## In this article, learn how to create an invite-only membership and how to invite clients to it.
APPLIES TO: Admins
Last updated: February 14, 2023
If you offer an exclusive membership that you want to personally select who gets access to it, you can create an invite-only membership, which will allow your clients to see the membership listed but they have to be invited by an Admin in order to purchase and enroll in the membership.
***Note:** In order to Invite a Client to the membership, they will need to have created a client account in your business instance. If they don't a client account yet, [learn how to invite them](https://help.upperhand.com/invite-clients?hsLang=en).*
#### How to create an Invite-only membership
- Creating an invite-only membership is no different than [creating a regular membership](https://help.upperhand.com/create-a-membership?hsLang=en) but just make sure you have selected the box next to Invite-only membership during creation
#### How to Invite Clients to an Invite-Only Membership
- Log in to your account and click on Memberships from the left hand navigation bar
- Click on the invite-only membership that you would like to invite the client to by clicking where it says "Members" at the bottom of the specific membership card
- Put your cursor where it says Invite Client and click to begin to search for the client name you would like to invite
- Type in the client's name and select them from the list of options on the drop-down
- Once you click their name, they will automatically be added to the member list and sent an email invitation including a link on how to purchase the membership
- Once they complete their purchase, they will be switched to an active member of that membership
