INTRODUCTION
Feature Summary: Build an online form that lets new players create accounts outside of CourtReserve's Member Portal.
Use Cases: Help new players join your Club with an online membership form. Add customization to suit your organization's needs, like required payment profiles and links to your external website.
If your organization has an established website external to CourtReserve, the Member Registration widget can be embedded into a page on your site. This allows players to create an account without leaving your organization's website.

Membership Widget Settings
Note: If your organization offers memberships or requires payment profiles when a user creates an account through the widget, you should enable one or both of these settings.
Require Membership on Widget - If checked, players will be required to select a membership on the widget.
Show the Following Membership(s) on Widget : Choose the specific memberships offered through the widget.
Note: If you have non-public memberships, you can add them to the Member Registration widget. These are great for memberships only offered in-person or through special registration links outside your member portal. Non-public memberships won’t automatically show — you’ll need to select them here in the Show the Following Membership(s) on Widget setting. If you leave this set to ALL, only public memberships will appear.
Require Payment Profile - If checked, players must create a payment profile with a credit card or e-check before they can finish creating an account.
Login member after account creation - Select this option if you want to automatically display the CourtReserve login page after a user completes account creation. If left unchecked, members can instead use the link provided in the Account Creation email to access your organization's member portal directly.
Success Member Registration Message - Customize the message that appears after a member successfully completes account creation. This message is optional and can be tailored to provide next steps or important information for your new members.
Redirect To URL - Use this to send new members to a specific URL / webpage after they complete the Member Registration widget form. For example, your organization can redirect new members to your external website instead of the CourtReserve Member Portal upon successful registration.
Custom CSS: Optional field where custom CSS styling can be applied to further customize the widget’s appearance. Learn more here.
Test Your Widget (Link): Provides a direct link to preview and test how the widget will display live.
Widget Code: Auto-generates the embeddable code that can be copied and inserted into your website to activate the widget.
Copy Widget Code (Button): Quick button to copy the full embed code to your clipboard for easy website placement.
Player Sign-Up
After a player saves their form via the Member Registration widget, CourtReserve checks if it’s already linked to an existing email address.
If a matching account is found in your organization, the player will see a message stating that the email address is already associated with an existing account.
If the email is not found in this organization, but it does exist in the global CourtReserve database, the player will be prompted to verify their email with a 6-digit code. They’ll enter the code to confirm and link their existing account.
If the email is not found in this organization or in the global CourtReserve database, a new account will be created for the player.
