How to manually add a new member

You can add members two ways: one at a time, or by importing a list.

Adding members one by one

For a handful of members, use Add member. Go to Customers in the admin panel and click Add member. In the modal, find the customer and assign the membership.

The customer needs an Alba account first, since you find them by searching their exact email address. If they don't have one yet, they'll need to create it before you can assign the membership.

Importing a list

For larger groups, go to Customers, then Import customers, where you'll find a step-by-step guide.

One thing to know about recurring memberships

Both methods only assign one-time (seasonal) memberships. Recurring memberships are tied to subscription and payment logic, so the customer has to purchase those themselves.
