Membership types are used to identify memberships assigned to signups. A membership type has many memberships which are assigned a single signup. The only required attribute for the membership type is a name, then signups can be given memberships with the newly created type. Read more on membership types [here](https://support.nationbuilder.com/en/articles/2362753-set-up-memberships#create-a-new-membership-type).
