by

Webflow is a powerful website builder that allows you to create stunning websites with ease. If you want to add membership functionality to your Webflow site, Memberstack is a great solution. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of linking Memberstack to Webflow and setting up a membership system for your site.

First, let’s start by understanding what Memberstack is and how it works. Memberstack is a tool that allows you to easily add user authentication and membership functionality to your website. With Memberstack, you can create different membership levels, restrict access to certain pages or content, and even integrate with popular payment gateways.

To link Memberstack to Webflow, follow these steps:

Step 1: Sign up for an account on both Webflow and Memberstack. You can find the registration forms on their respective websites.

Step 2: Connect Webflow and Memberstack
Once you have signed up for both platforms, log in to your Memberstack account. On the dashboard, click on “Sites” from the left sidebar menu. Then click on “Add a Site” button and choose Webflow as your website builder.

Memberstack will then prompt you to connect your Webflow account by clicking on the “Connect with Webflow” button. Follow the instructions provided by Memberstack to authorize the connection between the two platforms.

Step 3: Set Up Your Membership Levels
After connecting your accounts, you will be redirected back to the Memberstack dashboard where you can start setting up your membership levels. Click on “Add Membership Level” and give it a name (e.g., Basic, Premium).

Within each membership level, you can define different features and access permissions. For example, with the Basic membership level, you may only want users to access certain pages or content while Premium members get full access.

  • Create Access Controls:

    • Memberstack provides a simple interface to select which pages or content should be accessible to each membership level. You can easily toggle the access permissions on or off for specific pages, sections, or elements.

  • Integrate Payment Gateways:

    • If you want to offer paid memberships, Memberstack integrates with popular payment gateways such as Stripe. You can set up recurring payments or one-time charges, and Memberstack will handle the billing and subscription management.

  • Customize User Data:

    • With Memberstack, you can collect additional information from your users during the registration process. This can be useful if you want to personalize their experience or gather demographic data for marketing purposes.

Step 4: Implementing Memberstack on Webflow
To make use of the membership functionality in Webflow, you need to add a few lines of code provided by Memberstack.

Installing the Memberstack Script

Copy the script provided by Memberstack and paste it just before the closing tag of your Webflow project. This script allows Webflow to communicate with Memberstack and enables all the membership features.

Add Membership Elements

In your Webflow project, you can now add different elements that are associated with membership functionality. For example, you may want to display login and signup forms, profile pages, or upgrade buttons for your users.

To do this, simply drag and drop the appropriate elements from Webflow’s element panel onto your canvas. Then use Webflow’s interactions panel to show/hide these elements based on whether the user is logged in or has a specific membership level.

Memberstack also provides pre-built UI components that you can customize and integrate seamlessly into your Webflow site.

Conclusion
