations
* Boost new sign-ups by offering discounts on membership plans through [promo codes](/docs/billing/discounts/give-and-apply#create-promo-codes).
* Once new users sign up, welcome them and introduce them to your community with our [onboarding tips](/docs/guides/efficient-communication).
**FAQs**
Spacebring doesn't have a built-in confirmation email for plan purchases—users only receive a payment receipt with the invoice attached.
To send your own, set up a [Zapier automation](/docs/integrations/automation/zapier): choose Spacebring's **Subscription Purchased** trigger, which runs every time a user purchases a plan, and add a "send email" action from an app like Gmail or Outlook to deliver your custom message.
