Turn off **Taking new members** and your join page and QR code stop taking new people. Everyone already in the club is untouched — they keep their pass, their offers and their billing, and can still sign in.

## Steps

1. Open **Your club**, then [**Settings → Taking new members**](https://app.useflub.com/manage/go/taking-new-members).
2. Press the switch to turn it off. It saves the moment you press it.
3. Optionally, write a **Sub-line** for the page guests see while you're paused — for example "We're full for now — we'll open again soon." The heading above it is fixed and the same for every club: "This club isn't taking new members".
4. Press **Save**.

## What happens next

Your join link and QR code show that page instead of the sign-up form until you turn the switch back on. Your sub-line is kept even after you turn joining back on, so you don't have to retype it next time.

Turning it back on doesn't need anything further — your join page opens to new members again straight away.

It works the same before you launch. Turn it off on a draft and your club launches with joining paused, until you turn it back on.

## If your club is closed

A club you've [closed](https://help.useflub.com/account/close-a-club.md) has no switch. **Taking new members** says "This club is closed, so nobody new can join. Everyone already in it keeps their pass." with a **Reopen it** link (owners only), and the row in **Settings** reads **Off · club closed**. Its join page says "This club has closed". Reopening the club is the only way to start taking members again.
