How to integrate MemberSpace with Webflow

Building membership sites requires authentication, payment processing, and content protection without breaking your Webflow design. MemberSpace handles member management and billing while working with your existing Webflow pages, making it practical for gated content libraries, subscription-based courses, and tiered access models.

You can integrate MemberSpace through JavaScript installation for standard membership features like login forms, content protection, and navigation updates. For custom implementations like dynamic content visibility or member data sync, use the MemberSpace JavaScript API with the Webflow API to build workflows that connect membership status to CMS content.

Use native features, direct embeds, and custom code

The core integration uses a single JavaScript snippet placed in your Webflow site's custom code section. This script enables all MemberSpace functionality including authentication, content protection, and payment processing.

Copy your installation code from your MemberSpace account dashboard (navigate to Customize > Install Options > Webflow to find your installation code). Navigate to your Webflow site settings, select Custom code, and paste the code into the Head Code section. Publish your site to activate the integration.

Note: The code only functions on published live sites, not in preview mode.

Once installed, MemberSpace adds login and signup capabilities to your site. You can trigger authentication through pop-up overlays or embedded forms. Navigation updates based on member status.

The integration provides these capabilities:

• Access member authentication state and membership information through the MemberSpace.ready event
• Protect pages through the MemberSpace dashboard without additional code
• Update navigation visibility based on authentication status
• Process payments through Stripe with Google Pay and Apple Pay support

Test all functionality on your published site before launching. The MemberSpace script interacts with Webflow's published HTML, so changes require republishing to take effect.

Implement login and signup forms

MemberSpace provides pop-up overlays triggered by link clicks and embedded forms placed directly in page content.

For pop-up forms, copy the embed code from your MemberSpace dashboard. Then, create a link element or button in Webflow where you want the login trigger to appear. Open the link settings and paste the MemberSpace pop-up code.

When members click this link, MemberSpace displays an authentication overlay without leaving the page.

For embedded forms, add a Code Embed element to your Webflow page where you want the form to appear. Paste the form embed code from MemberSpace into this element. Embedded forms work well for dedicated login or signup pages where authentication is the primary page function.

You can customize forms in these ways:

• Override default MemberSpace styles using custom CSS to match your Webflow design system
• Configure post-login landing pages through MemberSpace redirect settings
• Control which forms appear based on membership tier or authentication state

Use pop-ups for in-page authentication triggers like gated content access. Use embedded forms for dedicated authentication pages or member portals.

Build with Webflow and MemberSpace API

The MemberSpace JavaScript API and Webflow CMS API enable custom membership functionality.

Gate content based on membership tier

Implement dynamic content visibility by checking membership status through the MemberSpace API and showing or hiding Webflow CMS content accordingly.

The MemberSpace.ready event provides access to member information including active memberships. Use this data to control which Webflow elements display:

document.addEventListener('MemberSpace.ready', ({detail}) => {
  const {memberInfo} = detail;
  if (memberInfo) {
    const hasPremiumAccess = memberInfo.memberships.some(
      membership => membership.name === 'Premium' && membership.status === 'active'
    );
    if (hasPremiumAccess) {
      // Show premium content elements
    }
  }
});

Combine this with the Webflow CMS API to dynamically update content based on membership changes. Use the list items endpoint to retrieve content items and the update item endpoint to modify visibility settings.

This approach works for tiered content libraries, progressive course access, and member-specific resources.

Sync member data with Webflow CMS

Create or update Webflow CMS items when members join or change tiers by connecting MemberSpace to the Webflow API.

Set up a serverless function that receives MemberSpace notifications for member events. When a member joins, use the create item endpoint to create a corresponding CMS item. Include member metadata like name, email, and membership tier.

For membership updates, use the update item endpoint to modify existing records. This keeps member directories, profile pages, or access logs synchronized.

Trigger member workflows with Webflow webhooks

Connect Webflow form submissions or CMS changes to MemberSpace member management by using Webflow webhooks.

Create a Webflow webhook using the webhooks endpoint that fires on form submission or collection item events. Configure the webhook to send data to your serverless function, which then uses the MemberSpace API to update member metadata or trigger member actions.

This pattern supports onboarding workflows where form submissions create member profiles, content applications that grant access after approval, or membership upgrades triggered by Webflow CMS changes.

Use MemberSpace's member metadata update functionality to store custom data like preferences, progress tracking, or application status. Combine with MemberSpace's login modal functionality to prompt authentication when needed.

What you can build

Integrating MemberSpace with Webflow supports membership-based business models with gated content, subscription billing, and member-specific experiences.

• Online course platforms: Build a multi-tier learning platform with drip content release, where intro courses are free, intermediate courses require a basic membership, and advanced training is premium-only.
• Exclusive content libraries: Create a premium resource center with searchable templates, video tutorials, and downloadable assets. Free members access sample content while paid subscribers access the complete library.
• Member communities with tiered access: Design a professional network where all members access discussion forums, mid-tier members access additional features, and premium members access all capabilities. Use MemberSpace to control access while maintaining community activity in Webflow.
• Subscription newsletters with archives: Publish current newsletter content openly while gating the searchable archive behind a subscription paywall. Members log in to browse past issues by topic, date, or keyword.
