Connecting your website

After signing up for MemberSpace, you'll be asked to connect your website.

  1. Enter your business name and full website address (e.g. https://example.com).
  2. We'll automatically generate your MemberSpace URL depending on your website address.
  3. Select the platform your website is on from the dropdown and click Next.

You can connect an additional website to your MemberSpace account at any time under Customize > Connected Websites > Add a new site.

Protecting digital products

After you've connected your website, your next step is to protect your digital products. Products include protected pages (on your connected website) and/or external links (e.g. templates in Canva, a group on social media, a virtual meeting link, etc.).

  1. To add a new product, go to Products > Add Product in your MemberSpace account.
  2. Select a product type from the dropdown, and give your product a name.
  3. Then, protect a page on your website, or add an external link. If you're protecting a page, simply enter the slug (e.g. /course). If you're adding a link, enter the complete URL (e.g. https://example.com).
  4. Configure the remaining settings, and click Add Now at the bottom.

After you add protected pages, refresh your website and visit those pages to make sure they're protected.

Collecting payment

If you plan to use One Time Payment, Multiple Payment, or Recurring Payment plans, you'll need to connect your Stripe account to MemberSpace to collect payment. Stripe allows you to securely take payments from customers using all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, etc.) and supports various currencies. Your customers can also use our quick-pay checkout options including Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Link.

Pricing your products

Once you've protected your digital products, you can set the price by creating plans. Plans grant access to your various products (including the protected pages and/or external links within them).

  1. To create a plan, go to Pricing > Create Plan in your MemberSpace account.
  2. Choose the type of plan you'd like to create (Free, One Time Payment, Multiple Payment, Recurring Payment).
  3. Configure the remaining settings, and be sure to select the product(s) to which the plan should grant access. Then, click Create this plan at the bottom.
  4. After you create your plan, you can add its signup link to your website so members can join the plan and access your products. Under Pricing, click Signup link > copy the URL > add it wherever you'd like on your website.

Installing MemberSpace

Once you've protected your products and created your plan(s), you'll install MemberSpace on your website. Check out our step-by-step instructions to install MemberSpace on your website platform.

When you've finished installing MemberSpace on your website, you'll notice the Member Button appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your website.

Customizing MemberSpace

You can customize the look & feel of the Create Account form as well as change any wording and add additional custom signup fields in the MemberSpace backend.

Member account management

When members create a new account or sign in to an existing one, they will be able to view the protected pages and/or external links to which their plan(s) grant access. For logged-in customers, any login links or buttons on your website will open your Member Menu (if enabled). This allows customers to easily navigate your various products and access their account area where they can edit their profile, update payment information, and manage their plans.

You can edit, add, or delete products (or certain protected pages/external links within a product) or plans at any time. With MemberSpace, you can protect unlimited digital products and create unlimited plans, based on your business needs.
