Totally new to civiccrm - we are a small UK makerspace, looking for a membership management system. We thought CCRM might be a good fit, so one of our members has spun up a test server to play round with. It looks great, but I can't seem to find any information about how we would allow self sign-up without gathering the credit card info.

We are a very small org and absolutely cannot handle the complexities of PCI compliance or the accompanying GDPR overhead of keeping that level of PII. That would cost us more in time and money than we pull in per year.

We just need a login + password, email and a "custom" field for standing order reference.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.
