Memberships

Manage member business listings displayed on your organization's website. Each membership represents a business with its details, contact info, images, and social links.

Overview

The Memberships collection stores your organization's member directory. Each entry creates a card on your website showing the business name, image, tag, and a link to their detail page. Members can optionally be featured on the home page.

Details Tab

The Details tab contains the core information about the member business. The business name is the only required field — everything else is optional but recommended.

Field	Required	Description	Example
Business Name	Yes	The official name of the member business. Displayed as the card title on your website.	Centerburg Hardware & Supply
Tag	No	A short category label shown on the membership card. Useful for grouping or filtering.	Retail
Description	No	A rich-text description of the business. Supports bold, italic, links, and lists. Shown on the member detail page.	Family-owned hardware store serving Centerburg since 1985.
CTA Text	No	The call-to-action button text on the membership card. Links to this member's detail page using their slug.	Read more

The Details tab — enter the business name, tag, description, and CTA text

✅Tip

The Description field uses a rich text editor. You can format text with bold, italic, links, and bullet lists. Keep descriptions concise — 2-3 sentences works well for the website display.

Media Tab

The Media tab controls the images associated with this member. The cover image appears on the membership card, while the cover photo is used as a banner on the detail page.

Field	Required	Description	Example
Cover Image	No	The primary image or logo shown on the membership card. Upload a photo, headshot, or logo.	(upload: company-logo.png)
Image Display	No	Controls how the cover image is cropped. Use "Cover" for photos (crops to fill the card). Use "Contain" for logos (shows the full image without cropping).	Cover
Cover Photo	No	A wide banner image for the member detail page. Recommended size: 1600x900 (16:9 aspect ratio).	(upload: storefront-wide.jpg)

The Media tab — upload a card image/logo and an optional detail page banner

ℹ️Note

Cover vs Contain: Use "Cover" for photos and headshots — the image will be cropped to fill the card. Use "Contain" for logos — the full image will be shown with no cropping, which prevents logos from being cut off.

Contact Tab

The Contact tab stores the business's location and contact information. The address field uses Google Maps autocomplete to make entry fast and accurate.

Field	Required	Description	Example
Address	No	Start typing to search via Google Maps autocomplete. Selecting a result auto-fills city, state, zip, and coordinates.	123 Main St, Centerburg, OH
City	No	Auto-filled from the address autocomplete. Can also be entered manually.	Centerburg

✅Address Autocomplete

Social Tab

The Social tab lets you add social media links for the business. Click "Add Social Link" to add a new entry, then select the platform and paste the profile URL.

Field	Required	Description	Example
Platform	Yes	Select the social media platform from the dropdown: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, X (Twitter), or Pinterest.	Facebook

Sidebar Fields

These fields appear in the right sidebar of the editor, outside the main tabs.

Field	Required	Description	Example

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I rearrange the order of members on the website?

The display order is controlled by your website's frontend template. By default, members are sorted by creation date. Contact your admin if you need a custom sort order.

What happens if I don't upload a cover image?

The membership card will display without an image — usually showing a placeholder or the business name only, depending on your website's design.

Can I have multiple memberships with the same business name?

The business name itself can be duplicated, but each membership must have a unique slug. If two businesses share a name, you'll need to manually edit one of the slugs to make it unique.

How do I delete a membership?

Open the membership, then click the three-dot menu (…) in the top-right corner and select "Delete". This action cannot be undone.

My address isn't showing up in the autocomplete suggestions.

Try typing more of the address, including the city or state. The autocomplete uses Google Maps data, so very new addresses or rural locations may take longer to appear. You can always type the city, state, and zip manually.

What image size should I use?

For the card image (cover image), a square or 4:3 aspect ratio works best — around 600x600 or 800x600. For the cover photo banner, use a wide 16:9 image around 1600x900 pixels.
