Webflow Memberships

Work-in-Progress

No items found.

Memberships is a long-awaited platform capability in the Webflow ecosystem, which currently ( Jan-202e ) is in BETA.

It involves a few key capabilities;

  • The ability to "gate" parts of your site, so that only selected people can access them.
  • > Gating Pages, Folders, and Collection Pages ( available now )
  • > Gating elements ( coming soon )
  • > Gating individual CMS Collection items ( hopefully in the future )
  • Membership enrollment options
  • > Invitation by email
  • > Self-enrollment
  • The ability to log-in, and log-out, once enrolled
  • The ability to provide for paid memberships

Common Use Cases

  • Control access to specific content and screens, to specific users
  • Sell access to content, e.g. video courses, articles, downloadable materials... on a monthly subscription basis

Limitations

Important design limitations include;

  • User email is required, as is email verification. Whether you invite a user by email, or they enroll on the site, an email address MUST be supplied and they MUST verify it by clicking a link in that received email.
  • No OAuth2 support for external providers, e.g. Google
  • No admin ability to update or reset passwords

Hopefully-temporary limitations include;

  • No ability to manage Users in the Editor
  • No ability to view or change a User's access groups through the API
  • No password-reminder ability for Users yet
  • No ability to gate content to a specific User
  • No ability to gate individual CMS Items
  • No ability to auto-add a User's email to your newsletter provider when they click "Allow marketing"
  • BUG? Clicking "allow marketing" is currently required at enrollment
  • Quite a few more, but we're in beta...
