Thousands of creators use MemberSpace and Squarespace to create successful membership businesses. Here’s why — and how you can do it, too.
Why Build a Membership Site on Squarespace?
Squarespace is an excellent platform for building membership sites, as it’s easy to add new pages and control how they look. There are several options for turning your Squarespace website into a membership site, including Squarespace Member Areas. But many Squarespace customers choose MemberSpace instead thanks to its:
- Super-simple integration with new or existing Squarespace sites
- Page and file-level member protection
- Customizable member dashboards
- Manual member management
- Integrations with Zapier, Castos and Circle
MemberSpace doesn’t place a limit on how many members you can have, or the number of plans you can offer. This means you can structure your Squarespace membership site any way you’d like, and it grows with you. Our customers use MemberSpace to create all kinds of membership businesses, and their membership businesses are a great source of inspiration.
