How to drip out protected page access
Depending on your membership business, you may want to drip out access to various protected pages and/or external links for your members.
Say for example you have 4 pages designed for members:
- yoursite.com/member-dashboard
- yoursite.com/course-part-1
- yoursite.com/course-part-2
- yoursite.com/course-part-3
And you have one plan called "Premium Plan" with a $200 one-time charge.
In our example, you want the first two pages (/member-dashboard and /course-part-1) to be available immediately after someone joins your Premium Plan.
However, you want the "/course-part-2" page available 7 days after signup and the "/course-part-3" page available 14 days after signup.
You can easily set this up in MemberSpace!

How to drip out protected page and external link access
- In MemberSpace > click Products > then click Add Product or Edit an existing one.
Under Where is your product?, choose whether you'd like to protect a page on your connected website or add an external link.
Continuing with the example above, we'll choose On my website and protect the first page (/member-dashboard) like this:
By selecting Immediately under Availability, you're making the page available as soon as someone joins your plan.
If you have multiple plans, the timing is relative to whenever they first joined any plan.
Next, we'll add the "/course-part-1" page the same way. Simply click On my website, and configure the page settings.
Then we'll add the "/course-part-2" page like this:
So this page will now only be available to a member 7 days after they initially signed up for your plan.
Lastly, we'll add the "/course-part-3" page like this:
This page will now only be available to a member 14 days after they initially signed up for your plan.
That's it, you're all done!
We recommend including your three course pages in your Member Menu so customers can easily navigate your content. You could also link to those pages on your "/member-dashboard" page (if applicable). Learn more about your member navigation options.
If a member tries to access a page that they don't have access to yet, they will see a notification popup like this:
To edit the wording of the popup in MemberSpace > click Customize > Custom Wording > Notifications & Alerts > scroll down to Drip content not yet available text and edit it > then click Save Changes when done.
If a member cancels their recurring/multiple charge plan which granted access to a protected page or external link that was being dripped out and then rejoins that plan, their drip period will start over. If the member was on a free or one time charge plan that expired or was canceled for them and rejoins the plan, their drip period will NOT start over.
