The short answer
One page, your share sizes with real prices, the pickup day, the season dates, and a card form. No PDF, no email-me-for-details, no account before checkout.
The job of the page
A CSA sign-up page has one job: let someone who already wants to join do it, right now, on a phone, without emailing you. Every field you add and every click you require costs members. The page is not the place to explain what a CSA is or tell the farm's story — that is the homepage, the newsletter, and the market table. By the time someone is on the sign-up page they have decided; the page's job is to not get in the way.
What goes on it
- Share sizes with real prices. "Half share — $24/week" and "Full share — $42/week." Not "contact us for pricing." Not a range.
- The season. Start date, end date, number of weeks. A member wants to know they are signing up for 20 weeks from June 3.
- Pickup days and locations. Every option, with hours. If you offer home delivery, say where and what it costs.
- What a week looks like. One photo of a typical box and one sentence. Not a full season crop list.
- The card form. On the same page, after they pick a share. Name, email, card. Done.
What to leave off
An account creation step before checkout — collect the card first and create the account behind it. A PDF application. A "we'll be in touch" form that turns a signup into a support ticket. Long dietary questionnaires; ask those in the welcome email. Anything that requires you to act before the member is confirmed.
Where the page lives
You don't need a website. What you need is a page with its own link that renders well on a phone, because that is where the Instagram tap, the newsletter click, and the QR code at the market all land. Put the link in your Instagram bio, at the top of every newsletter, on a card at the farmers market table, and in the reply to every "how do I join?" email. In Clementine every farm gets one at clementinecsa.com/your-farm with the boxes, prices, pickup days, and card form already on it; the public farm directory shows what they look like.
After they sign up
The member should get a receipt immediately, a welcome email that says when the first pickup is and what to bring, and a link to a page where they can update their card, skip a week, or pause. If those three things are automatic, the sign-up page has done its job and so have you.
Common questions
What should a CSA sign-up page include?
Share sizes with prices, the season dates, pickup days and locations, what a typical week looks like, and a card form. That is the whole page.
Should members create an account before paying?
No. Collect name, email, share, pickup, and card in one form. An account can exist afterward for managing the subscription.
Do I need a website to run a CSA sign-up page?
No. A single public page with its own link is enough; share it from Instagram, a newsletter, or a QR code at the market.
How do farms using Clementine get a sign-up page?
Every farm gets a public storefront at clementinecsa.com with its boxes, prices, pickup days, and a card form. Nothing to build.
