What is Memberstack?
Memberstack is a membership and authentication platform designed specifically for Webflow sites. It handles user registration, login, and content gating without requiring you to leave the Webflow designer. The tool integrates Stripe for payment processing, supports social login options, and gives you full control over the design of member-facing pages. It's used by over 50,000 websites and works on a freemium model, so you can test functionality before committing to paid features. Memberstack sits between your Webflow site and your payment processor, managing who can access what content based on their membership status.
