# IMPORT MEMBERS
Use the Members page to import members into a membership tier in bulk using a CSV file.
1. From the main menu, click on Members.
2. Click the Import Members button.
3. In the import window, enter the Notification Email address. This is the email address that will receive a confirmation once the import has been completed.
4. Select the Membership Product that the imported members should be added to.
5. Upload your CSV file.
6. Your CSV file must include the following columns:
* `firstname`
* `lastname`
* `emailaddress`
* `active`
* `datejoined` (optional)
7. Fill in each column as follows:
* `firstname`: The member's first name.
* `lastname`: The member's last name.
* `emailaddress`: The member's email address.
* `active`: Whether the member is an active member and can access the membership benefits. Use `yes` or `no` for each member.
* `datejoined`: Optional. If supplied, the membership date starts from this date. If no `datejoined` column is supplied, the membership starts from now.
8. You can import up to 500 members at a time in a single CSV file.
9. Click Import.
10. Memberply will begin processing the import and will email you once the import has been completed.
Example CSV:
```csv
