MemberSpace for memberships
A membership and paywall layer that bolts onto a site you already run, most often Squarespace, Webflow, or WordPress.
What MemberSpace is
MemberSpace adds accounts, payments, and gated content to a website you already run. It does not host your content or supply a community; it decides who can see what.
Who it’s best for
People on Squarespace or Webflow who want to charge for part of their site without rebuilding it somewhere else.
- People who already have a site they like and only need the paywall
- Squarespace and Webflow users, where options are thin
- Anyone who wants members and payments in accounts they control
Who should avoid it
Anyone starting without a site, and anyone who expects the platform to supply the community, the courses, or the video.
- Anyone without a website already
- Community-led memberships that need discussion tooling
- Video or podcast products
Membership models it supports
Not every platform suits every kind of membership. These are the models we consider it a genuine option for.
- Paid community
- Newsletter or written membership
- Migrating an existing membership

Important limitations
- The subscription is not the whole cost. You still pay for the website underneath it.
- The Starter plan's 5% fee overtakes the $99 Growth plan at around $2,000 a month in membership revenue.
- No community, courses, video, or podcast features of its own. It gates what you build.
Data ownership and migration
Strong. The site is yours, payments run through your own Stripe account, and the member list exports. Leaving means removing a snippet rather than moving a business.
