# Velo: Enabling Custom Site Registration

Velo allows you to [create a custom site registration form](https://support.wix.com/en/article/how-to-create-a-custom-registration-form) using code.  After creating a custom site registration form, you must enable custom site registration so your visitors will be directed to your custom form.

> **Note:** 
> To learn about creating a custom member signup form without code, click [here](https://support.wix.com/en/article/creating-a-custom-signup-form-for-your-members-area).

### To enable custom site registration using Velo forms:

1.  Add a popup to your site.
2.  [Create a custom registration form](https://dev.wix.com/docs/develop-websites/articles/code-tutorials/wix-members/creating-a-custom-registration-form-with-code.md) in the popup using Velo.
    >**Notes:**
    > - The above tutorial uses the [frontend `register()`](https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/wix-members-frontend/authentication/register) function. To enable custom site registration using Velo forms, use the [backend `register()`](https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/wix-members-backend/authentication/register) function.
    > - Check [your member signup settings](https://support.wix.com/en/article/editing-your-member-signup-settings-for-the-default-form#editing-the-member-signup-settings-for-the-custom-signup-form) when creating the form, specifically whether a new member may join and log in immediately, or they need to wait for a manual approval.
3.  Enable Velo Form signup settings:
    1.  Click **Pages** ![](https://d2x3xhvgiqkx42.cloudfront.net/12345678-1234-1234-1234-1234567890ab/030571df-9516-496b-bc2a-2a8af88f13dd/2022/02/02/0e066fda-f14d-4190-b4de-70959d4f70ba/db90c9fb-861c-40a8-9889-e06dbddd6da4.png) on the left side of the Editor.
    2.  Click **Signup & Login**.
    3.  Click **Member Signup Form** (Wix Editor), or **Signup** (Wix Studio).
    4.  Click the drop-down menu and select **Velo Form**. Note that for this option to be available, you need to enable **Dev Mode** (Wix Editor), or click ![Code icon](https://github.com/wix-incubator/wix-code-docs/assets/50321691/2c41d3df-930f-4e0f-966f-038742adceed) and then **Start Coding** (Wix Studio). 
    5.  Choose the popup from the **What does it link to?** drop-down menu.
    6.  Select **Advanced Settings** and enable **Only allow backend calls for Signup and Login APIs**. To enable this setting, note that you must complete steps 4 and 5 for the **Member Login Form** (located under the **Login** tab in Wix Studio). This is an important step to ensure that site visitors can't verify themselves by modifying page code.
